a finish looks damaged and needs preparation before painting. Prepare the accepted small patch, provide suitable ordinary edge support and finish the joints in the required drying stages.
Signs: a finish looks damaged and needs preparation before painting or a stable local hole, dent, crack, patch edge or surface mark is visible. Causes: minor finish movement at a suitable stable surface or a previous patch or coating that needs preparation.
The repair needs a compatible material and finish. Provide any known product information without disturbing an unknown ceiling to identify it. Suspected asbestos or other hazardous material is outside this service and should be assessed appropriately before any surface preparation.
The junction between new and existing material affects the visible result. Suitable finishing stages are needed around the patch rather than simply filling the centre. Existing texture, previous repairs and side lighting can limit how closely the area blends before decoration.
Prepare the accepted small patch, provide suitable ordinary edge support and finish the joints in the required drying stages. Limits: Minor dry stable accessible non-structural patches only. No sagging ceilings, active leaks, structural diagnosis, framing repairs, asbestos or hazardous materials.
