Cleaning
$110.00 per booking
The Duncan Pavilion has a monthly professional full clean. Between bookings we rely on hirers to clean & "leave it as you'd hope to find it". This option is if you want/need to come into a freshly cleaned building (eg yoga classes needing spotless floors) or simply have have someone else sweep and mop after your event (suits business bookings but especially good for evening bookings - no late night after party mopping). Includes a pre- booking hose down of balcony. Note if the cleaner has to deal with rubbish, taking down decorations, packing away tables and chairs, dishwashing, outside cleaning etc they will charge extra and we'll pass those charges on via 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!
