Helper for the lift
Two people for weight or access.
Hi Alex — just a heads-up: I’m bringing a helper tomorrow for the heavy lift. Same price as quoted. His name is Sam — he’ll be with me the whole visit.
Bringing a Helper / Second Tech
Need a bringing a helper text? Someone else is coming with you — apprentice, second tech, or mover. Tell them before the day so a stranger at the door isn’t a surprise. A short second person on site message covers who, why, and whether the quote changes.
Swap Alex for their name. Use the helper’s first name if the client will see it on the doorbell.
When to use this
- You’ll arrive with another person who isn’t on the usual visits.
- Heavy lift, two-person job, training day, or safety rule.
- Not Extra person in tutoring — that’s a student joining the session.
- Say if the price stays the same so they don’t assume a bigger bill.
Second tech, same quote
Speed or skill, not a surprise fee.
Hi — I’ll have a second tech with me on Thursday so we can finish in one visit. Your quote doesn’t change. Reply if you’d rather I come alone another day.
Apprentice / trainee
They’re learning; you’re still responsible.
Hi Jordan — I’ll have an apprentice with me on this visit. I’ll do the work; they’re observing and helping with setup. Same rate. Let me know if that’s not okay.
Ask permission first
Building rules or cautious clients.
Quick question before tomorrow: is it okay if I bring one helper? We need two people for the stairs. Happy to reschedule if you’d rather keep it just me.
