Planning the work
Follow any agreed finish care and report spreading rot, structural movement or water-entry concerns separately. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
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.
Review the timber condition, attachment points and the boundary between a focused repair and broader replacement. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Send wide and close photos of the timber item, its fixings, weathered edges and the surrounding access area. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
