a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered. Protect the agreed room, prepare accepted sound surfaces and repaint complete wall areas in a planned sequence with defined trim boundaries.
Signs: the existing finish shows ordinary wear that may suit bounded maintenance 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.
Window edges, ceilings and fixed fittings create detail work beyond rolling open walls. Show these boundaries in the room photographs. Painting around a fitting does not include electrical disconnection, plumbing changes or removal of specialist equipment.
Doors, skirting and architraves are separate surfaces with their own preparation. List them if required. Plaster repairs and unresolved damp or hazardous materials are not automatically included in a whole-room repaint, and accepted minor preparation should be clearly distinguished from those tasks.
Ventilate and allow the selected finish to dry before replacing furniture against walls. Follow product guidance for cleaning and ordinary use. Limits: Ordinary sound interior surfaces only. No specialist wet-area systems, damp remediation, asbestos, structural repair or electrical and plumbing work.
