A little preparation makes a big difference. It helps us start quickly, keep things tidy and deliver the best finish. Here’s the simple checklist we recommend for homeowners.
Before we arrive
- Clear small items: shelves, side tables, ornaments and fragile pieces.
- Move furniture: aim for a 1m gap from walls where possible (we can help reposition heavy pieces).
- Protect valuables: store jewellery, documents and electronics safely away.
- Wall access: take down pictures, mirrors and curtains/rails if requested.
- Pets & kids: plan safe access routes (especially for hallways and stairs).
Quick win: if you can send photos of the room beforehand, we’ll arrive with the right protection and prep materials from the start.
During the job
- Ventilation: crack windows where safe — helps drying and keeps the air fresh.
- Access: keep hallways clear for dust sheets and equipment.
- Questions: ask early if you’re unsure about colours, edges or finishes.
Aftercare
- Cure time: avoid scrubbing walls for ~2 weeks (paint needs time to harden).
- Touch-ups: keep a small labelled pot for future quick fixes.
- Cleaning: wipe gently with a soft cloth; use mild soap if needed.
