Dustless sanding is an advanced prep technique where professional sanding tools are directly integrated with heavy-duty M-Class vacuum extraction units. As we sand the plaster, woodwork, or primer, up to 99.9% of the dust is captured immediately. This keeps the workspace clean, prevents paint contamination, and protects building occupants from breathing in paint particles.

All our standard commissions are backed by a 10-Year Guarantee. This means that if any premature peeling, cracking, or paint failure occurs due to sub-standard preparation or improper application, we will return to repair and recoat the affected area at zero cost. It covers both labor and materials, giving you peace of mind.

We select paint systems based on the specific surface and wear requirements. Typically, we use trade-grade finishes from leading manufacturers (such as Dulux Trade, Crown Trade, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, and Benjamin Moore). For heavy-wear trim and cabinets, we specify polyurethane-acrylic hybrid enamels which offer outstanding scratch and grease resistance.

Project timelines depend entirely on surface area and preparation. A standard 3-room interior project usually takes 3 to 5 working days. This allows for thorough surface prep, priming, drying times between coats, and final details. We provide a complete project schedule with every estimate.

We do both. For large plasterboard spaces, acoustic ceilings, and commercial units, airless spraying provides a flawless, texture-free finish in a fraction of the time. For smaller rooms or occupied properties where extensive masking is impractical, we use high-quality microfibre rollers and synthetic filament brushes for maximum precision.
