Three well-chosen photographs can explain the property better than a long description. Start with context, show the work area and then include the detail that prompted the project.
Photo 1: the wider setting
Show the house or property in relation to the proposed work. Include the way into the area where possible. For a patio, stand far enough back to show the doors and wall. For site work, show the footprint and equipment access.
Photo 2: the work area
Show the existing surface, structure or roof from an accessible position. A rough marked-up copy can show the proposed extension or route, but keep an unmarked view if a detail might be obscured.
Photo 3: the important detail
Photograph the damaged component, change in level, connection or other feature that needs discussion. Include a nearby reference for scale if practical. Stay on safe, accessible ground; you do not need to climb onto a roof to make an enquiry.
Add the information a photo cannot provide
- City or ZIP code and the intended work.
- Approximate dimensions if known.
- When the issue appeared and whether it is changing.
- Existing drawings, known services or selected products.
- Any access or scheduling constraints.
Send through the estimate form
The form accepts up to three JPG, PNG or WebP photos, no more than 5 MB each and 10 MB total. Photos support the initial review; measurements and concealed conditions may still need a site assessment. Avoid uploading sensitive documents or other people’s personal information.
