Define what a complete redo includes

Describe whether the proposal covers an entire floor, roof deck, room or selected building elements. Provide the existing coating records, previous repair history and the reason for replacement. A complete redo can involve removal, substrate review, preparation, new application and handover; identify which stages belong in the quotation.

Resolve existing conditions before removal

Have the responsible project team identify the coating and assess any required material investigation before disturbing it. Set out occupied areas, protection needs, waste handling, access and sequencing in the project scope. Ask how substrate defects or unexpected conditions will be documented and priced if discovered.

Plan replacement and acceptance together

Compare proposals against the same removal boundaries and replacement specification. Include preparation, access, coordination with services, inspections, cleanup and records. Agree how the completed assembly will be reviewed and how future trades will be informed of the treated areas.

Questions about this service

When should I consider replacement rather than repair?

Ask for a condition review when damage is widespread, the cause remains unresolved or the renovation changes the required assembly. Compare documented options before selecting the scope.

Does a complete redo include removal?

Only if removal is expressly included. Require the proposal to identify removal limits, preparation, replacement application, waste handling and exclusions.

Can the existing coating be identified from a photo?

A photograph can help locate work but cannot confirm material identity. Provide records and arrange any necessary investigation before removal.

Can replacement be phased in an occupied building?

Discuss occupancy, work zones, access and scheduling with the project team and contractor. A site-specific plan is needed before confirming the sequence.

What should I send for a replacement enquiry?

Send the location, extent, reason for replacement, existing records, accessible photos and operational constraints. Use your city page to contact PSI about the next step.
