We prep and protect
Dust sheets down, furniture covered, then proper prep: filling, sanding, caulking and priming.
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 Alston project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.
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.
