Box Hill South property context
An occupied Box Hill South property may need preparation before outdoor timber repair can begin. Send wide and close photos of the timber item, its fixings, weathered edges and the surrounding access area. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. Provide dimensions, position and purpose for any new item.
