Westminster Painters & Decorators
Damp & stain preparation
Separate the cause of staining from the work needed to redecorate.
Discuss your projectPreparation and specification
Painting over a recurring mark does not resolve its cause. Establish whether the area needs investigation or repair and whether the substrate is ready for decoration.
What to include in the brief
- History and extent of the mark
- Any investigation or repair needed
- Readiness of the surface
- Suitable preparation and coating
Planning the work
Keep investigation, building repairs and decoration distinct in the quote. A stain-blocking product is not a substitute for resolving active moisture.
Before you enquire
Share the address, photographs of the surfaces and any access restrictions. Include your preferred timing and whether the building will remain occupied. Preparation, materials and any repairs can then be discussed as a defined scope.
