Payment for all variations must be made in full at the time of completion.
Furniture
– All furniture and personal items should be removed from the area prior to our team arriving unless otherwise stated on the original order.

– Microcement Services NSW will only move/replace the furniture that is stated in the quote form that a customer cannot move such as large items like bookshelves, couches, tables, TVs, etc. (Please note: These large items should still be emptied of their contents to make them as light as possible for our staff to move.
– Always ensure the books have been taken out of the bookshelves, the drawers out of a wardrobe, and any crystal glassware out of the cabinet, and disconnect all cables from electronics such as TVs. Electronics should always be disconnected to reduce the chance of any accidents happening, such as tripping over a cable while it is being moved. It is not up to our staff to disconnect and reconnect your electrical appliances, no “Set-top boxes, Foxtel Boxes, etc.” should be left connected to the TVs, as it will hinder our team from moving the TV unit.
– Otherwise, any extra heavy items or rooms not cleared properly for our staff will increase the furniture removal/replacement cost at the customer’s expense. Also, any accidental damage that was done to any items that should have been moved by the customer, our team cannot be held liable for. Small items like lamps, kids’ toys, glassware in display cabinets, photo frames, computer-related equipment on desks such as computer monitors, speakers, or small objects on the floor, will not be moved by our staff and should be cleared by the customer before the arrival of our team. Our team is only being paid to move large furniture-related items, we are not being paid to disconnect your electrical devices such as computers on desks and TVs from the wall or move small things such as lamps and decoration pieces, an example, that the customer can easily move before our team arrives at the job).

– If you request our workers to finish earlier than the work hours we set (for example we said we would need 7:30 am – 5:30 pm to finish the job) but you need to leave the job for an emergency or any other reasons (such as neighbours complaining about noise forcing us to stop working) and are requesting our workers to cease work and to come back on another day to finish the job there will be additional charges and fees. Such as a second-day labour fee and the cost of any tools needed to complete the job, such as but not limited to the cost to re-hire jackhammers, concrete grinders, trucks, ETC.
– If you request our labourers to stop working for any reason during the work hours agreed, this will increase the time that your job will take. Due to that fact, it will increase our costs by paying our labourers as well as our equipment hire fees. Due to any unexpected “stand downtime” that you may request. These charges will be added to your invoice (These charges may include a second day’s labour fee, a rehire of equipment fee, etc.).
– If our labourers have to stop working on-site during work hours that you approved us to work in due to noise complaints, weather, etc. You will be charged stand downtime fees of $45/per hour (per labourer on-site)

(This includes neighbours, strata, building managers/owners, renters, etc.) Microcement Services NSW will not take responsibility for noise complaints during the duration of our work. This is extremely important on every job as we will be using high-powered jackhammers, concrete grinders, vinyl strippers, etc. Demolition work will create a large amount of noise, and if we are forced to stop work due to noise complaints because you failed to notify us, then you will be charged a full day’s labour as well as any additional charges for things such as travel time, equipment hire costs, etc.
Customer’s Instructions
– Whilst the Labourer remains an employee of Microcement Services NSW, they shall perform the service(s) in accordance with the Customer’s instructions. As such, Microcement Services NSW shall not be liable for any actions of the Labourer in following the Customer’s instructions.
Minor & Accidental Damage
– Ensure our Microcement Services NSW team has free access to the work area and is clear of all furniture and potential breakable goods from your home, walls, floors, benchtops, and cupboards. All reasonable care will be taken, but we will not be liable for damage to any items left in or around the work area (This includes things such as fridges, dishwashing machines, other tradies’ tools, etc.)
– When items cannot be removed, e.g., fitted kitchen cabinets, kitchens installed over flooring systems, shower cubicles, baths, toilets, fitted wardrobes, ETC. The contractor will always take great care in their work. For your property to protect all areas, however, due to the size and power of the machinery and equipment we use, the contractor cannot be held responsible for minor damage to these items, such as scrapes, scuffs, cracks, marks, ETC.
