a finish looks damaged and needs preparation before painting. Prepare and repair an agreed suitable stable surface crack for the next agreed paint or finishing stage.
Signs: a stable local hole, dent, crack, patch edge or surface mark is visible or a local area needs a bounded cosmetic repair rather than an assumed structural diagnosis. Causes: minor finish movement at a suitable stable surface or ordinary impact damage or local surface wear.
Cracks at openings and joins can need a different assessment from a shallow surface line. For wall crack repair, this detail is reviewed before work is accepted so the agreed task stays practical and proportionate. No structural diagnosis, subsidence assessment, active moisture repair, hazardous materials or engineering work.
Staining, dampness or soft material changes the suitability of a simple patch. For wall crack repair, this detail is reviewed before work is accepted so the agreed task stays practical and proportionate. No structural diagnosis, subsidence assessment, active moisture repair, hazardous materials or engineering work.
Monitor the area after repair and report recurrence, widening, moisture or movement rather than repeatedly covering the symptom. Limits: Minor stable cosmetic surface cracks only. No structural diagnosis, subsidence assessment, active moisture repair, hazardous materials or engineering work.
