Start with the right scope

Before booking, identify the condition of the property and the outcome you need. This page focuses on blocked-drain cleaning.

Remove loose items, provide access instructions and tell the team about stains, pets, residue or priority areas.

What to clean and check

A careful clean starts with visible and high-touch surfaces. Work from high surfaces down, collect loose debris before wet cleaning and use products suited to the material. Sinks, drains, bathrooms, kitchens, floors and odour-affected surfaces.
  • Remove rubbish, packaging and loose belongings.
  • Dust ledges, corners, frames and fittings before vacuuming or mopping.

Never mix drain chemicals and call a licensed plumber for leaks, sewage or structural damage.

Prepare for a better result

Confirm the address, parking, keys or lockbox, water and power, and any inspection date before booking. If the work follows a trade visit or tenancy change, wait until the responsible person confirms the area is ready. Ask for exact inclusions and optional extras in writing before booking.
