This informational guide helps you prepare an enquiry. The accepted quotation defines the work.
Confirm access and the point of contact
Provide the exact address, emirate and an access contact. Explain parking, gate entry, lifts, keys and any building or community rules that affect arrival. Check who is responsible for obtaining required permissions. A preferred date is not a confirmed appointment until the team agrees it.
Describe occupied rooms, restricted areas and any other people working at the property. Ask what water, electricity or other arrangements are required for the proposed work instead of assuming the team can operate without them. Keep access credentials out of public messages or shared worksheets.
Prepare belongings without creating another risk
- Secure valuables and private documents; explain which surfaces and items must not be handled.
- Identify personal belongings or stock that block the requested areas and agree who clears them.
- Explain heavy furniture or appliances that restrict access; do not assume moving them is included.
- Agree how household members and pets will be kept separate from the work area where needed.
- Point out damaged fittings, unstable items or concerns requiring review before work starts.
Share care information and known limitations
Send useful photographs, care labels or product information for delicate finishes and furnishings. Explain known damage, repairs and previous treatments. These details help define what needs assessment; they do not establish that every material can be treated.
Follow the specific preparation instructions agreed for your service. Do not apply an unconfirmed product, remove a fitted component or dismantle furniture simply to get ready. Ask for clarification where instructions or handling responsibilities are unclear.
Coordinate other work and the final review
Tell the team about planned repairs, drilling, painting or deliveries. If a contractor still controls an area, confirm who can release it for the requested visit. Product curing times and access constraints belong in the plan; there is no universal waiting period that suits every property.
Before the visit, keep a copy of the agreed task list and exceptions. Identify who will review the completed work and how questions will be raised. Ask for item-specific use or drying guidance where relevant rather than assuming the whole property will be ready at a fixed time.

Questions Before You Arrange the Work
Should I move heavy furniture before cleaners arrive?
Confirm responsibility and safe access first. Do not assume heavy-item movement is included or attempt a move solely because an area is on your requested list.
Does preparation mean cleaning the property myself first?
No. The aim is to arrange access, belongings and information for the agreed work. Ask which preparation tasks are actually needed for your service.
Can the work proceed while repairs or deliveries continue?
Explain the remaining activities before booking. Access, sequencing and any phased work must be reviewed; they are not automatically included.
