OUR EQUIPMENT · FESTOOL & MIRKA
A smooth ceiling, a well-fitted door and a clean line of trim all begin before the final coat of paint. We use Festool and Mirka equipment for careful surface preparation, accurate cutting and dust-controlled work throughout your renovation.
From stair refinishing to complete interiors, our tools help us do the work properly—and look after the home we are working in.
Equipment we use
Dust captured at the tool. Surfaces prepared with care. Details cut to fit.
Sanding and cutting create dust. Rather than letting it spread and relying on cleanup afterwards, we connect compatible tools to extraction that collects dust as we work.
Our Festool and Mirka extraction equipment is part of the working setup, not something brought out only at the end of the day. For sanding, the machine, abrasive and extractor work together to collect dust at the surface. For connected cutting tools, extraction draws dust away from the cut.
This works alongside floor and furniture protection, containment where needed and cleanup. The aim is a controlled work area and less dust travelling through your home.
Collect during the work. Protect the surrounding space. Clean up properly.
Explore our approach to popcorn ceiling removalPaint, stain and clear finishes do not hide poor preparation. Sanding marks, rough patches and uneven transitions need attention before the finish goes on.
We use Mirka sanding equipment for controlled surface preparation before painting and refinishing. Matching the machine, abrasive and sanding sequence to the material helps us prepare the surface for the next stage—not simply remove material as quickly as possible.
Connected extraction also clears sanding dust from the working area, making the surface easier to inspect as preparation progresses.
Removing an existing finish and preparing a surface for a new one are different stages of the work. Our Festool sanding equipment supports both, with the setup adjusted to the material and the finish being prepared.
Broad surfaces, edges and detailed areas need different treatment. We use the appropriate machine where it suits the work and complete delicate details by hand where needed.
For large walls and ceilings, Festool PLANEX gives us a purpose-built, long-reach sanding setup with connected dust extraction. It is part of our preparation for smooth ceilings and painted surfaces, alongside the repairs and skim coating the surface needs.
Careful inspection before primer and paint helps us catch imperfections while they can still be corrected.
The quality of finish carpentry is often most noticeable where two surfaces meet. Straight edges, the right angles and careful fitting all contribute to the finished result.
A track saw runs along a guide rail rather than relying on a freehand line. We use Festool track saws for straight cuts in panels and suitable timber components, helping us size material accurately for the space it needs to fit.
With the appropriate blade and setup, the guided cutting system helps reduce splintering at the edge. That matters where a cut will remain visible or meet another finished surface.
Small errors become noticeable where two pieces of trim meet. Our KAPEX mitre saws provide controlled crosscuts, mitres and bevels for casings, baseboards, mouldings and other finish carpentry.
The adjustable cutting angles and repeatable setup support closely fitted work. We measure the actual space and check the fit before the pieces are fastened in place.
Explore our interior renovationsRenovation means working with an existing home, not just cutting new materials on an empty workbench. These tools help us make the adjustments, connections and shaped cuts that fitted work requires.
For suitable timber connections, a joiner cuts matching pockets into the pieces being joined. A fitted timber tenon connects and aligns them. Our Festool joiners help create accurately positioned joints for assembled woodwork, with the connection chosen to suit the piece being made.
A planer removes controlled, thin shavings of wood. We use our Festool planers for adjustments to suitable timber edges and components when a piece needs a more precise fit. It is a different task from sanding: shaping the fit first, then preparing the surface.
Curves, notches and shaped cuts call for a different approach from a straight guide-rail cut. Our Festool jigsaws let us follow these shapes, with the blade and cutting method matched to the material and the detail being formed.
Some cuts are small, awkward or close to an existing finish. Our Festool oscillating multitools help with localised trimming and access where a larger saw is not the right choice. That control is useful when adapting new work around parts of the home being retained.
Drilling a clean hole, driving a fixing and working into masonry are not the same task. Our Festool drilling and fastening equipment lets us choose the approach that suits the material and connection.
For drilling holes and controlled screwdriving, with the bit, speed and driving force matched to the work. This matters when fitting components and hardware that need careful positioning.
For appropriate masonry drilling, using suitable bits and fixings for the material. The wall or substrate determines the method—not simply the availability of a more powerful tool.
For screwdriving tasks that benefit from additional driving force. They complement our drills rather than replace them; delicate hardware and finish work still require the right level of control.
The equipment is only part of the story. The finished staircase, smooth ceiling and carefully fitted interior are what you live with every day.
Refinishing, new tread caps and updated railings, with attention to the surfaces and details you see up close.
From textured ceilings to prepared, painted surfaces, with dust control built into the work.
Bringing preparation, cutting, fitting and finishing together across the home.
Renovation creates dust, and extraction does not capture every particle. Our approach combines collection at compatible tools with protection, containment where needed and cleanup. We plan the setup around the work and the surrounding rooms rather than promising that no dust will be produced.
Removing a finish, smoothing a broad surface and working around a detailed edge are different tasks. The machine, pad and abrasive need to suit the material and the next stage of finishing. Some areas also need hand preparation rather than a powered sander.
We consider the material, the work required, access and the surfaces being retained. A ceiling-sanding setup differs from the tools needed to fit trim, refinish stairs or drill into masonry. We bring the equipment that suits the job.
Send a few photos, your location and a description of what you would like changed. You do not need to know which tools or preparation methods are required; we will review the work with you and discuss the next steps.
