Preparation & protection

Before we openthe paint.

Your home still has to work while we’re painting it. Here’s a real room being protected for the job, with a closer look at what’s covering the furniture and floor.

Choose a number on the photo to jump to an explanation of the furniture or floor protection.

What stays in the room

Furniture, covered.

The furniture in this photograph is gathered together and wrapped in plastic. Before we begin in your home, we’ll agree on what you’ll move, what can stay and how it will be covered.

Where we work

A little room to move.

Cloth coverings protect the floor around the work area. We’ll talk through access, the rooms you need to use and how to keep a practical route through your home.

Protection is one part. Preparation is another.

Prepare the surface
for the new finish.

Coverings protect the things that stay. Preparing the surface is a separate part of the job, and the right approach depends on what’s already there.

Look together.

We’ll look at loose coatings, dents, gaps and earlier repairs, along with the surfaces you want painted.

Agree on the work.

Your estimate should make the preparation and painting scope clear. Ask about anything you expected to see included.

Leave room for real life.

We’ll discuss access, furniture, drying time and the spaces you still need to use before the work begins.
