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: a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered or the existing finish shows ordinary wear that may suit bounded maintenance. Causes: incompatible or unknown prior finishes that need checking or normal use, weather exposure or aged coating.
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.
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.
Prepare and paint the accepted accessible timber component with a compatible exterior system, protecting adjacent surfaces and operating clearances. Limits: Complete ordinary accessible sound timber components only. No glazing work, structural rot reconstruction, hazardous stripping, waterproofing or high-access specialist work.
