Service overview
a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered. Agree the trim sections, protect adjoining surfaces and prepare and recoat suitable interior material with a compatible finish.
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.
Low trim is easily knocked by cleaning equipment and furniture. Allow the product-specific drying and curing stages before normal contact. Exact readiness depends on the coating and conditions, so no universal same-day cleaning promise should be assumed.
Carpet, hard flooring and adjacent walls need appropriate protection while low trim is prepared. Explain whether furniture can be moved away from the edges. Tight access may require more preparation than the visible length of skirting initially suggests.
The agreed service covers small interior trim preparation and recoating after substrate suitability review. Exclusions: Structural timber repair, hazardous coating removal, external window restoration, large renovation repaint.
