At Drew Decor, we believe preparation is the cornerstone of any successful painting and decorating project. It’s more than just a preliminary step; it’s the key to delivering a flawless finish, ensuring long-lasting results, and maintaining the health and safety of our clients and team. Here’s a closer look at how we approach preparation and why it’s the most important part of our process.
A Dust-Free Approach: Health and Precision
One of the biggest challenges in painting and decorating is managing dust. Traditional sanding methods can release large amounts of dust into the air, which not only affects the finish but can also pose health risks. That’s why we use state-of-the-art dustless sanders. These tools capture dust at the source, providing several key benefits:
Health Benefits: By minimising airborne dust particles, we reduce the risk of respiratory issues for both our team and our clients.
Smoother Finish: Dustless sanding creates a cleaner surface, ensuring the paint or wallpaper adheres perfectly.
Cleaner Environment: Less dust means fewer clean-ups and a tidier workspace.
For intricate areas that require a finer touch, we hand sand using a variety of sandpaper grades. This ensures even the trickiest corners and edges are perfectly prepped for the next stage.
Tailored Solutions for Every Surface
Homes and properties in Sheffield and the Peak District often present unique challenges, from older plaster that develops hairline cracks to damp issues caused by the local climate. That’s why we use a variety of fillers tailored to different needs. Whether it’s a minor imperfection in plaster or a deeper hole in woodwork, we apply the right materials and techniques to create a seamless repair.
Problem areas like water damage or mould require extra care. We use specialised primers designed to seal and stabilise these surfaces, ensuring the final finish is not compromised. This attention to detail guarantees durability and prevents recurring issues.
Protecting Your Home: Carpets, Furniture, and Beyond
Your home is your sanctuary, and we treat it with the utmost respect. Before any work begins, we take comprehensive measures to protect your belongings:
Carpets: We lay down high-quality cotton dust sheets that provide reliable coverage and prevent paint or debris from coming into contact with your flooring.
Furniture: Beds, sofas, tables, chairs, and electronics are shielded with clean plastic sheeting to keep them safe from dust, paint splatters, or accidental damage.
Electrical Goods: TVs, sound systems, and other sensitive items are given extra attention to ensure they remain untouched and in perfect condition.
We understand the importance of minimizing disruption to your daily life or business operations. That’s why we ensure every measure is taken to keep your property safe and functional throughout the project.
Cleaning as We Go
A clean workspace is a productive workspace. At the end of each day, we tidy up thoroughly to ensure the area is ready for the next stage of the project. This involves:
Vacuuming and wiping down surfaces to remove dust and debris.
Ensuring tools and materials are organised and stored safely.
Checking for any areas that may need additional preparation the following day.
Once the project is complete, we go the extra mile to leave your home spotless. From removing all protective coverings to a final clean of the work area, we ensure every detail is perfect before we hand the space back to you.
