On the day of arrival our first task will be to create and mask a spray zone in its entirety including all walls, floors and ceilings using masking paper, masking film low tack and general purpose masking tape ensuring we have done everything possible to avoid overspray. Next is the meticulous preparation of the furniture and all areas to be sprayed this will involve scotching (light sanding) to ensure best possible adhesion of the specialist coating (polyurethane based paint) and filling any defects using wood filler, wax and caulk ensuring that the surface to be sprayed is as smooth and flawless as can be and finally a good wipe all over with panel wipe a chemical used to remove any unseen oil based contaminants that would react with our coatings.
Once we are happy that all surfaces have been prepped we then need to think about extraction of overspray and vapours. Using an industrial high powered fan to extract out of the property using windows and doors as much as possible.
We are then ready to apply our first coat “dust coat” a really light coat onto the surface to help further with adhesion to the surface and gives another chance to check for any reactions or defects in the furniture that will need to be rectified once dried, once were happy that all is well, all surfaces will then have another light sand prior to the main coat being applied. Again we check for any defects before applying the final coat which will leave the furniture with a flawless fresh out of the factory look.
Finally we then de-mask the spray zone exposing our work in all its glory, remove all rubbish and make sure the spray zone is as neat and tidy as possible. At this point we would walk the customer around to make sure they are entirely satisfied before our departure.
On arrival we would start by removing all silicone from around all exterior surfaces to be
sprayed as the paint will not adhere to this, we then begin to put tape lines on and proceed to
masking including the inside of the sashes and door frames creating the spray zone, making
sure we have done everything possible to avoid overspray. Next is prepping the the surface
to be sprayed this involves scotching (light sanding) all surfaces to be resprayed to ensure
best possible adhesion of our coating (Polyurethane solvent based paint) and then a good
wipe down using panel wipe, a chemical used to clean and rid the surface of any unseen
contaminants that could cause a reaction.
Once were happy all surfaces have been properly prepped we are then ready to apply our first
coat “dust coat” a really light coat onto the surface which will further help with adhesion, and
gives another chance to check for any reactions or defects on the surface that will need to be
rectified once to dried, ensuring that the surface to be sprayed is as smooth and flawless as
can be once were happy that all is well, all surfaces will then have another light sand and be
blown off using compressed air and wiped with a tack rag (sticky cloth) prior to the main coat
being applied. Again we check for any defects before applying the final coat which will
leave the Upvc with a flawless just fitted look
Finally we then de-mask the spray zone exposing our work in all its glory, apply a colour
matched silicone where it has been removed, remove all rubbish and make sure the spray
zone is as neat and tidy as possible. At this point we would walk the customer around to
make sure they are entirely satisfied before our departure.
On the day of arrival our first task will be to mask the spray zone in its entirety including all
walls, floors and ceilings using masking paper, masking film, low tack and general purpose
masking tape ensuring we have done everything possible to avoid overspray. Next is the
meticulous preparation of the cupboards and all areas to be sprayed this will involve
scotching (light sanding) to ensure best possible adhesion of the specialist coating
(polyurethane based paint) and filling any defects using wood filler, wax and caulk ensuring
that the surface to be sprayed is as smooth and flawless as can be and finally a good wipe all
over with panel wipe a chemical used to remove any unseen oil based contaminants that

Once we are happy that all surfaces have been prepped we then need to think about extraction
of overspray and vapours. Using an industrial high powered fan to extract out of the property
using windows and doors as much as possible.
We are then ready to apply our first coat” a really light coat onto the surface to help further
with adhesion to the surface and give another chance to check for any reactions or defects in
the wardrobes that will need to be rectified. Once we are happy that all is well, all surfaces
will then have another light sand prior to the main coat being applied. Again we check for
any defects before applying the final coat which will leave the cladding with a flawless just
fitted look.
Finally we then de-mask the spray zone exposing our work in all its glory, remove all rubbish
and make sure the spray zone is as neat and tidy as possible. At this point we would walk the
customer around to make sure they are entirely satisfied before our departure. The respray
would take 2 days to complete. The first day would be masking and the second is the respray
and de-mask.
From cooking and daily usage, chemicals and food stains, kitchen cabinets put up with a lot on a daily basis. It’s important to be aware of the many factors that can prematurely wear them down and age them quickly. Always keep in mind that newly painted and refinished cabinets take approximately 30 days to FULLY cure. Daily use is not a problem, but extra caution should be taken to not mark or scratch the newly painted areas, exposing them to extreme heat or excessive moisture.
Indoor temperature can have a huge impact on newly sprayed kitchen cabinets, cooking can heat up your kitchen very quickly, so you should probably avoid it for about 24-48 hours or as long as possible. The heat and steam from cooking
may in rare cases cause discolouration and peeling if it hasn’t had time to properly set.
Exposing your cabinets to oven heat is inevitable, but you should try to avoid it as much as possible for at least a couple of days after painting your kitchen cabinets. If your cabinets are close to your oven they could be damaged by the intense heat if the paint hasn’t fully cured. If you have to cook while your newly painted cabinets are drying, then make sure to always turn the oven hood extractor fan on full blast to extract as much of the heat and steam as possible. Keep in mind that extreme temperature fluctuations can also naturally cause wood to expand and contract, so it’s important to maintain a climate-controlled home all year long.
Grease and grime buildup can tarnish the look and feel of your kitchen cabinets. Follow these cleaning tips to protect your newly sprayed kitchen cabinets and keep them looking newer longer.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Over time, these can strip away even the most durable paint. For best results, use gentle cleaning solutions like two parts warm water and one part dish soap, to clean your cabinets safely and gently.
Don’t spray cleaning solution directly onto your cabinets. Instead, spray small amounts of the cleaning solution on a soft microfiber cloth and gently wipe down your cabinets. After wiping them down with the cloth, dry them with a soft paper towel or a clean cloth.
Be mindful of how much liquid you’re using to clean your cabinets. Slightly damp cloths work best because they prevent the liquid from getting into the hinges that support your cabinets. Wet hinges can quickly become rusted and difficult to clean or replace.
Avoid certain cleaning agents such as ammonia, glass cleaner, silicone base, spray cleaners, citrus cleaners, petroleum solvents, wax base, powder bleach, magic erasers, and scouring pads. All of these contain either corrosive chemicals or abrasive materials that can cause extensive damage to your cabinets.
To maintain the aesthetic appeal and functionality, it’s important to properly care for your new painted kitchen cabinets. Here are some basic daily and long-term cabinet care tips.
Daily Cabinet Care:
Prevent permanent staining by immediately cleaning up grease, food, liquid spills, and fingerprint marks on your cabinets.
Don’t hang wet or damp dishtowels directly over cabinet doors. Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause your cabinets to warp, causing irreversible damages and even discolouration.
Use a microfiber cloth to dust your cabinets instead of dishcloths or sponges as these are more likely to attract bacteria.
Perform extensive exterior cabinet cleaning at least twice a year.
