How we work
From first visit to final walk-round.
Here is exactly what happens on a Dustsheet job, so you know what to expect before we arrive.
01
Free visit
We look at the rooms, check the walls and woodwork, and talk about colours. Usually 30 to 45 minutes.
02
Written quote
Itemised, fixed and sent within three working days. It lists the prep, paint and number of coats for every room.
03
Booking
We give you a start date and an honest estimate of how long it will take. No deposit under £2,000.
04
Protect
Floors sheeted edge to edge, furniture moved and wrapped, sockets, switches and glass masked.
05
Prepare
Fill, sand with dust extraction, caulk and spot-prime. On old houses we test for lime plaster first.
06
Paint
Two full coats, cut in by hand. Woodwork in eggshell or satin. Clean-up every evening and a photo by text.
07
Walk round
We check every room together, fix any snags on the spot, and hand over your guarantee.
Materials
The right paint for the wall.
We choose paint for the surface, not the brand. You can always bring your own.
Old plaster
Limewash & distemper
Breathable paints for lime plaster and stone, so damp can escape.
Hallways
Scrubbable matt
Tough, wipeable finishes for walls that get knocked.
Woodwork
Oil & water eggshell
Hard-wearing and low-sheen, brushed by hand.
Outside
Microporous & mineral
Paints that move with timber and let masonry breathe.
2
Year guarantee
If anything flakes or cracks, we come back.
Interior work is guaranteed for two years and exterior work for one. No forms, no small print. Just ring us and we’ll come and put it right.
