Ashwood property context
Planning outdoor timber repair in Ashwood starts with the actual item and its setting. Send wide and close photos of the timber item, its fixings, weathered edges and the surrounding access area. The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. Loose handles, damaged plaster and sticking doors can sit beside improvement work on the same request. Number each fault and keep its photos separate from product images for new items.
