Exterior Timber Painting
complete accessible ordinary exterior timber doors, frames and trim components
Common situations
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.
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.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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.
