Services
Dust-free sanding
Our dust-free sanding system minimises mess during wall preparation. Using advanced Festool and Mirka equipment, we extract 95% of dust particles at the source. This technology protects your home environment while achieving smooth surfaces ready for painting.
Wall resurfacing
We restore damaged walls to 'as new' condition without full replastering. Our technique addresses wallpaper-stripped surfaces and imperfections through precise resurfacing. This cost-effective solution preserves existing architectural details like skirting boards and coving.
Coving installation
Professional coving installation enhances room aesthetics while preventing dust accumulation. We handle traditional plaster styles and modern designs, ensuring seamless joints and perfect alignment with ceiling and wall angles.
XVLP paint spraying
Our XVLP spraying system delivers flawless finishes on trim and large surfaces. This low-pressure technology reduces overspray while maintaining coverage quality. Water-based paints dry quickly without yellowing, ideal for kitchens and high-traffic areas.
Patch plastering
We specialise in targeted plaster repairs rather than full-wall replastering. Our technique bonds new plaster seamlessly with existing surfaces, eliminating cracks and hollow spots. This approach saves time and costs compared to complete replastering.
