Frequently Asked Questions

We specialise in hand-painting and spraying kitchens and furniture. There is often no need to replace your kitchen units or buy new furniture. Many people decide to get a whole new kitchen fitted, only because they are fed up with the colours or finish of it. However, this is very costly – and really, your kitchen and furniture can look brand new if you decide to spray it or have it hand-painted instead.

Spraying your furniture or kitchen cabinets and drawers gives you the freedom to choose exactly the colour you want, as well as the finish. Also, it will cost you a lot less. Why get rid of furniture that works perfectly fine just because you don’t like the colour anymore? Your existing kitchen cabinets might do just fine for another 5 or 10 years if you decide to spray them instead.

Our experienced painters and decorators have painted and sprayed many surfaces over the years! Painting of floors is no exception. Customers often ask us if we can paint their floors, and it really can make a huge difference to a room. Imagine a grey old garage – not interested in spending a fortune on a new floor? No problem. Painting your garage floor is a low-cost solution, but it is a big improvement and can give a totally different and better impression of a room. You can choose between an extensive range of colours, and our local paint suppliers offer incredibly hard-wearing floor paints. Expect a long-lasting result and a completely transformed room!

If your floor has cracks in it, we can fill the cracks before painting. This will give you a nice and smooth finish before applying your favourite colour. Get in touch with us for more information, and book an appointment with us if you are interested in a quotation.

To use water-based paint on oil-based paint, it is very important to prep the surface correctly, using the right grade of sandpaper. Once sanded sufficiently, the area must be dust-free before applying the water-based paint. Depending on the room or location of the surface, if it is indoor or outdoor, as well as other factors, our painter will know the best way to proceed.
