WHY USE A PAINTING  & DECORATING ASSOC. MEMBER?


Communication

Picture






I am easily contactable and will keep you informed.


Trustworthy

Key(s) / Alarm code can be safely left with me and you will not have un-named tradespeople on site.
Get the work done whilst you are on holiday - not a problem.

Reliable Suppliers

Material and Paint prices are closely monitored, and great consideration is given to provide excellent value to my customers. For example, if one of my suppliers has a promotion at a time when supplies are being sourced for your project (i.e., specific paint colours), you will benefit by getting a discount from my usual prices. Stocked items such as Satinwood and Gloss finishes (oil or water-based) for woodwork will generally work out at very good value as you are only charged for what has been used rather than a full tin. This is the same for standard items that I keep good stock of, for example, vinyl matt / mouldshield / eggshell paints in White, all types of filler, decorators caulk, frame sealants, glazing putty, masking tape, wallpaper adhesive, size etc.

All customer prices of the hundreds of supplies I have listed are available upon request at any time *.

* The final price you pay may be slightly different if manufacturers prices have changed during the meantime.

Picture
For material and tool supplies I mainly use Brewers, several online decorating suppliers, plus Wickes, Screwfix, Homebase, Jewson  & B&Q.

Low Energy Lighting

Picture
​When there is insufficient natural light, or to enhance existing lighting (for ease of wallpaper hanging, identifying cracks, etc.), I use Defender Eco work lights that use a triphosphorus lamp. These are high output low energy lights that are ideal for painting and decorating. Site lamps that are very inefficient and get very hot are not used. Also, the Nightsearcher Galaxy2400 - a rechargeable LED with anti-glare.

Quotes, Estimates & Invoices

I will visit you, spend time discussing & assessing your needs and advise on costs / prepare a written quote / estimate (in most cases a written quote / estimate is provided before any work commences).  

Quotes / Estimates are free * and always without any obligation whatsoever, however there may be a nominal charge for visits that are more than 5 miles from LU7 0JF. This would be agreed in advance AND totally refundable upon payment of invoice for the completed project or used as part of the deposit to secure the booking. Also, there may be a nominal charge for subsequent quote(s) when a previous quote was not accepted.   

"Stewart was professional from the outset. He provided a very detailed quote fully outlining the scope and costs of the job."

Clear easy to understand Quotes / Invoices ~ details included that are so often missing, so you don't get any unwanted surprises. My Quotes / Estimates detail the work to be undertaken so there is a clear understanding of what is and what is not included, materials to be used, working hours, how much it will cost, etc. 

My Invoices set out how much materials have been used and their cost, there are no hidden extras.

Material costs are estimated, with the aim to be under or as close to this figure as possible - with this in mind I have developed a system to easily keep on top of costs at all times and therefore the ability to keep my clients fully informed.

Invoices detail the breakdown between Labour & Material costs so you know how the total cost has been arrived at. Any part / stage payments and deposits, including dates, would be clearly shown.


Eco Friendly

Picture
I use Hippo Clean Spirit - Containing a high-tec combination of low VOC components, clean spirit is a revolutionary water based alternative to White Spirit that is highly effective and safer for you and the environment.

Clean Spirit is readily biodegradable, non-toxic, non-flammable and virtually odourless.

It's ideal for cleaning water and oil based paints, brushes and rollers. It also contains a conditioning agent to keep brushes soft, flexible and like new.

Working Environment

Clean & tidy ~ during and at the end of working day I will vacuum &/or tidy to ensure the least amount of disruption.

Safe working environment ~ my working practices always aim to dovetail with your needs and safety for all, including the storage of equipment and materials, will always be given a high priority. Particular attention will be given to this area should there be children or pets that could potentially come into contact with tools or materials. Should any tools or materials be stored at your home/premises overnight then the bulk of them would usually be kept in robust plastic storage boxes.

Self-sufficient on site ~ soap, towel, food & drink are supplied so you don't have to - your towels & teabags are safe!

Non-smoker ~ no smoke breaks to infringe on working day.

Protecting furniture/flooring ~ I have ample dust/poly sheets, masking paper/tape, to cover and protect everything in any size room, staircase or property and in some cases, where it's appropriate, I will use protective film for staircases, carpets or hard floors that give great protection, are easily removed and leave no residue.


Minimising Dust Pollution & Better Finish

Picture
When sanding ceilings, walls, window boards etc, I use a combination of three virtually dust-free systems; the Mirka Ceros orbital sander for larger areas and Mirka sanding strips for detailed work/corners (two different sizes), all are attached to a dust extraction system (see below) to greatly reduce dust. 

This huge reduction in dust pollution helps improve the working environment and speeds up the time taken to clean up following preparation of an area. The Ceros orbital sander also greatly improves the finish to any surface. Difficult to access areas, or those that need extra care, will be sanded traditionally (usually 3M sandblaster), but this will usually only account for quite a small percentage of the overall project.

Paint and Go

Picture
I use a range of these products to help change paint and brushes quickly and easily. They also give freedom of movement and flexibility, making switching between brush and roller very efficient. 

Clean and Go

Picture
I use Clean and Go from 'Go Paint' as it cleans, stores and preserves brushes in an eco-friendly way. See 'Spirit Green' above.

Picture

Safety Stair Rods

To help avoid a trip hazard on the stairs I use Safety Stair Rods. They keep dustsheets on stairs fitting tight and neat as well as being much safer for anyone using the stairs during decoration.

Picture

Yuleys Protective Footwear

Yuleys are a great hands-free way of protecting all flooring from dirty work boots. Step from outside straight into a pair of Yuleys and straight on with work, knowing there's no dirt or paint prints being left behind on customers floors.

Stewkley Decorating are proud to use the following for materials, tools, equipment, communication & transport.
