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: 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.
A touch-up can differ in sheen, texture or colour from aged paint. Agree whether a visible local finish is acceptable before proceeding. Repainting a complete component may be a better separate option, but it must not be silently added to the spot-work quote.
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 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.
