Starting work when house is not weatherproof
Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 3.45 PM
Currently my property is not weatherproof. There have been delays in windows and doors and I anticipate everything to be weatherproof 4th April. We were originally planning to start work in a couple of weeks. I wondered if we could start with the mist coat + rubdown whilst we wait for the house to be weatherproof? Does it matter if there is a big delay between the mist coat and first coat, or would you recommend that the entire house is weatherproof before commencing any work?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Don't start painting untill the house is weatherproof and all the walls, ceilings and woodwork are fully dry.

I wouldn,t reccomend doing any work unless everything weathertight.
You could put a mist coat on but personally i would not do it.

Frustrating position to be in, sadly there are few shortcuts so best to wait till weathertight to allow for better drying conditions.
