Overview

Painting & Decorating done properly

Most disappointing paintwork in the UAE fails for the same reason: preparation was rushed. Filling that was not sanded flat, sealer skipped on new plaster, silicone contamination left in place, or a topcoat applied over a surface that was never truly clean. The paint then telegraphs every one of those shortcuts under natural light within a few months.

Our decorating teams spend as much time on preparation as on application. Surfaces are washed, cracks are raked out and filled properly, patches are sanded flush, and primers are matched to the substrate before a single liter of finish paint is opened. We work with Jotun, Dulux, National Paints and specialist finishes, and we protect the property properly so the work never becomes a second problem.

Technical specification

How painting and decorating is executed

The instruments we carry, the values we record, the standards we work to and the materials we install. Ask any contractor for the same four lists before you compare prices.

Instrumentation on the van

  • Protimeter moisture meter for substrate readiness
  • Wet-film thickness gauge
  • Orbital sanders with dust extraction
  • Airless spray rigs with pressure control

Values we measure and record

  • Substrate moisture content before priming
  • Wet-film thickness per coat against the product data sheet
  • Ambient temperature and relative humidity against product application limits
  • Adhesion by cross-hatch test where an existing coating is in question

Standards and method

  • Preparation to a sound, dry, contaminant-free substrate before any coating
  • Primer selected to the specific substrate, never a universal undercoat
  • Two full finish coats as standard with published recoat intervals observed
  • Crack raking to a sound edge, not surface skimming

Materials and components

  • Jotun, Dulux and National Paints systems specified by name and batch on the quotation
  • Elastomeric and weather-resistant exteriors for UAE UV and thermal cycling
  • Anti-fungal formulations for wet areas
  • Low-VOC interior systems available for occupied properties
How We Do It, Step 1 to 7

Our seven-stage method

Every painting and decorating job follows the same documented seven-stage method, whether it is a single call-out or a full building program.

Site visit, color and specification

We measure the areas, assess the existing substrate and discuss color, sheen level and paint system. Sample patches can be applied so you see the color in your own light before committing.

Detailed written quotation

The quotation sets out the preparation, the number of coats, the exact products and the areas covered. Everything is fixed in advance, including making good existing defects.

Full property protection

Furniture is moved and sheeted, floors are covered edge to edge, sockets and switches are masked, and joinery, glazing and ironmongery are protected before any preparation begins.

Surface preparation

Walls are washed down, cracks are raked out and filled, patches are sanded flush, loose material is removed and defective plaster is cut out and made good. This is the stage that decides how the finish will look in two years.

Priming and sealing

The correct primer or sealer is applied for each substrate: new plaster, previously painted surfaces, timber, metal and wet areas all take different systems. Stains are blocked so they cannot bleed through.

Finish coats applied properly

Two full finish coats are applied as standard, cut in by hand at every edge and rolled or sprayed to an even film thickness. Coats are allowed proper drying time rather than rushed to close the job early.

Inspection, touch-up and clean-out

We walk the property with you under natural and artificial light, mark any snags, correct them, remove all masking and protection and leave the property clean and reassembled.

Questions & Answers

Painting, frequently asked questions

A three-bedroom villa interior typically takes four to six working days including preparation and drying time. A full villa inside and out is usually eight to fourteen days depending on the extent of preparation required.

Yes, in most cases. We work room by room, contain dust, and can use low-odor, low-VOC paints so occupied rooms remain comfortable. For a full property repaint, vacating for a few days will always produce a faster and cleaner result.

Two full finish coats over the appropriate primer as standard. Strong color changes, previously stained surfaces or bare plaster may require an additional coat, which we identify and price at the quotation stage rather than afterwards.

Yes. Cracks are raked out rather than skimmed over, defective plaster is cut back to a sound edge and made good, and every filled area is sanded flush before priming.

Principally Jotun, Dulux and National Paints, selected to suit the substrate and exposure. We are happy to work with a specific brand or color system if you have one specified.

Yes. Exterior work uses weather-resistant and elastomeric systems appropriate to UAE sun and humidity, with render repairs and crack treatment carried out before coating.
