Better looking paintwork
Prepared walls take colour more evenly.
The foundation of a quality finish
Surface Preparation
A professional finish starts with the wall. We prepare surfaces properly so the paint or whitewash looks even and well applied.
Overview
Surface Preparation done properly
Surface preparation is the unglamorous part of painting, and it is also the part that shows in the final result. Cleaning, filling, sanding and priming all help the new finish look consistent.
We include preparation in painting quotes where it is needed, and we can also quote preparation as a defined scope when walls are in poor condition.
Skipping this step is how jobs end up looking patchy. We would rather do it properly.

Frequently asked questions
Is preparation included in a painting quote?
Standard preparation is included in the quoted painting scope. Extra repairs are discussed if the walls need more work.

We will point it out and quote the extra repair rather than painting over a failing surface.
