Common Questions Answered
What does professional general involve?
Professional general follows a structured process including assessment, documentation, specialist treatment or restoration, quality verification, and insurance coordination. Our certified technicians use commercial-grade equipment and follow Australian Standards for every job.
How much does general cost?
Costs vary based on the extent of damage, property size, materials involved, and specific requirements. For insured events, we direct-bill your insurer and you pay only your policy excess. We provide free, no-obligation assessments and written quotes before any chargeable work begins.
Is general covered by insurance?
Most home and commercial insurance policies cover general resulting from sudden, accidental events. Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of damage. Our team can review your policy and advise on coverage during the initial assessment.
More Expert Answers
How long does general take?
Timelines depend on damage severity. Minor situations may be resolved in 1–3 days, moderate damage in 1–2 weeks, and severe or extensive damage may require several weeks. We provide a detailed timeline and keep you informed throughout the process.
Do I need professional help for general?
For anything beyond minor, surface-level damage, professional restoration is recommended. Hidden damage, health risks, and insurance requirements make professional assessment important even when visible damage appears minor. We offer free assessments to help you decide.
