Common situations

Planning the work
Prepare and sand accepted sound boards with appropriate abrasive stages and dust control, within the agreed accessible area. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Review board condition, remaining thickness and coating suitability before agreeing a sanding method and the next finish. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
