Exterior Timber Painting
complete accessible ordinary exterior timber doors, frames and trim components
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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.
Harkness property context
An occupied Harkness property may need preparation before exterior timber painting can begin. Show the full timber component, edges, existing coating and access, with dimensions and any known product history. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A useful Harkness enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Planning the work
Check sound timber, exposure and coating compatibility before agreeing complete-component preparation and painting. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Allow the required cure before closing painted contact surfaces or cleaning. Follow the selected system’s ongoing maintenance instructions. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Prepare and paint the accepted accessible timber component with a compatible exterior system, protecting adjacent surfaces and operating clearances. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Common situations
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.
Exposed edges and ordinary joints need an agreed preparation boundary. Painting cannot reconstruct rotten timber or correct structural movement. If deterioration appears during preparation, discuss suitable separate work before applying a finish that could conceal the condition.
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.
