As everyone knows – preparation in painting is the key to achieving flawless results and by entrusting Norwest you are entrusting a company that excels in preparation. Every aspect of our preparation work is carefully planned, methodically carried out and critically inspected at time of preparation and completion. Any paint work can look great from a distance, but it in the close-up comprehensive inspections under spotlights which separates us from the rest. Our in-house inspectors carry out detailed reports during every stage of the painting service covering each step from beginning to end to ensure excellent results are delivered to our clients each and every time. Below are just a few examples of what sets Norwest Painting and Decorating apart from the rest!

Sanding

Correct and thorough Sanding is a major component of preparing timber and metal to accept new paint. Sanding an existing surface removes any flaky paint and glossy sheen, leaving behind a clean yet uneven surface which new paint will then bond and adhere to securely. Poor sanding preparation results in new paint not adhering correctly to the underlying surface and runs the risk of peeling and flaking. These pictures shows good quality sanding that we achieve with a top range Festool sander next to average sanding done by hand.

Patching Timbers & Frames

Once all timbers, doors, architraves, skirtings and door frames have been sanded correctly an appropriate surface filler is applied. This includes all areas that have natural or trade created imperfections such as nail holes, exposed Mitre joints, countersunk screws, cracks and knots in timbers. These surfaces and patches are then sanded once more and ready to accept the undercoat.

Patching Walls & Ceilings

Walls commonly receive the most damage in homes in the form of chips, cracks and stains. In most cases, applying only a layer of paint over the top of these damaged walls only does 50% of the job, while leaving the defects and imperfections still visible on the surface. It is only when the underlying surface is correctly prepared to excellent condition that the true benefits of fresh paint will emerge. Norwest painting is acutely aware of this, that is why all surfaces from wall to ceiling are extensively repaired prior to painting so as to deliver the best possible finish to our client.
