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: 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 incompatible or unknown prior finishes that need checking.
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.
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. Limits: Complete ordinary accessible sound timber components only. No glazing work, structural rot reconstruction, hazardous stripping, waterproofing or high-access specialist work.
