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: the surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly or a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered. Causes: incompatible or unknown prior finishes that need checking or normal use, weather exposure or aged coating.
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.
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.
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.
