Cyclical redecoration may also extend to bin stores, garages, cycle sheds, fencing, railings, screens, gates and similar features located within boundaries, paths, drives, communal areas, staircases, access decks and balconies. Cyclical redecoration shall be deemed to include the cleaning, where specified, of external surfaces of components and products such as windows, doors, soffits, fascias, cladding and other similar elements encountered during the works. The works further include pre-decoration repairs, comprising the repair, maintenance, renewal, reinstatement or replacement of previously decorated elements and components where such works are required prior to cyclical redecoration. This includes the inspection, repair and adjustment of hinges, locking mechanisms, handles and security devices associated with UPVC windows and external or communal doors.
