How We Work

The Process

Before Project

We will meet and discuss the following aspects of your job:

  • Access
  • Parking
  • Keys, access cards
  • Alarm system, smoke alarms
  • OHS issues on site – electrical wires, children
  • Are there to be any changes or variations to the original scope

During Project

When the work commences:

  • On the first day we will re-check the scope and confirm above arrangements
  • Site will be left clean and tidy at the end of every day
  • Keys, access cards
  • Gear will remain on site during the duration of the project

After Project

After the project is complete:

  • We will ask you to inspect the work to confirm that all work has been satisfactorily completed
  • The site will be left clean and tidy
  • All access keys/swipe cards will be left in an agreed upon location
  • We will provide touch up paint
  • We will provide you with a suggested maintenance plan

Workmanship

Preparation

  • All surfaces will be correctly prepared and adjacent surfaces will be protected with drop sheets or plastic.
  • Surfaces to be painted will be cleaned, sanded, with failed coatings removed, holes filled and cracks caulked.
  • Mould and rust will be treated prior to painting.
  • Water stains and damage will be sealed.
  • Water damage will be treated on the visible surface; no guarantee is given that the water damage will not reoccur unless the work scope includes exterior waterproofing of the area.
  • Cracks are caused by movement in the painted structure and therefore they may reoccur.

Painting

  • Toms painting servise use a three coat system: a full undercoat on raw substrate and two top coats.
  • All paints used are premium paints.
  • The painting will be a fully opaque coating, with minimal and consistent application marks, clean edges and sharp corners.

Our painting services are available in Darwin, Palmerston, The Rural Area, Gove and Alice Springs.
