Repairs & Surface Preparation

Meticulous Surface Preparation for a Flawless Finish

A great finish starts with solid groundwork - and at The Jolly Geordie, I take surface prep seriously. Whether you're dealing with minor damage, flaking paint, or stubborn wallpaper, I’ve got the tools and experience to put things right before the first coat even touches the wall.

Preparation services include:

• Minor plaster patching and filling cracks or holes
• Mould removal and anti-fungal treatment
• Full paint stripping (woodwork, metal, or walls)
• Wallpaper removal – clean and efficient, no gouged plaster
• Caulking and sealing gaps around skirting, coving, and frames
• Stain blocking and problem area priming
• Sanding and surface levelling for smooth, professional results.

Whether it's a rental with years of wear or a heritage home in need of care, I restore surfaces with precision and patience.

I use quality prep products including Gyproc Tetrion & Toupret fillers, and professional-grade primers and sealers by Zinsser to ensure long-lasting results and a perfect base for paint.

Don’t skip the prep - it’s the difference between “just painted” and a job done properly.
