Planning the work

Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Review the individual component, visible timber condition and access before distinguishing a minor repair from structural or roofing work. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Monitor exposed timber and report movement, water-entry issues or major deterioration rather than extending a minor repair. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.

For a Docklands 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.
