Standard Execution Protocol

All five divisions operate under our zero-residual dust & fixed-price quote mandate.

HEPA Extracted Sanding
Full Floor Membrane Masking
Protocol • Care Standards 04

Methodical site protection. Zero residual footprint.

We treat inhabited residences with structural discipline. Our five-stage barrier containment and HEPA air scrubbing ensure daily living continues undisturbed while work progresses.

PHASE 01 Substrate Masking

Hardwood & Carpet Defense

We apply breathable, impact-resistant Cordex board across timber flooring and self-adhering protective film on carpeted thresholds. Skirtings and joinery are sealed with clean-edge washi tape that prevents bleed without surface residue.

  • Zero-residue masking tape
  • Non-permeable fleece runners
PHASE 02 Containment

Active Dust Scrubbing

All sanding is connected directly to M-Class HEPA extractors at the tool head, capturing 99.9% of particulate matter at origin. Magnetic zip screens isolate working zones to prevent migration into adjoining living quarters.

  • M-Class 0.1mg/m³ filtration
  • Heavy-gauge zipped dust locks
PHASE 03 17:00 Reset

Daily Clean-Down Protocol

Work areas are vacuumed and organized at the conclusion of every working day. All tools, tins, and sundries are neatly consolidated within designated storage boxes, leaving your home functional and habitable overnight.

  • Full room HEPA vacuuming
  • Consolidated lock-box storage
Site Protection Commitments

Designed for historic architectural mouldings and refined family spaces.

Whether working around bespoke joinery, antique chandeliers, or fragile plaster cornicing, our operatives apply targeted conservation measures before a single can of primer is unsealed.

The Colour & Light Consultation

IN-SITU LIGHT REFLECTANCE ANALYSIS
TESTED UNDER 24-HOUR LUX CYCLES

A Methodical Approach to Pigment

Paint never exists in isolation. It reacts constantly to sun exposure, ceiling pitch, neighbouring trees, and artificial Kelvin temperatures. Our consultations eliminate costly guesswork through oversized physical brush-outs and methodical architectural grading.

Curatorial Philosophy
“We do not pick colours from tiny paper chips under hardware store fluorescents. We test pigments against the exact noon and dusk shadows of your rooms.”
Arthur Fairweather Founder & Master Finisher

The Consultation Protocol

01 / Solar Aspect

North-facing cool tones require warm ochre undertones; harsh South light is softened with chalky mineral clays.

02 / 500mm Board Trials

Hand-painted sample boards shifted across trims, skirting, and light wells over a 48-hour viewing window.

03 / Sheen Diagnostics

Balancing Ultra-Matt 2% dead flat emulsions for lime walls with 20% eggshell for heavy-traffic architectural joinery.

04 / Heritage Blending

Careful coordination with Little Greene, Farrow & Ball, and bespoke mineral silicate pigments.
