Same color to be used as on walls biscuit color. Around doors and windows 10cm sq. boarder with same color which is charcoal. Only front section of the roof require painting. The use of durable exterior paint must be used. The white nova board under the over hanging roof beneath must also be repainted and where required if the wood has deteriorated be replaced.
All walls in the house need to be painted. There are old water damage marks at the bottom of 2 of the walls. It needs to be sanded down before repainting. The walls are not "wet" anymore, so the leak or source of water was repaired previously. All nails also need to be taken out and holes filled before repainting.
We need to do torch on as in flashing where the horizontal steel roof meets the verticle steel structure using 1metre wide torch on membrane.It has to be installed 40cm on the vertical side and bending it at 90degrees so that it covers 60cm horizontally. So it's 40cm verticle and 60cm horizontally without joining it horizontally where the verticle meets the horizontal, however the membrane might be joined vertically if need be.The distance is 50metres of flashing that needs to be done.( 50m by 1m ).the entire roof is fine . We just need to do flashing using torch on or any rubberising waterproofing that would give better results but NO liquid waterproofing. Kind tegards
I received this email from my body corp: Further to our recent inspection of the balcony at unit 4, our findings are that the area needs to be waterproofed so as to prevent water ingress which is dripping below and into the covered parking area. Please can you provide me with an estimate of the cost?
The church floor needs to be re-painted as the paint has peeled off due to rainwater. The area that requires painting is square meters. We'll be using stoep paint in the color red oxide. Before we start painting, the surface preparation will involve removing any loose or peeling paint and cleaning the surface to remove any dirt or debris. Once the surface is clean, it must be completely dry before we begin painting.

Email me please. I am preparing our Body Corporate's Ten-Year Maintenance Schedule, so I need to get an idea of the cost of painting the units. We are not ready for the actual work at this stage. It would help to get the price for one of each type of unit, as our budget won't stretch to doing all the units at once. We need to repaint the one-storey units in our Complex - 15 two-bedroom and 7 three-bedroom. They will have to be painted in relays as we don't have the budget to paint them all at once.
Our apartment complex recently did apartment-wide dye testing and for our unit the company who did the dye testing reported a leak under the sliding door of the balcony. They then also provided a quote for the repairs and I was hoping to get some competing quotes as well. The sliding door is just a standard size and I estimate the balcony is about 4 by 5m is size.
