Finding everyday services in Egypt (moving, repairs, cleaning, drivers, translation)
When someone comes to your home to work, agreeing the scope and the finished standard in advance prevents most disputes.
Before you hire
- Prefer providers recommended by people you know, or with a fixed shop or a company registration.
- Confirm the scope, completion time and acceptance standard in writing; chat messages are fine.
- For big jobs, pay in stages and keep the final payment until the work is accepted.
Safety at home
- Have someone else at home when a stranger comes to work.
- Put away valuables and documents first.
- Photograph belongings before a move to make damage claims easier.
Complaints
- Consumer disputes with a company can be taken to the Consumer Protection Agency.
- Keep messages, receipts and photos.
