Why choose ACT Canberra paint stripping services at United Trade?

Why is removing old or faded paint important? To get a perfect finish, it is very important to remove old or faded paint. Why is DIY not recommended for paint removal?

We rely on tried and tested methods and professional-quality machinery to effectively and safely remove coatings without damaging the substrate. From our heritage restorations to large-scale industrial paint stripping, our experience is at your disposal to prepare your surface for what is yet to come.

Why Do You Have to Strip Paint Before Repainting or Remodeling

Old or failing paint is a pain for so many reasons—eye sores, compromised performance, reduced life span for the new coat that you apply over it. Chipped, flaking, or peeling paint usually covers up the results of rust, exposure to moisture, or some kind of underlying surface imperfection that will need to be corrected before the new paint (or other treatment) can be done. It provides you with the chance to catch these issues before they become long-term problems.

Our paint removal services work on concrete, brick, steel, timber, and masonry surfaces. Whether it’s an exterior commercial building to be renovated, internal walls to be repainted, or metal structures to be treated, our dedicated team will clean the surface to remove all old coatings and finishes. This results in better paint adhesion, a stronger finish, and a professional look.

How Our Paint Stripping Process Works?

We will customize our methods at United Trade to meet the surface, condition of the coating, and end objective of the project. We are equipped with Chemical, Mechanical, Abrasive, and Heat-based methods specifically chosen to meet the needs of the site and environment.

Chemical stripper – this is a solution that melts the paint, making it so easy to remove. This is great for detailed surfaces and/or heritage work where mechanical abrading could be too harsh. For larger industrial jobs, we’ll use an abrasive blasting or grinding method to remove stubborn coatings in no time and ensure a consistent finish.

All along the way, safety is our paramount concern. We take every measure to protect the local environment, contain dust and debris, and ensure our processes comply with all environmental and safety guidelines in Canberra and the ACT area. Our professionals handle every aspect, from containment to cleanup and final surface prep, so you are left with a clean, paintable surface.

Advantages of Opting for Professional Paint Removal

There are many important reasons to choose the services of a professional for your paint removal needs. First, it ensures consistent, complete results that aren’t possible with regular tools or store-bought paint removers. State-of-the-art methods enable reaching into sculptured products, stripping away multiple coats of paint, all while preserving the original material.

Second, professional strippers are simply faster and safer. Hazardous materials such as lead are present in a lot of old paints, particularly in older Canberra homes and commercial properties. We are trained to handle and dispose of these materials safely, saving you the inherent health risks and potential regulatory problems.

And by working with United Trade, you save time, labor, and money. If a surface is not stripped properly, not only can a paint job fail prematurely, but it can also fail expensively. Your repaint or renovation is only as good as its base!
