Prepare a useful repair brief · Pith
Preparing access for a masonry assessment
The assessor needs to see the area and understand how work could reach it. Preparation should improve safe access without disturbing the damaged wall.
Clear only what is safe to move
Move ordinary portable items away from the approach where practical. Keep pets away and identify any gate or access arrangements. Tell the assessor about loose material, difficult ground or overhead restrictions before the visit.
Define the next step
Do not climb, dismantle or probe masonry to prepare the area. Explain any inaccessible sections so the visit can be planned appropriately.
