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: the surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly or the existing finish shows ordinary wear that may suit bounded maintenance. Causes: surface damage that needs preparation before finishing or normal use, weather exposure or aged coating.
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.
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.
Allow the required cure before closing painted contact surfaces or cleaning. Follow the selected system’s ongoing maintenance instructions. Limits: Complete ordinary accessible sound timber components only. No glazing work, structural rot reconstruction, hazardous stripping, waterproofing or high-access specialist work.
