Question 1

What does a strip out cost?

Accepted Answer

Kitchens start at $800 and bathrooms at $1,200. Laundries sit in the same range. What moves it is how much is coming out, whether the floor comes up, how hard the access is, and whether anything pre-1990 needs testing first. Full internal strip outs, wall removals and house demolition vary too much for a starting number to be useful, so we quote those on the job. Either way you get an itemised figure in writing within 24 hours, and that figure is what you pay.

Question 2

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

A kitchen, bathroom or laundry is cleared in a day. Small internal demo, same. A full internal strip out is usually inside a week. You get the finish date with the quote, not after we start, so you can book your trades around it.

Question 3

Do you handle asbestos?

Accepted Answer

We do it ourselves, rather than bringing someone else in. Anything pre-1990 gets looked at before we quote, removed safely by our own crew, disposed of properly, and it sits inside the same fixed price. It doesn't add a contractor to your job or a week to your timeline.

Question 4

How far do you travel?

Accepted Answer

Melbourne metro is our home ground and most of what we do. Beyond that we cover the whole state — regional, coastal, the Peninsula. Tell us the address and we'll tell you when we can be there.

Question 5

Do I need a permit?

Accepted Answer

For internal strip outs, usually not. For house demolition and anything structural, yes — and we handle the application, the disconnections and the council side. We'll tell you which one yours is when we quote.

Question 6

Do you take the rubbish away?

Accepted Answer

Yes, always, and it's in the fixed price. Skip hire and tip runs are ours, not yours. Anything that can be recycled, is.

Question 7

What about the parts of the house I'm keeping?

Accepted Answer

Floor protection goes down and barriers go up before the first tile comes off. The hallway, the floorboards and the staircase you're keeping are covered the whole way through. We photograph the handover so there's nothing to argue about later.

Question 8

Can you work to my builder's start date?

Accepted Answer

That's the normal way we work. Tell us the date your trades are booked for and we'll clear it before then — or we'll tell you straight away if we can't, while you've still got time to sort something out.

Question 9

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

$20M public liability, VBA registered, family owned since 2013. Certificates on request before we start.
