Where existing paint, coatings, waterproofing, tiles, roofing materials or other surfaces are retained, MP Projects Group cannot guarantee the condition of the underlying surface where it cannot reasonably be inspected.
7. Roofing & Waterproofing
Roofing and waterproofing work is dependent on the existing condition and construction of the property.
MP Projects Group will take reasonable measures to prepare and waterproof the specified areas. However, waterproofing performance may be affected by:

- Existing leaks or hidden damage

Additional repairs required as a result of these conditions will be quoted separately.
8. Liquid Rubber & Coating Applications
Where liquid rubber, waterproofing or protective coatings are applied, the surface must be suitably prepared.
Preparation may include cleaning, pressure washing, removal of loose material, removal of loose coatings where specified, treatment of rust, sealing of cracks and joints, application of bonding/primer products and application of the specified coating system.
The final result may be affected by the condition of the existing surface and materials underneath the coating.
9. Painting & Revamping
Painting and coating prices are based on the agreed scope of preparation and application.
Additional preparation may be required due to:
- Peeling paint
- Dampness
- Cracks
- Damaged surfaces

- Other defects
MP Projects Group cannot guarantee that existing stains, marks, damp damage or structural cracks will not reappear where the underlying cause has not been repaired.

The client is responsible for informing MP Projects Group of any known defects, previous repairs, leaks, structural problems or other relevant conditions before work begins.
The client must ensure that valuable, fragile or personal items are removed from or adequately protected within the work area.
12. Weather Conditions
Certain work, particularly roofing, waterproofing, painting and coating applications, is dependent on suitable weather conditions.
