Inspect before specifying
External decoration can involve timber, masonry, render and metal in a small area. Record each material and any loose coatings, failed joints or visible deterioration. Repairs and causes of moisture need consideration before a new coating is applied.
Plan the access
Describe the height of the work, nearby entrances and any pavement or neighbouring access involved. Agree the method and any required permissions before scheduling. Include protection for glazing, planting and surfaces below.
Allow for conditions
The chosen coating’s instructions set the application conditions and drying requirements. Weather may affect the programme. Confirm the colour, material system and any property-specific approvals before ordering.
