Some important tips about paint preparation

Filling and sanding takes time and the
right products. Grime and dust may
not be obvious but surfaces almost
always need cleaning.
Blistering, flaking, and peeling of paint
on wooden surfaces is usually caused

by moisture under the paint. Painting over

stains (for example, caused by water)

can involve special steps, as can

painting surfaces previously treated

with stains and oils.

Water problems need proper fixing

before you paint, and often another

tradesman will need to do this for you.

They are often a sign of a greater

problem and your painter will rely on

you if you say the problem is fixed. If

it's not, and the paint job then fails,

your ability to complain will be limited.

If inside, the problem may be

condensation. Painting in wet areas

requires special steps to be taken.

Don’t skimp on costs if it means

skimping on preparation. The

the cheapest quote may well be because

there is less preparation.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
