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.
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.
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.
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.
