03 Is it possible to arrange the inspection on the same day as getting my keys, so I do not need an extra day of leave?
Yes, we can arrange a same-day inspection. The handover process usually takes about an hour. If you collect your keys at 10 a.m., DanCFu can start the inspection at 11 a.m. Call us on 61349000 to book a date.
04 May I book you on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays?
We are the DanCFu inspection brothers — several of us work together, and we can find a time that fits. The most important thing is to book early.
05 How long does the process take? Do I have to be present during the inspection?
Open-plan studio — about 2 hours
1–2 bedrooms — about 3 hours
3–4 bedrooms — about 4.5 hours
Then please spare 30–45 minutes for us to go through the defects with you.
Many owners let us in and then go for a meal. The inspector will call you when he is almost done. You are very welcome to stay on site, so we can also share tips on later maintenance.
06 I have other questions…
Please give us a call. We can speak Cantonese, English or Mandarin.
Hotline: +852 6134 9000
07 I love the DanCFu theme song! Who can write a song for my own brand?
For an advertising or theme song, contact Carol. It is also fine for a proposal or for teaching use.
Enquiry / WhatsApp (songwriting only, not an inspection booking): +852 6012 3220
This is the theme-song author’s number, not the DanCFu inspection hotline. For inspections, use +852 6134 9000 or a WhatsApp quote.
Can landlords book a move-out re-inspection and a whole-flat deep clean?
Yes. Past clients can book a tenant move-out re-inspection when a tenant is leaving, to check the return condition and catch damage or items that need replacing, so the landlord is not left with losses. You can also book a professional whole-flat deep clean, with the whole flat patched and given a fresh paint finish. See the landlord services page for details and before-and-after photos.
