On the south coast, exterior decorating is always weather-dependent, and a lost day is planned for rather than treated as a crisis. What matters is how the crew's time is used when the weather turns and how the programme recovers once it clears.
Temperature, humidity and forecast rain are checked before coating goes on, because applying a coating in the wrong conditions produces a defect that costs far more time to correct than the delay of simply waiting.
Where possible, the crew moves to internal work or preparation tasks that do not depend on weather, so a rained-off exterior day does not automatically mean an unproductive one.
A run of poor weather is reflected honestly in an updated programme rather than pretending the original date still holds. We tell the client as soon as a delay is likely to affect the finish date, rather than at the point it becomes obvious on site.
No — coating in unsuitable conditions produces a defect that costs more time to fix than waiting for the weather to clear.
Where there is internal or weather-independent preparation work available, we move to that rather than losing the day entirely.
Yes, we flag it as soon as it looks likely rather than waiting until the original date has clearly been missed.
Ask us how your exterior programme allows for weather contingency before work is scheduled.
Weather delays are planned for honestly, with crew time redirected and the programme updated as soon as a delay is likely.
