New build painting

Spray-out and undercoat before fit-out, final coats after it. Worked in around the builder.

A new house gets painted twice over. The spray-out happens while the walls and ceilings are bare, then the finish coats go on once the kitchen, doors and trims are in. Kyle works both stages around the builder so the house is ready when the handover date comes.

What the job covers

  • Spray-out and undercoat of walls and ceilings
  • Ceiling top coats before fit-out
  • Doors, architraves and skirtings
  • Final coats and touch-ups after fit-out

Before fit-out

With nothing in the way, the whole house is sprayed out: walls and ceilings undercoated, and ceilings taken through to their top coats. It is the fastest point in the build to get an even, full-coverage base.

After fit-out

Once cabinets, doors and trims are installed, the walls get their finish coats and the woodwork is done. Knocks and marks from the other trades are patched and touched up at the same time.

Recent new builds

Recent jobs include a new build finished in Haymes Casper White Quarter throughout, and a spray-out, garage and cladding job on another new build.

Once the plaster is finished and before fit-out for the spray-out and undercoat, then again after fit-out for the finish coats.
