Cleaning
$110.00 per booking (2 available)
The Duncan Pavilion has a monthly professional full clean. Between bookings we rely on hirers to clean with inspections and extra clean if really necessary from our volunteers every few days. If you want to come into a freshly cleaned building (eg yoga classes needing spotless floors) and/or have someone else sweep and mop a before clean where you still sweep and mop after OR an after clean (especially good for evening bookings - no late night after party mopping). Tell us if you want the clean before or after in a message.If you want the cleaner before and after your event choose 2 in quantity. Note if the cleaner has to deal with rubbish, taking down decorations etc they will charge extra and we'll pass those charges on vis spaceprotect). Cleaning is subject to availability of both the cleaner and the pavilion (if your booking is immediately before or after another booking it won't be possible)

Rules

No plastic glitter or sparkles (they get out and into the sand). No sticky tape, pins etc. Use bluetac or damage free removable hooks if needed and remove when finished. Remove your rubbish and clean (small meetings in summer can get away with sweeping, if it's wet you'll almost certainly need to mop. If you don't wish to clean booking a clean ahead by adding it to your booking is advised.

While we do allow a 30 min buffer between bookings and generally set access codes to be valid for 15min before and after your booking this just to ensure bookings don't clash - you should plan on completing all setup pack down must be done within your booked times.

The venue is not available between midnight and 6am - this is monitored by Alarm Watch.

The dish sterilizer is NOT a home dishwasher. If using it plates and utensils MUST be rinsed!
