Loose turf, black glue, or a handover inspection
Degraded turf holds pet urine, moss and stagnant water against the tiles. A handover inspector looks at the glue film and the scupper, not only at whether the green mat is gone.

Remove balcony turf, scrape the glue, and jet wash the tiles: access and preparation
Remove balcony turf, scrape the glue, and jet wash the tiles is a cleaning scope, not a renovation. The crew, the machines and the surfaces are what the price rows describe when this page has them. A hacked wall, a new waterproofing membrane, or a curtain supply is not included.
Rooms, soil, and add-ons that are already listed on the page change the visit. A Sunday slot, a condo lift rule, or a landed staircase is access, not a new catalogue. Part-time cleaning is a legal hourly visit by a citizen, PR or valid Work Permit holder. It is not a freelance foreign domestic worker.

Plan Remove balcony turf, scrape the glue, and jet wash the tiles
Confirm the home is ready: hacking stopped, or the occupants know which rooms are in scope.
Protect floors and keep chemicals matched to the surface. Acid is not for marble.
Clean the agreed rooms. Do not expand into a trade repair without a separate line.
Dry what must dry. A mattress or a sofa that is packed away wet will smell again.

| Access | HDB | Condo | Landed |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDB | Town Council rubbish rules apply to disposal. A weekly cleaner does not need a renovation permit. | Lift padding if equipment is bulky. Quiet hours for machines. | Stairs and outdoor areas must be named or they are not in the flat price. |
| Tenancy | The agent’s list is the brief. A receipt can be itemised. | MCST handover rules sit on top of the landlord’s list. | A landed inventory is longer. Name the storeys. |
| After works | Post-renovation dust is not a spring clean. | The same dust, plus a service lift for waste. | Open stairwells re-seed lower floors if they are skipped. |
