a gate does not swing, latch or sit as intended. Prepare the accepted sound surface and apply the agreed compatible deck-coating system in its required stages.
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: weather exposure and ordinary surface deterioration or an aged coating, stain or finish that needs preparation before maintenance.
Surface failure and deteriorated timber need different responses. A compatible repaint can address an accepted coating task on sound boards. Soft, split or unsupported timber needs separate review, and a fresh film must not be presented as restoration of structural condition.
Show both intact and peeling areas. A new coat relies on suitable preparation and sound underlying material. Painting over loose film can leave the same weakness underneath, so the quote needs to distinguish ordinary preparation from extensive stripping or board repair.
Prepare the accepted sound surface and apply the agreed compatible deck-coating system in its required stages. Limits: Compatible film coatings on sound accessible timber only. No slip certification, hazardous stripping, structural repairs or waterproofing-system claims.