– The client must put up some form of strong protection against any glass that our team is working on nearby while removing flooring systems, such as tiles (but not limited to just tiles, other flooring removal services also may have this issue occur). As there is a small chance that small fragments of the tile or other potential material could potentially not be sucked up by our commercial dust extraction units and cause potential damage, crack, shatter, or chip nearby glass that we are working near. To prevent this, the client MUST put up strong temporary protection such as Chipboard/Masonite/Plywood/Corflute sheeting, ETC. Which can be purchased from a place like Bunnings and easily installed with something such as painter’s tape, the client must install it on the glass prior to our team coming to protect against any potential accidental damage. This includes but is not limited to (doors, windows, sliding doors, picture frames, wall-mounted TVs, lights, or anything else in our work site that is glass that may be potentially damaged). Our team will always try as hard as we can to avoid any accidental damage at all costs. Microcement Services NSW is not liable for the damage caused by your failure to do so. All costs of accidental damage to glass on-site are at the customer’s expense, NOT Microcement Services NSW’s.
– All care but no responsibility can be accepted for minor damage to decorations, paintwork, furniture, tiles, etc. No responsibility is accepted for damage to telephone wires, computer cabling, or stereo equipment relocation and/or reassembly. It is illegal to run power cables under the carpet.
– The act of stripping the flooring may cause damage to the base or the subfloor, where the subfloor is inadequate for any reason. As a result, Microcement Services NSW may need to cease work until certain other works or repairs are carried out. Microcement Services NSW will not be liable for the cost of such repairs or additional works, or for any damage that is caused to the subfloor as a result of inadequacies of any kind in the subfloor.
– All care but no responsibility will be accepted for any damage to walls behind the scotia and skirting boards during the removal process by our team. There may be accidental damage while our team removes scotia or skirting boards from your property, as often they have been incorrectly installed or not done by a professional, as well as having extremely long nails to hold them into dry walls while removing scotia and skirting boards from drywalls there will almost always be minor damage. If you have solid walls, there will likely be less damage. Our team will always try as hard as we can to avoid any accidental damage at all costs. Microcement Services NSW is not liable for the damage.
– Our workers do everything they can to protect your property, belongings, and home at all times. When tiles meet tiles or timber flooring meets tiles, Microcement Services NSW cannot be held responsible in any form or any way for replacement or damage to timber and tiles, due to the large equipment that we use, such as jackhammers and concrete grinders. We take all due care, but accidents happen, which are unpredictable. Often areas, where tiles meet other tiles can be incredibly hard to remove as the section of tiles not being removed, may be accidentally damaged due to vibrations from the jackhammer even if we don’t touch it and stay clear of it as the glue/cement is often decades old and the vibrations will disturb it.
– Due to magnesite flooring, concrete cancer forms throughout the concrete slab, destroying the structural integrity of the concrete slab over decades and decades. While we are removing your magnesite flooring with jackhammers although all care is always taken, vibrations may accidentally disturb it which can result in unexpected damage to the floor of the unit’s concrete slab or even the roof of the unit’s concrete slab beneath due to structural damage in the concrete slab due to vibrations from the jackhammer. This is impossible to predict and impossible to avoid, although it extremely rarely happens.
– Any accidental damage caused on-site is generally automatically reported to the CEO of the company so that we can evaluate the situation and see if a quote for “minor repairs” needs to be taken out, if this is the case, we will get a quote from three (3) separate companies to quote the “minor repairs” If any accidental damage that was caused on-site it must be reported to the CEO of the company via 0424 408 330 or enquiries@microcementservicesnsw.com.au within three (3) working days.
– Any accidental damage caused on-site is generally automatically reported to the CEO of the company so that we can evaluate the situation and see if we need to make an insurance claim for any “major repairs” that need to be taken out, If this is the case any accidental damage that was caused on-site it must be reported to the CEO of the company via 0424 408 330 or enquiries@microcementservicesnsw.com.au within three (3) working days.
Condition of your Concrete/Timber Subfloor
– The final condition of a timber subfloor after your flooring system has been removed may depend on how well the flooring system was stuck down. Timber subfloors will be damaged and marked by the removal of nails and glue. All care is taken during the removal process; however, marks and scratches to the timber subfloor can not be avoided in some areas. Any repairs required to the subfloor are the responsibility of the client.
