5 STEPS TO A PERFECT EXTERNAL REPAINT
STEP 1: THE SET UP.We arrange for all scaffolding to be erected, enabling us to access the work safely. Our carpenters then carry out all woodwork repairs as requested. We will then pressure wash the property to remove dirt and loose paint where we deem it necessary. |  |
STEP 2: THE PREPARATION.We hand scrape all peeling paint. Burn off all paint peeling beyond repair. Rake out and replace any defective glazing putty.All windows and doors are checked for binding and planed if required. We fill all woodwork with 2 pack plastic filler and rub down. All cracks in the masonry are filled with cement based repair plaster. We oil prime all bare wood and metal prior to painting. Flexible caulk is applied around windows and trim as needed. All loose nails are punched home on the property. |  |
STEP 3: THE PAINTING.All non painted surfaces, glass and landscaping will be protected from possible overspray. The wall will be treated with anti fungicidal wash where mould is present. We then apply two coats of premium quality masonry paint to the walls. All woodwork and trim receives two undercoats and a gloss finish. |  |
STEP 4: THE CLEAN UP.Clean up is preformed every evening and thoroughly on completion of the work. All rubbish is removed from site. Touch up paints are left with the client. All furniture and fittings are replaced. Any paint spots are removed from the glass. Plant and flower beds are cleaned of all paint chips and debris. |  |
STEP 5: THE HAND OVER.Before the crew pack up their equipment, the first walk around is done with the client to ensure that all contracted areas are painted properly. A snag sheet is filled in and checked off. The painter in charge walks the client around the property again making sure that every thing is completed to the highest standard. |  |
