a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered. Prepare and touch up the agreed small accessible exterior areas with compatible materials, keeping the repair boundaries clear.
Signs: the surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly or the existing finish shows ordinary wear that may suit bounded maintenance. Causes: incompatible or unknown prior finishes that need checking or normal use, weather exposure or aged coating.
The edge of the damaged paint may need suitable ordinary preparation before a touch-up. Show surrounding flaking and previous repairs. Hazardous-material disturbance and extensive stripping are excluded; the accepted area must be sound enough for the proposed local treatment.
Include nearby glass, paving, plants and fittings in the photographs. A small paint area can still need careful protection. Access to neighbouring property or removal of fixtures should never be assumed from the size of the mark.
prepare and touch up a suitable local area. apply a compatible finish to an agreed sound surface. Limits: Small accessible sound exterior spots only. No full exterior restoration, waterproofing, hazardous coating disturbance or specialist high-access work.
