Does an inspection automatically see behind every wall?
Accessible findings have limits. Discuss any further concealed investigation, authorisation and scope rather than assuming an initial visit establishes every hidden condition.
Should I remove a panel before calling?
Leave material undisturbed and explain restricted access. Appropriate assessment and authorised further access should be discussed first.
Does visible treatment clear every hidden layer?
That should not be assumed. Check the named areas, findings and limits, including whether further professional assessment is required.
Can I describe uncertain extent in the enquiry?
Yes. Explain what is visible and what is unknown, with safely accessible views. Say when the boundary is unclear rather than forcing access to measure it.
Is reinstatement included if opening is needed?
Clarify opening, replacement, repairs and decoration separately. Ask which tasks are agreed and who will carry out further property work.
What if findings change after more access is agreed?
Ask for suitable next steps and revised scope and amount. Additional tasks should not be assumed included in the original accessible-surface quotation.
