Forest Hill property context
Forest Hill sits within the existing Eastern Melbourne coverage. For outdoor timber repair, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Review the timber condition, attachment points and the boundary between a focused repair and broader replacement. Show holes, marks and surrounding surfaces, then include known paint details. This makes it clear where patching or repair must happen before the finish is considered.
