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 surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly or the existing finish shows ordinary wear that may suit bounded maintenance. Causes: surface damage that needs preparation before finishing or incompatible or unknown prior finishes that need checking.
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 touch up a suitable local area. apply a compatible finish to an agreed sound surface. Limits: Complete ordinary accessible sound timber components only. No glazing work, structural rot reconstruction, hazardous stripping, waterproofing or high-access specialist work.