– Very rarely, but sometimes, replacement of timber planks to your subfloor may be required. If they are already damaged prior to us removing the flooring system on top, or if there is moisture that is making the timber subfloor brittle. There may be major damage, holes, grooves, and loose planks in the subfloor as a result of removing flooring systems. Any repairs required to the subfloor are the responsibility of the client.
– All care but no responsibility can be accepted for minor damage to subfloors. Subfloors may accidentally get minor damage while we scrape thousands of staples, nails, tacks, glue, etc off them, or just simply while we remove tiles off fragile old floorboards that are decades old.
– The condition of your concrete slab after the flooring removal process will depend on the original slab condition before the flooring was laid and how hard or soft your slab is. If you have a soft slab, there may be holes/grooves and marks from removing your flooring. Any repairs to the subfloor are the responsibility of the client. (This is due to the “MPA STRENGTH” of your concrete slab, every slab has a different MPA STRENGTH, which means when our jackhammer blade hits your concrete slab, if your concrete slab has a HIGH MPA STRENGTH it will NOT dent your slab, if your slab was poured poorly and did not cure well, it will have a LOW MPA STRENGTH, causing dents to occur when our jackhammer blade hits your concrete slab) Microcement Services NSW will not be liable for this damage as it is impossible for us to predict or prevent.
– Concrete is measured by its strength capacity. MPA (megapascals) is the metric measurement for psi or pounds per square inch. The BC Building Codes require a minimum MPa for specific concrete projects.
Pipe Work
– Pipes may be embedded in your concrete slab. However, the slab thickness must be increased by 25mm (This is the Australian standard) and the mesh increased to the next size up. (Reference: “Pipes Under Slabs“) If a pipe is NOT 25mm deep in your concrete slab, it is most likely “old pipework” from around the 1920s – 1980s, Microcement Services NSW will not be held liable for any old pipework that is accidentally “struck, hit, ground, broken, etc) by any of our tools, if it did not meet the Australian guidelines of being 25mm deep in your concrete slab. As this would have been impossible for us to predict or prevent. Therefore, Microcement Services NSW will not be liable for any accidental damage that may occur.
Electrical Cables
– Electrical Cables may be embedded in your concrete slab. However, the slab thickness must be increased by 50mm (This is the Australian standard). If an electrical cable is NOT 50mm deep in your concrete slab, it is most likely an “old electrical cable” from around the 1920s – 1980s, Microcement Services NSW will not be held liable for any old electrical cable work that is accidentally “struck, hit, ground, broken, etc) by any of our tools, if it did not meet the Australian guidelines of being 50mm deep in your concrete slab. As this would have been impossible for us to predict or prevent. Therefore, Microcement Services NSW will not be liable for any accidental damage that may occur.
Detailed Work
– If you have things such as office furniture that is built over a flooring system, such as but not limited to carpet. This will affect our ability to remove the flooring system easily, we will have to spend almost 3-4x times longer on average to ensure that we can get as clean cuts as possible, to remove as much of the flooring system as physically possible. (Potential extra charges may apply)
Defects
– The Customer shall inspect the Services on completion of their job and shall, within two (2) days of completion (time being of the essence) notify Microcement Services NSW of any alleged defect, shortage in quantity, damage, or failure to comply with the description or quotation. The Customer shall allow Microcement Services NSW to inspect the Services within a reasonable time following completion if the Customer believes the Services are defective in any way.
– If the Customer shall fail to comply with these provisions, the Services shall be presumed to be free from any defect or damage. For defective Services, which Microcement Services NSW has agreed in writing that the Customer is entitled to reject, Microcement Services NSW‘s liability is limited to rectifying the Services except where the Customer has acquired Services as a consumer within the meaning of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (CWlth) or the Fair Trading Acts of the relevant state or territories of Australia and is therefore also entitled to, at the consumer’s discretion either a refund of the purchase price of the Services or rectification of the Services.
