Stains and damp before decorating
Establish why a mark is there before deciding how to cover it.
Discuss your projectSeparate cause from appearance
A stain can remain after a problem has been resolved, but recurring damp needs investigation. Record when the mark appeared and whether its size or appearance changes.
Confirm readiness
Repairs and drying may need to precede decoration. The surface should be assessed for the proposed coating; a stain-blocking product does not repair an active moisture source.
Define the decorating work
Keep investigation, remedial repairs and finishing distinct in the quote. Agree what preparation is included and what would require a separate instruction.
