Barnstaple — frequently asked questions
- How long does a nicotine stain removal job in Barnstaple take?
- Most single rooms in Barnstaple are completed in a day. A heavily affected whole property usually takes two to four working days depending on size, ceiling height and the number of surfaces being treated.
- Will the staining come back through fresh paint?
- No. Tar bleeds through paint when it hasn't been removed and sealed first — that's exactly the step we handle. Once we've degreased, neutralised and sealed the surface, paint applied on top stays clean.
- Do you remove the smoke smell as well as the stains?
- Yes. The yellow-brown stain and the smell come from the same residue, so we treat both together. We neutralise odour at the source rather than masking it with fragrance.
- Can you redecorate after the treatment?
- We can. Most clients in Barnstaple either have us hand the property back ready for their own decorator, or ask us to handle the redecoration as part of the same visit.
- Do you work on rental properties between tenancies?
- Frequently — letting agents and landlords in Barnstaple are a large share of our work. We can usually slot in around a tenancy turnaround and have the property lettable again quickly.
