exterior timber painting can be appropriate when the surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly. Check sound timber, exposure and coating compatibility before agreeing complete-component preparation and painting.
Signs: the existing finish shows ordinary wear that may suit bounded maintenance or the surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly. Causes: incompatible or unknown prior finishes that need checking or surface damage that needs preparation before finishing.
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.
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 touch up a suitable local area. apply a compatible finish to an agreed sound surface. Limits: Complete ordinary accessible sound timber components only. No glazing work, structural rot reconstruction, hazardous stripping, waterproofing or high-access specialist work.
