a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered. Prepare and paint the accepted accessible timber component with a compatible exterior system, protecting adjacent surfaces and operating clearances.
Signs: the existing finish shows ordinary wear that may suit bounded maintenance or a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered. Causes: surface damage that needs preparation before finishing or normal use, weather exposure or aged coating.
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.
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.
