Show context and detail
Begin with one photograph that places the task in the room. Add a close view of the fault, surface or attachment and a label or model photograph when relevant. A close-up alone can hide obstructions; a wide view alone can hide the problem. Use ordinary lighting and a clear scale reference where it helps. Explain what the photograph cannot show.
Measure the limiting dimension
For assembly, measure ceiling clearance, doorways and the final footprint. For mounting, include the object dimensions and the desired location relative to surrounding items. For moving, measure the widest or longest item and the narrowest turn on the route. For cleaning, approximate room size helps, but surface condition and accessible areas are equally important.
Separate facts from assumptions
State whether a dimension is approximate, whether a wall type is known and whether a product is already on site. Do not remove electrical covers, open hazardous areas or drill exploratory holes to improve a photograph. If the relevant condition is concealed, say so. The provider can decide whether a site assessment or specialist input is required.
Keep private material out of the image
Move passports, medication labels, financial papers, photographs of people and access codes away from the camera where practical. Photograph the job rather than the household’s private information. Share access credentials only when arranging the actual visit. The public guides and search do not require personal photographs; any job evidence is sent directly through the chosen enquiry channel.
Retain a useful record
Keep the original enquiry photographs, written scope and any later change photographs together. At completion, take comparable views if you want a record of the result. Avoid judging a painted finish in a completely different light or comparing a moving item before and after it has been repacked. Good records support a clear discussion; they do not replace physical assessment.
