Bentleigh property context
An occupied Bentleigh property may need preparation before pergola repair can begin. Send wide photos of the pergola, the affected component, supports, roof cover if present and safe access conditions. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. For plaster and painting work, show the size and position of the damage and mention any paint, colour code or finish already on site. Existing materials are useful, but the repair still needs to be assessed for preparation and colour compatibility.
