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.
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.
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.
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.
