Why photos help trades quote more accurately

How good photos reduce guesswork and help trades price access, condition and materials.

Show the full area

Take at least one wide shot so the tradesperson can understand the space, access and surrounding surfaces.

Add close-ups

Close-ups help with leaks, cracks, damage, fittings, wiring points and material condition. Include a reference for scale where useful.

Include access and constraints

Photos of parking, ladders, gates, roofs, gardens or internal access can affect the quote. Better information means fewer surprises.
