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: surface damage that needs preparation before finishing or normal use, weather exposure or aged coating.
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.
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.
Prepare and touch up the agreed small accessible exterior areas with compatible materials, keeping the repair boundaries clear. Limits: Small accessible sound exterior spots only. No full exterior restoration, waterproofing, hazardous coating disturbance or specialist high-access work.
