Preparation is key to a high quality durable finish and Pentland Painting & decorating do this day in day out in Edinburgh and Midlothian.

Professional Decorators will always thoroughly prepare whatever substrate they’re working on to ensure a high quality, long lasting, finish that our customers have come to expect.  Preparation is often the area most homeowners attempting diy don’t spend enough time on, often resulting in poor quality results where as professional painters & decorators will often spend longer preparing the job, than the decorating.

We know that when it comes to decorating, it’s important to take the time to prepare all surfaces properly and thoroughly. To achieve the best finish, Pentland Painting & decorating have to sand all surfaces before and in-between coats of paint. This process can produce large amounts of dust, resulting in a lot of mess.

Most decorators will use dust sheets to protect your surfaces and furniture while they are sanding, but this is ineffective and does not protect against airborne dust, which can cause health issues and also leave a film on surfaces long after the decorators have left your property.  We avoid this problem with the use of our innovative technology.

The sanders we use are connected to dust extraction system which are L class approved, meaning no more than 1% extracted dust can pass out of the filter. Virtually no dust will be released into the air during the sanding process, meaning that your property will be kept clean, neat and without the annoying film of dust that is often left behind during decorating. You won’t have to tidy the room or vacuum up any dust once we’ve completed the work.  all you need to do is enjoy the vision of a clean, fresh and newly decorated home.

Whatever type of work we are doing, whether redecorating a kitchen or bathroom, or painting the exterior of your house, we always make sure to prepare properly and leave a great finish with no mess.
