Pentland Hills property context
An occupied Pentland Hills 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. For a Pentland Hills quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
