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 surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly. Causes: surface damage that needs preparation before finishing or normal use, weather exposure or aged coating.
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.
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.
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.
