How we protect your home.
- Dust sheets everywhere — Floors, stairs and furniture fully covered before a single tin is opened.
- Masking and shielding — Sockets, switches, glass, hinges and hardware taped and protected.
- Furniture handled with care — Moved, centred and covered — and put back exactly where it was.
- Daily tidy-up — Tools packed, sheets folded, rooms liveable at the end of every day.
Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your Hackney Downs project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.
