Preparation

Previously Painted Timber - Remove all previous coatings, chipping off any loose or defective paint. Strip back to bare wood if necessary, be mindful that older surfaces may contain lead, so be careful to take the necessary precautions. 

Old Timber - Use a suitable mould and algae cleaner to remove all cases of mould, algae, moss or mildew. Remove previous glazing and repair or replace any rotted wood, the surface needs to be as clean and sound as possible. Lastly, rub down and sand the surface, removing any traces of sanding dust and weathered wood. If the wood is still discoloured due to sun damage, opt for a wood reviver or restorer before applying a stain.

New Timber - Before painting prime the bare wood with two coats of a suitable basecoat, remove any excess with a lint free cloth as you go. Fill any holes, dents or defects with an exterior wood filler.
