Confirm the scope

Walk through the rooms together and identify the surfaces included. Explain any known leaks, cracks or previous repairs. Ask your contractor which preparation tasks are appropriate for you to do.

Make space to work

Agree which furniture needs to move, how floors will be protected and where tools and materials can be stored. Clear an access route and discuss water and power requirements.

Plan around the work

Confirm working hours, access arrangements and when rooms will be unavailable. Discuss how children and pets will be kept away from the work area.

Ask about the next steps

Before work finishes, ask for material-specific drying, ventilation and decorating instructions. Agree who removes waste and how any follow-up concerns should be raised.
