Written for the point where you are standing in the room with a decision to make and nobody impartial to ask.
These are the questions that come up on site once the sheets are down and the conversation gets practical. How long the room is out of use. Whether a wall wants patching or stripping back. What the render on the front of the house is going to ask of you in ten years' time.
Nothing here is written to talk you into a job. Where the honest answer is that a repair will do, or that the work belongs to a different trade entirely, the guide says so. Each one ends with a link to the service page if you would rather have it done than read about it.
