Preparation before the finish

Inspect failing coatings, open joints and water staining before planning decoration. Repairs to the underlying material may need a separate trade. Unpainted brick and decorative stone should not be treated as surfaces to paint by default.

Choosing the specification

The coating must suit the existing surface and exposure. Weather, drying conditions and access equipment affect the programme. For a listed building or conservation area, establish the property-specific requirements before agreeing any change.

Define the work in your quotation

The quotation should identify the surfaces, preparation, products, access and exclusions. Share photographs and the property address so that we can discuss the condition and arrange the next step.
