General Health and Safety

The customer acknowledges and agrees not to enter the working space where the Elite technician is actively working or has equipment placed. For safety considerations, we provide the following guidelines:

  • Refrain from touching our equipment or tools.
  • Note that the carpet or floor may remain damp for several hours after the work is completed, potentially creating a slip hazard when transitioning from carpeted areas to hard floors such as tiles or floorboards.
  • Exercise caution around electrical items, ensuring awareness of cords to avoid tripping, and keep children away from operating equipment.
  • In some instances, we may need to place a bucket with a heater and hot water in the laundry or bathroom. For safety reasons, people and pets should stay out of the area around the bucket during the duration of the work.

Additionally, customers are requested to inform our technicians of any potential hazards within the house or grounds before the work begins.

Delivery of Service

Elite Restoration and Maintenance applies industry-approved methods, equipment, and procedures with due care and professionalism. However, the customer acknowledges and accepts that Elite cannot guarantee the complete removal of all stains, discolouration, or odours during cleaning, restoration, or refinishing services.

Certain substances—including but not limited to pet urine, vomit, feces, blood, inks, dyes, bleach, caustic agents, and other chemical compounds—may cause permanent damage, particularly on delicate fibres or materials with a history of staining. Results may vary depending on the age, composition, and condition of the item.

Elite is not liable for pre-existing conditions that are not visible or detectable during initial visual inspection. These may include, but are not limited to:

  • Fugitive dyes not properly set during manufacture or re-dyeing
  • Lounge suites with water- or solvent-soluble coloured backing materials
  • Over-stretched, delaminated, or sun-damaged carpet affecting dye integrity
  • High-alkaline cleaning solutions previously used that may have compromised dye stability
  • Marker stains on carpet, fabric backing, or padding
  • Bodily fluids embedded within mattresses or upholstery

Elite’s services are provided on a best-effort basis, and while every reasonable attempt will be made to achieve optimal results, no warranty is offered regarding the complete restoration of affected items.

Satisfaction Guarantee

Elite offers a 7-Day free re-do Guarantee to all customers. If dissatisfaction or concerns arise regarding the service within 7 days of completion:

  • Contact us within the specified timeframe.
  • Allow us the opportunity to address and remedy any workmanship concerns in a reasonable time.

Please note that the 7-Day Satisfaction Guarantee is a service warranty and not a money-back guarantee.

Quote and Actual Work Charge

If Elite provides a written quote during a premises visit, the quote is valid for 30 days. A $100 fee applies for re-attendance to re-quote the same service at a later stage. If the scope of work changes from the initial quote, Elite reserves the right to charge an additional fee or, if the work is not undertaken, charge 50% of the original job value. Examples of varied scope include significantly dirtier surfaces, additional stains, mold growth into additional areas, or changed conditions due to renovations.

For phone quotes, the quote is subject to the condition of the surfaces/items and their size.

Cancellation Fees and Surcharges

Elite reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee (minimum $55) if adequate notice is not given. Bookings exceeding $330 may require a deposit, refundable and transferable with a minimum of 2 full business days’ notice for cancellation or transfer. Surcharges may apply for weekend, after-hours, or public holiday bookings, multi-level apartments, or when multiple operators are required. Clients are responsible for organizing parking for technicians, with associated costs added to the invoice if parking is not readily available.

Payment Terms

The default payment term is Cash on Delivery (C.O.D.), with exceptions for commercial clients with contractual agreements or end-of-lease cleaning requiring prepayment. A 3% late payment surcharge may apply per month for overdue invoices. In case of non-payment, Elite may engage a debt collector, and associated costs will be borne by the customer.

End of Lease Cleaning

The free-redo guarantee covers missing items only and does not apply to re-soiling by the customer or other tradespersons’ work after the cleaning is completed.

  • • Accessibility to the garden area on the scheduled service day
  • • Inform Elite of any specific concerns or preferences related to the gardening service.
  • • Clear the garden area of any obstacles, debris, or pet-related items.
