Practical timber repainting for Havant homes
External timber on Havant homes — fascias, soffits, bargeboards, front doors, garage doors — sits in the worst weather zone of any painted surface, and it fails first. A repaint cycle every 5–8 years is normal.
Track record with this brief
- Comfortable in modern acrylic-alkyd trade systems
