Our Paint Preparation Process in Thomson

  • Step 1 Initial Assessment & Consultation

    We start with a walkthrough of your property in Thomson to assess the condition of surfaces, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed quote. No pressure. No fluff. Just honest advice tailored to your space.

  • Step 2 Surface Cleaning & Pressure Washing

    We remove dirt, grime, mould, and flaky paint using industrial-grade pressure washers. For interiors, we use eco-friendly cleaners that are safe for pets, kids, and curious neighbours.

  • Step 3 Filling & Sanding

    Cracks? Gaps? Uneven patches? We fill them all. Then we sand—smooth as glass. The goal? A flawless base ready to hold your chosen paint like a dream.

  • Step 4 Priming the Surface

    We apply premium-grade primers suited to the surface—be it timber, render, brick, or metal. This step improves paint adhesion and blocks out stains or old colours. Smart, right?

  • Step 5 Masking & Protection

    We protect your furniture, fixtures, and floors using drop sheets, painter’s tape, and a whole lot of care. Your space stays clean—and your peace of mind intact.

  • Step 6 Final Inspection Before Painting

    Before a single brushstroke hits the wall, we inspect every inch. Missed a dent? Found a bubble? We fix it. Because good prep isn’t optional—it’s everything.
