Terms & Conditions
Masonry paint removal
The surface to requiring attention
will be thoroughly stripped but with heavy paint or graffiti
some traces may be left behind.
Most masonry materials are porous
and when the top layer of paint is removed you may be left with
a "ghost". This can not always be removed. It is not
Immaculate Exterior's claim to be able to leave the surface
as it was before contamination (i.e. when new).
When using chemicals, nearby
surfaces where run-off or splashing has accrued may be discoloured
or stained. Whilst care will be taken to minimise splashing,
run-off and surface texture damage Immaculate Exteriors shall
not be responsible for any redecoration, disturbance, staining
or texture damage.
Any damage caused by moisture
or chemicals entering the property, building or equipment is
the customer's responsibility and not that of Immaculate Exteriors.
Responsibility for any reinstatement
or redecoration as a result of the paint removal carried out
by Immaculate Exteriors is the customer's, as is the identification
of any electrical points, equipment and any other goods &
fittings etc. The customer is responsible for their protection
and repair if required.
The customer can ask to see a
copy of chemical data sheets at anytime.
Care will be taken not to damage
nearby plants. We will rinse contaminated plants but no guarantee
is given that some plants will not react.
It is the customer's responsibility
to inform properties next door or nearby, fellow workers and
the public that the work is being carried out and to maintain
safely any public rights of way during any work. It is the customer's
responsibility to take adequate measures to safeguard other
people, their property, vehicles etc.
The quotation is general. Chemicals
and other consumables can vary, should any unforeseen costs
arise Immaculate Exteriors reserves the right to amend the costs
accordingly.
High winds, very heavy rain and
frost can prevent work. Once the temperature falls below 50C
or a frost is forecast for that night then work will be stopped.
Extra cost of any hire equipment
due to any delay in the work caused by bad weather, or caused
by the customer, must be covered by the customer.
A test area that is not highly visible, but which is representative
of typical conditions can be done first. Visual observation
and spot tests with various solvents can be used to help identify
the best method of paint removal.
Sample areas that represent the
desired result are to be approved by the client before the whole
area is cleaned and the accepted sample area preserved for reference
until the end of the job. This existence of a sample for comparison
and an agreement can avoid unpleasant surprises and misunderstandings.
The test areas will be done for
a quoted price based on; time, travelling and materials used.
Once a test area is approved
care will be taken to achieve the same standard as the test
area, but one must keep in mind that substrate finish and quality
can vary. Areas may be found that have hidden problems such
as more layers of paint under what is initially visible.
If at anytime it is found that
the desired result that was approved, (i.e. the test area) cannot
be matched, then the client and Immaculate Exteriors must decide
whether to continue or to stop work. If it is decided to stop
work the client will pay for the area of cleaning done to date,
(proportion of total area of quotation.) If however a different
method can be established and approved work may continue, an
adjustment to the quote may be necessary.
A deposit of between 10% &
50% may be required before work can start.
Full payment is due once work is completed.
