Surface Preparation

A sound, clean and suitably prepared surface is important for finishing work. AMB undertakes practical preparation of appropriate existing surfaces, with the material, condition and intended finish checked before the work is agreed.

What this can include

• Clean and prepare suitable surfaces for the agreed finishing task.
• Patch minor localised defects where a sound repair is appropriate.
• Discuss sanding, filling and finishing requirements within the permitted scope.

Before we quote

Provide photos of the surface and details of any proposed coating or finish. Tell us about moisture, loose material, past repairs and the age of existing coatings where known. Some surfaces need assessment before preparation can begin.

Scope & limitations

Asbestos, suspected hazardous coatings, structural defects and specialist remediation are excluded. Preparation does not remedy an unresolved leak, moving substrate or other underlying problem.

Common questions

Can preparation start over a damp surface?

The cause and condition need to be understood first. Covering an unresolved moisture problem is not an appropriate repair.

Is the final coating included?

Preparation and final finishing are defined in the quote. Only the agreed materials and tasks are included.
