A professional finish depends heavily on the work completed before painting begins. Our preparation can include cleaning, sanding, filling, caulking, stain blocking, sealing and priming according to the condition and material of each surface.

Floors, carpets, furniture and surrounding finishes are carefully protected. Where appropriate, mechanical sanding and dust extraction are used to improve preparation while helping to maintain a cleaner working environment.

Any unexpected defects uncovered during preparation are discussed with the client before substantial additional work is undertaken.

Many decorating projects are completed while clients remain in their homes. We organise the work in manageable stages and keep tools, materials and working areas as orderly as possible.

Bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and other essential spaces can be programmed individually to reduce inconvenience. Where several rooms are involved, the order of work can be agreed in advance so that the household can plan around the decorating programme.

Doors, frames, skirting boards, staircases, window boards, cornices and decorative mouldings play an important part in the finished appearance of a room. These elements frequently require more preparation than the surrounding walls and ceilings.

Existing paintwork is inspected, cleaned and sanded before defects are filled and bare areas are primed. The correct finishing product is then selected according to the surface, desired appearance and expected level of use.

Wallpaper can introduce colour, texture and pattern while helping an individual room feel distinct from the rest of the property. We hang feature walls and complete rooms, including patterned wall coverings and lining paper where required.

Walls are assessed and prepared before hanging begins. This may include removing existing coverings, repairing defects and installing lining paper to create a more suitable surface for the final finish.

Quality Finishing also provides specialist hand-painting for kitchens, islands, fitted wardrobes, shelving and other built-in furniture.

Existing surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and prepared before appropriate primers and finishing coats are applied. This offers an effective way to update good-quality cabinetry while coordinating it with the surrounding room.

Exterior windows, entrance doors, timberwork and masonry are exposed to changing weather conditions and require suitable preparation and protective coatings.

Our exterior process may include removing loose paint, sanding, completing minor repairs, spot priming and applying appropriate exterior finishing systems. Access, weather conditions and drying times are considered when planning the programme.
