Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Footscray property context
An occupied Footscray property may need preparation before stuck window repair can begin. Send photos of the full window, the binding area, tracks or hinges, handle and any painted-over edge. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A useful Footscray 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.
