Carpentry

Much of the carpentry is in good condition. There are localised elements that require repair. Generally these appear to be aesthetic and not of a structural nature. The timber elements generally consist of windows, floors, doors, jambs, architraves, skirtings, verandah flaming and flooring, roof trusses and framing.

SPECIFIC POLICY 3: Repairs of timber work should be undertaken by splicing or scarfing in new sections of timber to retain as much original fabric as possible. The use of suitable fillers may be acceptable in lieu of replacing, splicing or scarfing, particularly where minor repairs may be required.

​

SPECIFIC POLICY 4: Continue to paint all timber using oil or alkyd paints. Avoid the use of epoxy or acrylic paints for timber work. These are not traditional paint systems for timber products.

SPECIFIC ACTION 3: Through regular monitoring, continue to prepare and paint all painted timberwork on a regular cycle of 7–10 years.
