Airless spraying
Airless spraying covers large surfaces fast and evenly. Used right, it gives a finish that rolling can't match. Used wrong, it makes a mess that's expensive to fix. The difference is masking, technique and back-rolling.
Where it works
- New build walls and ceilings before fit-out
- Commercial fit-outs with big open surfaces
- Factory ceilings and warehouse walls
- Spray-then-back-roll on textured exterior cladding (best of both worlds)
- Doors, joinery and trim sprayed off-site for a factory finish
What we mask
Floors, windows, joinery, electrical fittings, plumbing, neighbouring property. Properly. Cheap plastic and brittle tape doesn't cut it on a real spray job, so we use proper masking products and replace them when they fail.
Plastering and gib stopping
The prep stage where most of the actual time on a paint job goes. Joints stopped, screw holes filled, dents and bumps brought back true. Skim coats over rough or patched gib. Each coat sanded back flush before the next.
What plastering includes
- Gib stopping after a builder or plasterer leaves the wall ready
- Patch and repair on existing walls before repaint
- Crack repairs in old plaster, stucco and lath-and-plaster ceilings
- Skim coats to even out tired walls before a fresh paint job
- Priming and sealing ready for paint or paper
Roof painting and waterblasting
Roofs that look tired don't always need replacing. Cleaned properly and repainted with quality roof paint, an old roof can look like new for another decade.
The roof process
- Waterblast. High-pressure clean to remove dirt, lichen and loose paint. Done with care so we don't damage flashings or push water under fixings.
- Anti-moss treatment. Stops the moss and lichen coming back.
- Repair. Bare metal patches primed. Loose fixings replaced. Flashings sealed where they need it.
- Paint. Two coats of premium roof paint, applied in the right weather window. Long-run iron, corrugated, tile and decramastic.
Roof colour matters more than people think. Lighter colours reflect more heat and last longer in our UV. We'll talk you through colour options when Matt quotes the job.
