a gate does not swing, latch or sit as intended. Prepare and sand accepted sound boards with appropriate abrasive stages and dust control, within the agreed accessible area.
Signs: outdoor timber looks weathered and needs a focused maintenance or repair decision or a gate does not swing, latch or sit as intended. Causes: an aged coating, stain or finish that needs preparation before maintenance or loose compatible fixings or local timber wear.
Discuss nearby doors, plants and occupied spaces before sanding. Appropriate containment and collection depend on the site and accepted material. This ordinary preparation service does not include hazardous dust remediation or work on a coating whose safety has not been established.
The final preparation should suit the selected oil or compatible coating. Decide that finish before the sanding scope is confirmed. Sanding, oiling and deck painting are separate tasks; list the required stages so exposed prepared timber has an agreed follow-on plan.
Protect prepared timber and arrange the compatible next finish. Sanding alone is not a completed weather-protection treatment. Limits: Sound ordinary accessible boards only. No structural restoration, rot concealment, hazardous coating removal, asbestos or specialist dust remediation.
