Somerton property context
Somerton sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For patch and paint, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Review the stable repair area, paint condition and available colour information before treating patching and painting as one bounded task. A useful Somerton enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.

Send photos of the damage, surrounding wall, existing paint information and the room lighting where the finish will be seen. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
