BEFORE YOU BOOK
Check before you book
Construction Industry Register Ireland (CIRI)
CIRI is a VOLUNTARY register today. The Regulation of Providers of Building Works and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2022 was signed on 5 July 2022 and S.I. 429/2022 commenced parts of it on 29 August 2022; the Construction Industry Federation was appointed registration body on 16 January 2023. Registration is NOT yet mandatory: the divisions regulations had not been drafted as of a May 2025 Dáil answer, and CIRI itself projects mandatory registration from 2027. So being absent from CIRI breaks no law in 2026 — and being on it is still the only independent check of a builder that exists here.
Search the Construction Industry Register Ireland for the name or the registration number before you agree a price. ciri.ie →
a Certificate of Compliance on Completion
Issued by the assigned certifier and the builder, where the work needed a commencement notice on completion, before the building is occupied. It matters because it is lodged on the statutory register and is what a buyer's solicitor looks for; work done without one surfaces on sale.
Agree before the work starts that you will be handed a certificate of compliance on completion, and keep it with the house papers.
Insurance
Expect public liability and, for anything structural, professional indemnity from whoever designed it. From a company, ask for the insurer, the limit and the VAT number, and ask who actually attends: the team that turns up may be employed, subcontracted or both, and only one of those is supervised by the firm you are paying.
Ask to see the current certificate of insurance — the insurer's name, the limit and the date it runs to.
Trader or private seller
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 a trader must tell you they are a trader, and your consumer rights — work carried out with reasonable skill and care, and a cooling-off period on a contract agreed in your home or online — apply to traders and not to private sellers. On Locufy the trader status is shown on the profile.
Look for the trader badge on the Locufy profile, and ask anyone else for it in writing before you agree a price.
VAT
VAT at 13.5%, the reduced rate Revenue publishes for this service. Ask whether the price you were given includes it. A trader under the €42,500 registration threshold does not charge it; one over it must, and must show it separately.
Ask whether the figure you were given includes it, and for the VAT number if they are registered — Revenue publishes the rate for this service. revenue.ie →

A good answer: Expect public liability and, for anything structural, professional indemnity from whoever designed it — gutter and Drain Cleaning — cleaning out gutters and drainage systems is essential to prevent water damage.

- Look firstSize of the conservatory — more rooms means more setting up and more packing away — that is what the conservatory cleaner is judging on the first visit, and a price given without it is a guess.
- Agree what is being doneLevel of dirt buildup — heavy build-up has to be dealt with before anything else — put in writing before anyone starts, because it is the document you both read back at the end.

AFTER
When the job is done
Hiring a conservatory cleaner: questions people ask
The cost can vary based on the size of the conservatory, the level of dirt buildup, and any additional services required. For instance, a larger conservatory with extensive grime may take longer and thus incur higher charges.
The duration of a conservatory cleaning job usually ranges from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the size and condition of the space. A thorough clean, including all aspects, will take longer than a quick touch-up.
Many cleaning services offer emergency or same-day options, but these may come at a premium cost. It's best to check with local providers for availability and any additional charges.
Yes, many cleaning companies offer packages that include conservatory cleaning along with other services like window or gutter cleaning. This can often result in discounted rates compared to booking separately.
Conservatory cleaning usually excludes structural repairs, electrical work, or deep cleaning of furnishings unless specifically requested. It's important to clarify what is included when booking the service.
Search the name or the registration number. If the number does not resolve to the name on the quote, stop there.
