Separate the different finishes on your home
Brick, render, cladding, tile-hanging and timber are not interchangeable surfaces. Mark the sections you want cleaned on a wide photograph and add close-ups. Ask the provider to name the work on each finish, including anything excluded from the price.

Measure paving instead of using house size
For a patio, path or driveway, give approximate length and width and identify the paving material. Show steps, drainage and access. Compare whether treatment of stains, removal of waste and re-sanding or sealing are included where appropriate; they can make apparently similar prices cover different jobs.
