Fix Nik reviews suitable work involving complete accessible ordinary exterior timber doors, frames and trim components and confirms the scope before scheduling.
Exterior Timber Painting
complete accessible ordinary exterior timber doors, frames and trim components
Common situations
Identify the whole door, frame or trim section to be coated, including any edges and returns you want finished. A complete timber component can need more preparation than an isolated paint spot. The quote should identify exactly where the new finish starts and stops.
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.
Old paint condition and product history affect preparation. Show flaking, glossy and bare sections together. Hazardous coatings and extensive specialist stripping are excluded; a compatible system should be selected only after the accepted sound substrate is understood.
Service overview
A painted door or window component still needs suitable movement and contact clearances. Excess paint build-up can affect operation. Agree which accessible faces can be coated and how they will remain separated while drying, without treating painting as a substitute for alignment repair.
The selected finish needs its specified time before painted surfaces are pressed together or cleaned. Discuss how the opening will be used during that period. Application completion alone should not be taken as permission for immediate full contact or normal washing.
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.
Prepare and paint the accepted accessible timber component with a compatible exterior system, protecting adjacent surfaces and operating clearances. Scope limits: Complete ordinary accessible sound timber components only. No glazing work, structural rot reconstruction, hazardous stripping, waterproofing or high-access specialist work.

FAQ
Prepare and paint the accepted accessible timber component with a compatible exterior system, protecting adjacent surfaces and operating clearances. Timing depends on the actual condition, access, quantities and required stages. Any parts or drying requirements are considered when scheduling; a fixed completion time cannot be promised from the service name alone.
Preparation and application need conditions allowed by the selected products. Rain and temperature can affect when the component is ready. The schedule should allow those stages without assuming exterior work can proceed continuously through unsuitable weather.
Check sound timber, exposure and coating compatibility before agreeing complete-component preparation and painting. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
