How a project runs, prep first
Seven steps from your first message to the final walkthrough. Most of our time on site goes into protecting and preparing.
The seven steps
The same steps on every job, inside or out.
Enquiry
Send us a project enquiry with what needs painting, your town and rough timing.
Estimate visit
We visit your home by appointment to look at the surfaces, their condition and the colors you have in mind.
Written scope
You get a written scope listing the surfaces, prep, products and colors, coats and exclusions. Work starts once you've agreed it.
Scheduling
We agree dates with you. Exterior dates depend on weather and may move.
Protect
Floors, furniture, fixtures and plants are covered or moved before any prep starts.
Prepare
Surfaces are cleaned, scraped, sanded, filled, caulked and spot primed, as the scope sets out.
Paint, walkthrough and touch-ups
We paint, then walk through the job with you and work through a touch-up list. Labelled leftover paint is left with you.
Before day one
A few things on your side help the first day start smoothly.
- Clear small items, pictures and ornaments from the rooms or walls being painted
- Arrange for pets to stay away from the work area
- Let us know about access and parking for the crew
- Make water and power available for cleanup and tools
- Tell us which rooms you need to use during the job

Good to know
- How we work
- One point of contact during business hours, a daily tidy-up and labelled leftover paint left with you. These are our working practices, not guarantees.
- Weather
- Exterior paint needs suitable weather. If it turns, we move the date and agree a new one with you.
- Access
- We need clear access to the surfaces being painted and somewhere to park and set up.
- Older homes
- Built before 1978, or not sure? Tell us. Older paint may contain lead, and we will talk it through at the estimate visit.
Demo note: On a real site, the business adds any lead-safe credentials here only if they genuinely hold them.
