Keep stonework separate from a routine clean
A window-cleaning price covers the agreed glazing, not restoration of the surrounding masonry. If you also want a stone wall treated, show the joints and surface condition and ask the provider to explain the method and expected result. Compare like-for-like proposals after that assessment.
For your quoteShow the stone and joints; distinguish window cleaning from wall treatment.
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.
