Signs: a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered or the existing finish shows ordinary wear that may suit bounded maintenance. Causes: surface damage that needs preparation before finishing or incompatible or unknown prior finishes that need checking.
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.
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.
