How long will a room take?

Two or three days for most rooms, including the preparation. We will tell you when we look.

Do I need to move out?

Almost never. We work around you and cover everything, and you get the room back each evening.

Either way. Tell us what you want and we will get it, or use what you have bought.

Two topcoats as standard, and more over a strong colour. If one will genuinely do, we will say so.

Bring a piece of it or a photograph in daylight and we will get as close as paint allows.

We use low-odour paints indoors where we can, and ventilate as we go.

Filled, caulked, sanded, taped and covered before a brush comes out — which is why the edges are straight and it still looks right in five years.

Prepared properlyYour house stays usableStraight linesEnough coats

01Cracks filled, gaps caulked, walls sanded, and anything flaking taken back rather than painted over.
02Dust sheets down, furniture covered and moved back each evening.
03Cut in by hand, without tape doing the work for us.
04Primer where it is needed and two topcoats as standard, not one thin one that shows the wall through.

Rooms
Walls and ceilings, prepared, primed and finished in as many coats as it takes.
Whole houses
New builds and old, done room by room around you living there.
New plaster
Mist coat first, so the paint bonds instead of peeling off in a year.
Skimming and filling
Tired walls made flat again before any colour goes near them.
Woodwork
Doors, frames, skirting and stairs in satin or gloss, sanded properly between coats.
Wallpaper
Hung, and old paper taken off without wrecking the wall underneath.
Damp and stained walls
Sealed and treated first, so the stain does not come back through.
Outside
Masonry, render, windows and doors, done in the right weather rather than the convenient week.
Spray finishing
For doors, units and large ceilings where a roller would show every pass.
Restoration
Old plaster and mouldings made good rather than covered up.
Small jobs
One room, one ceiling, or the patch left by somebody else.

Before and after, including the walls that were worse than they looked.

Most of a good finish is preparation, so that is where we start.

01
Colours and quote
We look at the rooms, talk colours and finishes, and give a fixed price.
02
Protect
Furniture moved and covered, floors sheeted, sockets and edges masked.
03
Prepare
Cracks filled, gaps caulked, surfaces sanded, and primed or mist-coated where they need it.
04
Paint
Two topcoats, cut in by hand, with a sand between coats on the woodwork.
05
Check and clear
Looked over in daylight, touched in, and everything put back where it was.

Most of a good paint job happens before any colour goes on, and most of the difference you notice afterwards is in the edges and the number of coats.

We work room by room where we can, so you keep the rest of the house, and we tell you honestly how long we will be in it.

How long will a room take?
Two or three days for most rooms, including the preparation. We will tell you when we look.
Do I need to move out?
Almost never. We work around you and cover everything, and you get the room back each evening.
Do you supply the paint?
Either way. Tell us what you want and we will get it, or use what you have bought.
How many coats do you do?
Two topcoats as standard, and more over a strong colour. If one will genuinely do, we will say so.
Can you match a colour?
Bring a piece of it or a photograph in daylight and we will get as close as paint allows.
What about the smell?
We use low-odour paints indoors where we can, and ventilate as we go.

We start after the school run if that suits you better.
