Exterior woodwork repainting in Gosport
The trick with exterior woodwork in Gosport is honest preparation. Failing paint has to come off, resin repairs need time to cure, and primer has to bite before topcoat goes on. Short-cutting any step reduces the cycle from 7 years to 2.
Local context behind the brief
Coastal Edwardian and inter-war stock in Alverstoke and Lee, naval housing around Rowner, and exposed seafront frontages along Marine Parade.
Audience: Homeowners with painted-timber fascias, bargeboards, doors and windows on a weather cycle.
