Working on painting in Bandra
Bandra splits sharply between old low-rise buildings near the reclamation and sea-facing towers. The sea-facing stock takes salt-laden air continuously, which accelerates rebar corrosion and shortens the life of any external coating — we specify differently here than two kilometres inland. Heritage-precinct buildings in parts of Bandra West carry additional restrictions on external alterations.
Our standard internal system is two coats of putty, sanded between, one coat of primer, and two finish coats — with the manufacturer's recommended recoat interval actually observed rather than compressed. Existing loose or flaking material is scraped back to a sound surface first, and any damp patch is diagnosed before painting rather than covered. Externally we use the appropriate exterior grade with a dedicated exterior primer. Furniture is sheeted, floors are covered, and the site is cleaned at the end of every day.
Specification for Bandra projects
Repainting the whole flat is often unnecessary
If only two walls have gone bad and the rest is sound, we will quote those two walls and match the existing shade rather than selling you the whole flat. Matching is not always perfect on an older finish, and we will tell you honestly before we start whether the patch will read or not.

Paint failure is almost never the paint. It is the preparation and the number of coats actually applied.

Waterproof paint is not waterproofing. It helps a sound wall resist water; it will not stop a wall that is being fed.
