  • Those who complete a Brick Cleaner accreditation will be listed Think Brick Australia’s website.

How do I maintain my Brick Cleaning Accreditation?

It is a condition of maintaining accreditation that an accredited brick cleaner must:

  1. attend and successfully complete all brick cleaning courses prescribed by TABMA Training from time to time for accredited brick cleaners; and
  2. notify us if and when he or she leaves the employment of, or sells, the relevant brick cleaning business listed on our website and, assuming that he or she continues to work as a brick cleaner, provide us with the details of his or her new employer or brick cleaning business (as the case may be) and his or her new contact details.

Terms and Conditions of Brick Cleaning Accreditation listing

To maintain its listing on our website, a brick cleaning company or business is required at least every two years to:

  • confirm that it is still providing brick cleaning services;
  • notify us of its current contact details; and
  • prove to our satisfaction that it still employs an accredited brick cleaner.

Brick Cleaning Warranties

Builders nationally who use accredited brick cleaners listed on Think Brick Australia’s website will have their brick cleaning work protected by a warranty by the manufacturer of the bricks that were cleaned.
