Here we outline some of our procedures with regards to materials.
Labour only or all in quote?:
Our quotation would normally cover labour and materials and all equipment needed. However, sometimes a client
has their own contacts for materials, or has a special preference of manufactuer in which case we can supply a quote
for " Labour Only (please see the page Our Quotations)
Our materials and suppliers:
We have trade accounts with a number of local reputable wholesalers.
The materials we use are those of which we can be sure and of which we have experience over many years.
We select the materials for your job from among our own preferred brand names with which we have accounts.
We supply you with our own professional colour chart free, which is extensive and has over 308 colours to
choose from
Specification:
(a) We shall always recommend to the client a method of treatment suitable to the task in hand.
We shall faithfully abide to the terms of our recommendation
(b) We shall recommend materials suitable for the job.
(c) Materials will be used in compliance with manufacturers recommendations.
Safety:
Advice is given as to approximate odour levels etc. Wherever possible we prefer adequate ventilation at
all times during progress of the work. All tins etc are sealed and stored at the end of and during each day.
If you require specialist paints because of any personal health needs etc, please ask us and for a small
additional charge special low odour and/or fast drying paints will be used.
Type of finish:
It is worth considering what type of finish you want for walls. For example, is it an area that has lots
of traffic or where childrens dirty paws will make marks? in which case a silk or soft sheen finish is probably better;
the same goes for any areas that might be better wipe-clean such as kitchens and bathrooms. Alternatively
living ares such as dining rooms, bedrooms and lounges are usually better in the softer warner matt finish.
Design:
We can also advise as to relevant colours and shades best suited to various types of rooms/spaces,
furnishings, period of house, and architectural features. We will not impose a design or advice but work with you to achieve
a solution for what you have in mind.
