Exterior Timber Painting
complete accessible ordinary exterior timber doors, frames and trim components
Strathmore property context
An occupied Strathmore property may need preparation before exterior timber painting can begin. Show the full timber component, edges, existing coating and access, with dimensions and any known product history. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. Strathmore sits near Oak Park, Essendon Fields, Essendon North and Pascoe Vale. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
Common situations
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.
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.
Planning the work
Allow the required cure before closing painted contact surfaces or cleaning. Follow the selected system’s ongoing maintenance instructions. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Check sound timber, exposure and coating compatibility before agreeing complete-component preparation and painting. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.

Service overview
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.
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.
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.
FAQ
Prepare and paint the accepted accessible timber component with a compatible exterior system, protecting adjacent surfaces and operating clearances. Timing depends on the actual condition, access, quantities and required stages. Any parts or drying requirements are considered when scheduling; a fixed completion time cannot be promised from the service name alone.
Old paint condition and product history affect preparation. Show flaking, glossy and bare sections together. Hazardous coatings and extensive specialist stripping are excluded; a compatible system should be selected only after the accepted sound substrate is understood.
Allow the required cure before closing painted contact surfaces or cleaning. Follow the selected system’s ongoing maintenance instructions. Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.
