Start with the right scope.
Removal, dismantling, clearance and appropriate disposal. New fixtures and replacement work have their own HAUSE destinations. Review structure and ground access before dismantling begins.
What the project brief should cover
For deck removal, describe the existing condition, the intended outcome and anything that limits access or timing. Include clear photographs and product details when discussing the job with a provider. Do not submit entry codes, payment details or sensitive records in the form.
- Structure dimensions. Record what is known and mark anything that needs an on-site check.
- Property boundaries. Record what is known and mark anything that needs an on-site check.
- Utility locations. Record what is known and mark anything that needs an on-site check.
- Ground condition. Record what is known and mark anything that needs an on-site check.
What to confirm before agreeing
Structural, utility and material hazards need assessment before anyone starts cutting or dismantling.
Ask for a written scope that identifies preparation, protection, connected trades, disposal, finishing and the agreed completion checks. Confirm the responsible provider’s qualifications, insurance and any local requirements for this work. Ask how concealed conditions and changes are approved before additional charges arise.
Budget and timing
Location, access, existing conditions, product choices and the work included affect the quotation. This page describes a type of request; it does not promise a price, local availability, an appointment or a verified provider match. Confirm any assessment fee and commercial terms directly.
Leave the next stage clear.
Agree whether the space is left cleared, swept, stripped or repaired. The next trade needs a documented handoff.
