The practical answer
Confirm who can authorise the inspection, treatment and any permanent work before booking on someone else’s property. A tenant, family member or caretaker may arrange access without having authority to approve every repair. Explain the arrangement to the provider.
Separate permission to enter from permission to change the building
A standard treatment approval may not cover drilling, opening walls or proofing. The quote should identify any work requiring an additional decision. Legal or payment responsibility should be resolved through the relevant owner, manager or current guidance rather than assumed by the booking caller.
What to do before the visit
- Identify the person approving the final quote.
- Provide a separate access contact if needed.
- Keep written approval matched to the work description.
Questions that define the work
- Who must approve changes to the original scope?
- What work may require a separate trade?
- Who receives the report, invoice and aftercare instructions?
What happens next?
Keep the completed-work record with the approval. If unexpected access or repairs are proposed, have the authorised person decide before work proceeds. Avoid informal assumptions that an earlier inspection approval also authorised later building changes.
