SURFACE PREPARATION
Pressure washing, mould treatment, plaster repairs and gap filling — the groundwork behind every lasting finish.
The Foundation of Every Great Finish
Ask any painter what separates a job that lasts from one that fails, and the answer is preparation. It's the part most people never see — and the part we care about most. Proper prep is the single biggest reason our finishes look better and last longer.
A Thorough, Proven Process
Our preparation covers pressure washing, mould and mildew treatment, sanding and surface preparation, gap filling and caulking, plaster repairs, and timber restoration. We don't rush the groundwork — we get the surface right before a drop of top coat goes on.
Why Preparation Matters
Paint applied over a poorly prepared surface will peel, flake and fail — no matter how premium the product. By treating mould, filling gaps, repairing plaster and priming correctly, we make sure every coat bonds properly and holds up against the weather and wear.
Done Right, From the Ground Up
This is the work that protects your investment. When you choose Selwood Painting, you're getting a team that treats preparation as the most important step on the job — because that's exactly what it is.
