We are seeking an experienced, appropriately licensed carpenter or deck and balustrade specialist to inspect and repair the existing painted timber balustrading on an elevated rear deck. A recent building inspection identified deteriorating balustrade fixings and raised concerns regarding the safety and structural integrity of the balustrade. **Scope of works:** - Inspect the full length of the existing timber balustrade, including handrails, vertical balusters, posts and all structural connections. - Assess areas of timber deterioration, splitting, rot and loose or compromised joints. - Replace damaged or deteriorated timber components and defective fixings as required. - Ensure the balustrade is securely fixed, structurally sound and meets applicable safety and building requirements. - Retain the existing balustrade design and appearance where practical. - Prepare, prime and paint repaired or replaced sections to match the existing pale green finish. **Quotation requested:** Please provide an itemised quotation outlining the recommended repairs, any components requiring replacement, estimated timeframe and whether additional structural engineering assessment is necessary. The priority is to ensure the balustrade is safe and structurally sound while retaining its existing character and appearance wherever possible. Photos and the relevant building inspection report can be provided.
