Moving furniture is part of what we do; very rarely do we work on project where furniture isn't present. No additional charge is made for this.

How do you make sure paint doesn't go everywhere?
Great care is taken to cover furniture and carpets using dust sheets, polythene sheeting and tape at the edges. We appreciate these are your personal effects and that they should be respected.

Will there be paint pots and ladders left everywhere each night?
At the end of each working day all paint, ladders and equipment will be removed from your property, furniture replaced and carpets vacuumed and left clean and tidy. Part of our reputation has been built on this fact and can be verified by many satisfied customers.

All resulting rubbish i.e. wall paper trimmings, empty cans and pots will be removed from site and disposed of.