Fire Alarms
– Fire alarms are not our duty to isolate on ALL jobs, as we do not have the key to the fire alarm box or access to reach high fire alarms, etc. PLEASE make sure that you isolate the fire alarms before our arrival, as dust from the removal of concrete, magnesite, etc, will set off the fire alarms. If the fire alarms are set off and there is a fine, it is not our duty to pay the fine if you failed to isolate the fire alarms. It should also be noted that all residents in the unit block should be aware that the fire alarms have been isolated.
– The customer MUST arrange for automatic and back-to-base smoke/fire alarms to be isolated before Microcement Services NSW commences work and remain isolated for the duration of our work on-site (failing which the Client will be responsible for any call-out and associated fees charged by emergency responders)
Cleaning
– Stripping floors usually produces a substantial amount of dust. Microcement Services NSW uses dust extraction units wherever reasonably possible and takes care to vacuum the work area after the completion of work. Despite this, Microcement Services NSW cannot eliminate dust completely, and it is the Customer’s responsibility to protect and clean areas, as necessary.
– It should be noted that jobs that create a large amount of dust, such as concrete grinding, magnesite removal, tile removal, etc, will be cleaned up by our workers after completion of work in the work area. All floors we worked on will be cleaned, as well as all unit block common areas, etc.
– If other areas get affected with dust that we are not working in, such as the bathroom, this is up to the client to clean. Other areas that are also hard to clean, such as the roof, lights, windows, walls, and furniture, if on-site, and mirrors, are also up to the customer to clean. We are simply a removal team, not a cleaning team. We strongly recommend that you isolate any area where we are not working.
– We will remove and dispose of all waste (unless a skip bin is required) and clean up by sweeping and vacuuming the floors that we worked on. We will often just do a simple vacuum of the floor after we have removed your flooring system or have ground your floor. We are not an extensive cleaning team.
– Any and ALL additional cleaning costs are the client’s responsibility and not Microcement Services NSW’s. It is also recommended that you isolate areas that we are not working in to stop dust from penetrating other areas. It is always recommended that you hire a professional cleaner after having any major renovations completed. This is at the owner’s expense, not Microcement Services NSW‘s.
Site Inductions
– If your job requires a site induction, training, or any special licenses, you MUST let us know 7 days before the job starts so that we can ensure everything is ready.
PPE Requirements
– If your job requires our employees to wear special PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), you MUST let us know 7 days before the job starts so that we can ensure everything is ready.
Job Completion
– On completion of all jobs, please be on-site when work is complete to sign off that you are satisfied – our on-site supervisor will call you to do an essential part of the job known as the “Job Completion Walkthrough” to inspect the work and to make sure that it is completed to your standards and that you are happy with the work you have received BEFORE the team leaves for the day. This is especially important for jobs that require our team to hire expensive commercial equipment (such as concrete grinders). Because if we have to come back the next day for a small touch-up, we will have to rehire expensive equipment, which you will be charged for if we have to come back. So, PLEASE inspect your job carefully on completion and ensure you are happy with the work you have received from our team. If the client is not present on completion of the job, the work will be deemed completed to the best standards and approved for invoice payment. Please organise someone to be available to do the “Job Completion Walkthrough” when you book your job.
– It is always the customer’s responsibility to cover, protect, and isolate all areas, surfaces, and anything else before our team’s arrival that is likely to get damaged or have dust affect the area. Microcement Services NSW cannot be held liable for any of the costs of cleaning needed or damage caused due to the customer’s failure to cover, protect, and isolate all areas and surfaces that require protection. We recommend using plastic sheets, sticky tape, etc. If you do not want the areas to get affected by dust or debris while our team performs services such as vinyl removal, magnesite removal, tile removal, concrete grinding, etc.
Customer Complaints
– If you have any concerns or disputes about the service(s) that we have provided for you. You agree to first try to resolve the dispute with us directly before any other path, such as but not limited to (Court and Fair Trading). All complaints should be discussed immediately so that we can come to a resolution to this matter
– All customer complaints should be sent to Enquiries@MicrocementServicesNSW.com.au or 0424 408 330
– All complaints should be discussed and dealt with immediately. PLEASE DO NOT wait until after the team has left the property. If the team has “completed” the job and you are not happy with the work, you should discuss this issue immediately with the on-site supervisor or contact 0424 408 330 immediately while the team is still on-site so that they can fix any issues or complaints that you may have with the work. Once again, this is especially important for jobs that our team has hired equipment for, because if we have to come back the next day for a touch-up, we will have to rehire the equipment, which you will be charged for.
