Preparation of Surfaces

The preparation of surfaces is by far the most important part of any decorating project and indeed, the most time consuming part of the work. A poorly prepared surface will severely effect the finished work dramatically. For this reason, we take a lot of time and care on this part of the work and it's not uncommon for 75% of the whole decorating project being taken up by all the preparation work.

All woodwork is thoroughly sanded down and filled accordingly in order to provide the smoothest surface and best quality finish with paints and varnishes. Walls and ceilings are sanded to remove any blemishes, cracks in corners and on top of skirting boards are filled with decorators caulk and old wallpaper is removed ready for installation of new wallpaper.

Emulsion Painting

Walls and ceilings will have emulsion applied by brush and roller. Johnstone's paint is the preferred choice of brand but of course, our painters will apply whatever brand you would rather have on your surfaces.

Gloss Work / Eggshell

A great deal of time and effort is put into our gloss work to ensure that the best possible finish is achieved. Any holes in wood will be filled, old paint scraped off if necessary and sanded down to remove any blemishes ensuring a smooth top finish.

Wallpapering

Old wallpaper will be removed accordingly and the walls and ceilings prepared for the new wallpaper. Care will be taken to ensure that a patterned paper is matched up perfectly* and that no bubbles are left behind the paper. The correct tools are used to gaurantee a straight line everytime so no finished papered wall is left lopsided!

*Please note we can only work to the condition of the wall. If a wall is out by a considerable amount then the pattern will not match up in certain areas. The customer will be advised of this after we have examined the job for the quote so that you have enough warning to take action, be it replastering your walls or selecting an alternative wallpaper.

Furniture

Chest of drawers, chairs, tables, anything wooden! We can sand down and then varnish, stain or paint to breath a bit more life back into your tired looking household furniture.

Flooring

Use of specialist flooring paint to cover concrete floors, wooden floors and so on. Wooden floors will be sanded and either stained with a protective wood stain or varnished to bring the original colour of the wood shining through.
