A new blog is now live on my website.

Wallpaper Removal & Wall Preparation in Cairns and Surrounding Areas
Removing old wallpaper is only part of the job. Proper adhesive removal, cleaning, repairs, sealing and wall preparation are important before repainting to achieve a clean, long-lasting finish.

In this article, I explain the process I use and what can be involved when preparing previously wallpapered walls for painting.

Heavy Ni****ne Stains – Job Done ✅

Another challenging interior brought back to life!

Heavy ni****ne staining requires more than just a few coats of paint. Proper preparation and stain blocking are essential to stop stains and odours from bleeding back through the new finish.

For this job I used premium Dulux products, including Dulux PRECISION Shellac Based Stain Blocker, followed by quality DuluxGroup finishing products for a clean, fresh and long-lasting result.

Professional preparation. Premium products. Proper results.

New blog is now live!

Heavy smoke and ni****ne stains cannot simply be covered with ordinary ceiling paint—they will bleed back through unless the ceiling is properly sealed first.

After recently transforming a heavily stained studio ceiling in only two days, I’ve explained the correct preparation, stain-blocking and repainting process in my latest blog.

From heavy ni****ne and mould stains to freshly painted ceilings—this studio was completed in only two days.

Smoke-stained ceilings need more than just a fresh coat of paint. If the stains are not properly sealed first, they will bleed back through the new finish, and the smoke smell may remain.

The correct process is to clean and treat the mould, seal the entire affected ceiling with a proper stain-blocking sealer, and then apply fresh mould-resistant ceiling paint.

A clean, bright finish and a much healthier-looking studio.
