Tarneit property context
An occupied Tarneit property may need preparation before sticking door repair can begin. Send photos of both faces, the hinge edge, latch edge, frame contact marks and the floor clearance. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A useful Tarneit enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
