01 · Services
Every surface needs its own preparation.
Interiors and exteriors are separate jobs: one is booked by homeowners, the other by managing agents, and the questions differ.
Houses and blocks
A scope summary for residents and agents, an access plan and a seasonal schedule.
- Scope summary for meetings
- Scaffolding and weather plan
Texture and feature walls
For a feature wall, texture or effect, we first prepare a small sample board.
- Approval on a sample board
- Work alongside architects and designers
Doors, frames and skirting
Sanded, primed and refreshed with a satin or matt finish.
- Hinges and handles protected
- Low odour product option
02 · Colour advice
One colour, three lights, three different walls.
Your shade from the colour room, shown in three kinds of light. That is why we decide on your wall, not on a screen.

05 · Questions
What people ask before we start.
Can we stay at home while you paint?
In most jobs, yes. We paint rooms in sequence, finish the bedroom first and leave it usable every evening. Tell us about small children or breathing sensitivities and we plan with water based, low odour paint.
We cannot choose a colour. Can you help?
Yes, colour advice is part of the visit. We bring the chart, look at the light in your rooms and paint your favourites as sample patches. A screen never shows the true wall colour.
What do we need to prepare for the visit?
Nothing. We walk through, measure and look at any damp or cracks. You can add a photo of the wall in the form.
How do you work with managing agents on exteriors?
We prepare a short scope summary for the residents meeting: access, seasonal schedule, product type and impact on residents. A written quote follows the decision.
What if there is damp or blistering on the wall?
We do not paint over damp without finding its source, or it soon blisters again. If needed, we schedule repair or drying first.
