Hotels and holiday rentals · The date that rules
The reopening
The whole job has to fit a window that is already in the booking calendar. The schedule does not stretch to fit the work — the work is split until it fits the schedule.
The calendar, counting backwards
The reopening
05
Ordering materials
Done long before the season closes. In a short window, one lead time eats the whole job.
04
The last checkout
The day the space comes free. It is the earliest you can start, and therefore what decides whether the window is enough.
03
The job, by wing or by floor
Split so the house can open one part while the other is still closed, if the window is not long enough for all of it.
02
Cleaning and restocking
A full day has to fit between the finished job and the first guest. A finished room is not a ready room.
01
The first booking
The date that does not move. A booking already taken cannot be pushed without costing more than the job.
What is at stake
The whole job has to fit between the last checkout of one season and the first booking of the next.
How the job is organised
The work is split by floor or by wing, so one part can open while the other is still a building site.
Request a quoteWhat we ask before giving a price
- Between which dates does the space come free?
- How many rooms or units, and across how many floors?
- Will the house be closed, or still taking guests during the work?
- Are there bookings already taken for after the reopening?
What usually goes wrong in this kind of job
Starting on the day the season closes
Materials are ordered before, not after. Waiting for the season to end before deciding loses the first weeks of the window to waiting on boxes.
Doing everything at once in a short window
Better to open half the house on time than the whole house two weeks late.
Booking the reopening for cleaning day
Between the work and the guest there has to be room for cleaning, restocking the linen, and a walk-through by whoever will be receiving.
