How a patch reads invisible in Prospect

Damage is cut back to sound sheet, because patching over crumble never lasts. From there the patch is set, feathered wide and sanded until the wall reads flat once it is painted, which is the standard the finish is held to.

Door-handle holes, dints, hairline cracks and water-stained ceiling sections are all part of the work at Prospect.

Water-stained sections are cut out and sheeted only once the source of the water is dealt with, so the repair is not wasted.
