Information to send
Describe the rooms, affected surfaces, timing and previous repairs. Include photographs of the wider area as well as the visible stain and mention known leaks or changes around the building.
Ask about the investigation
Clarify whether a site assessment is included, what will be inspected and whether further testing may be needed. A quote should distinguish confirmed findings from assumptions.
Read the proposed scope
Look for the treatment method, quantities, access arrangements, protection and reinstatement. Check who repairs damaged plaster and decoration and what drying period may affect the programme.
Compare outcomes, not slogans
Two offers may address different causes or include different work. Ask how the result will be checked and what conditions apply to any written guarantee before accepting a proposal.
