The houses in Tenambit
The eaves beneath a roof overhang may be a different material from the boards supporting the gutter. Name both parts if they need attention, and include window frames or doors separately so the request does not leave their inclusion uncertain.
Our Tenambit painters can discuss that list once the materials and visible damage are clear. If an older sheet is cracked or broken, identify it before cleaning or paint removal is considered rather than expecting a new coat to make the damaged section suitable.

What we look at first in Tenambit
Material identification comes before preparation on an older exterior. A familiar painted appearance does not show what a sheet contains or which cleaning methods are suitable for it.
Postwar fibro
Fibro can be a source of asbestos, depending on the material. Do not sand, scrub, drill or pressure wash suspect sheeting; appropriate advice is needed before disturbing it or treating damaged sections as ordinary painting repairs.
Eaves
Show eave sheets from a safe ground position, including broken corners and areas with water staining. Leaks or deteriorated material need consideration first, and unsuitable sheets should not be assumed ready merely because their old paint has faded.
Brick veneer trims
On brick homes, painted window frames, fascia boards and doors can still need substantial preparation. List those items rather than simply asking for the exterior, especially if unpainted brick will stay untouched as part of the scheme.
Paint containing lead was used in many Australian houses before 1970. Where it is present, the federal government's Lead Alert guide sets out how to prepare it, with wet scraping and wet sanding in place of dry sanding.

Questions people ask painters in Tenambit
Our fibro has a broken sheet. Can it still be painted?
Have the damaged sheet assessed by an appropriate asbestos professional before including it in paint preparation. Other areas need their own material and condition checks; a repair to one sheet does not establish the safest approach for the whole exterior.
How do you clean fibro safely?
Cleaning must suit the identified material and its condition. Suspected asbestos should not be sanded, scrubbed or water blasted, and any proposed preparation should follow appropriate guidance instead of assuming a general exterior washing method is safe.
Can the whole exterior be done in one visit?
Discuss the full list with our painters in Tenambit, including repairs and access to high sections. The number of visits depends on preparation, drying and suitable conditions, so completion in one visit should not be assumed before the work has been assessed.