Not All Jobs Can Be Dust-Free
– When we are completely stripping out a flooring system, substantial dust is produced from removing the floor as well as from grinding the concrete. This dust is still reduced by the use of our high-powered commercial dust extractors connected directly to our hand grinders, jackhammers & concrete grinders. Unfortunately, small amounts of dust are still produced and cannot be completely eliminated.
– It should also be noted that certain equipment, such as a concrete grinder, needs some dust to work correctly. (Although over 95-99% of it is sucked up by a dust extractor that is plugged directly into the concrete grinder) But around 4-5% of the dust still escapes. This is intentionally designed like that, as the concrete grinder needs dust under the diamonds to grind your concrete without damaging your concrete or our machines.
Power On-Site
– The client agrees to allow the contractor access to electricity as required to complete the necessary works.
– The client must provide sufficient light for us to complete the necessary work. If there is no power on-site, you must supply Lighting powered by a generator or batteries.
– Microcement Services NSW has high-powered machinery for floor stripping, dust extraction, and concrete grinding. This equipment requires a lot of power to operate at the same time, some houses & units with old electrical wiring, fuses, and old circuit boards have minimal power outputs and are not capable of running all of our equipment at the same time, this may prevent us from using all of our equipment at the same time and may prevent us from using dust extraction equipment in some scenarios.
– If you have minimal power outlets (Sometimes only 2 instead of a large amount on different circuits, like in new homes) and are not capable of running all of our equipment at the same time. Due to this, more electrical circuits may have to be added to ensure that we can continue using all of our equipment on-site. (This is at the customer’s expense and is relatively cheap, normally only 1 needs to be added for residential jobs for old unit blocks and several for commercial jobs)
– You must provide our team with sufficient power for the use of our equipment, or you must provide temporary site power for our team from a source such as a generator. Depending on the size of your job as well as what services you are receiving, you may need to provide more power points for the team. If you are concerned about your property’s lack of power, please discuss this with our team before the job. We may need several power points on DIFFERENT circuits to power multiple high-powered pieces of equipment to reduce the chance of your power “Overloading” and shutting down. Which would result in you having to hire a generator.
– Minimal power will inhibit the safe operation of our machinery and delay job completion. If we have problems with insufficient power, waiting charges may apply while our team cannot work until the power is fixed/restored or a generator is supplied for our team to continue working (ALL charges regarding the cost of the generator will be at the customer’s expense, this includes but may not be limited too: Hiring of the generator, transporting the generator to the location, returning the generator to the location, refuelling the generator, equipment Waiver Plus Fees)

Keeping Our Work Zone Clear
– When doing demolition work, our workplace must be clear, other tradespeople are not in our way, on-site, or working in our area, we REFUSE to work while ANY other tradespeople are on-site. (For example, if they even plug in one simple tool, it may blow the power circuit that we require, causing all of our tools to become unusable.) or (it’s also especially important if you have people like painters/plasterers there because all tiny amounts of dust that do escape the dust extractor will get stuck to it, then you will have to remove the paint and re-do it.) Anytime a “Trades Person” is on-site, we will charge you stand-down time for ALL team members on-site (Please view our terms and conditions for the costs of our “Stand Down Time”)
– The removal of any non-fixture obstacles or other items from the surface and surrounding area where the works are to be performed.

– If several labourers have to travel, say 30KM for a 2-3 day job, a small call-out fee turns out to be very little split between several labourers. Thank you for your understanding.
How Do We Work Out How Much To Charge You For Your Call-Out Fee?
– Depending on the travel distance
– Petrol required
– How many labourers are travelling to and from your location
– How many days are required to complete your job
– The call-out fee is split between our entire team of labourers, so it ends up being a very small amount split between them
