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.

Send wide photos of the pergola, the affected component, supports, roof cover if present and safe access conditions. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
