exterior timber painting can be appropriate when the surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly. Check sound timber, exposure and coating compatibility before agreeing complete-component preparation and painting.
Signs: the existing finish shows ordinary wear that may suit bounded maintenance or the surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly. Causes: normal use, weather exposure or aged coating or incompatible or unknown prior finishes that need checking.
Show sheltered and exposed faces and provide any timber or product information. The coating needs to suit exterior use and the actual component. Ordinary painting does not provide waterproofing-system repairs or a guarantee against deterioration caused by an unresolved building issue.
Photograph glass, seals and mechanical fittings near the timber. Ordinary protection and careful application are different from removing glazing or modifying hardware systems. Specialist glass work and electrical security integration are excluded from the painting scope.
Allow the required cure before closing painted contact surfaces or cleaning. Follow the selected system’s ongoing maintenance instructions. Limits: Complete ordinary accessible sound timber components only. No glazing work, structural rot reconstruction, hazardous stripping, waterproofing or high-access specialist work.
