A flawless finish
Two coats of quality trade paint, a tidy-up and a final walkthrough — we're not done until it's right.
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 Whalebone project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.
