🎨 Why We Don’t Offer Labour-Only Painting Services

At HMC Works, we are committed to delivering long-lasting, high-quality results on every project. While we appreciate the opportunity to quote for your project, we regret that we do not offer labour-only services.

Here’s why:

🛠️ A Quality Paint Job Is More Than Just Paint

Painting is not just about applying colour to a surface—it is a specialised trade that involves:

Thorough surface preparation
Careful compatibility testing
The use of professional tools and materials

This holistic approach allows us to uphold our workmanship guarantee and ensure every project meets our high-quality standards

🧰 What Goes Into a Professional Paint Job?

A professional result requires more than just paint and labour. Each project includes:

🧴 Primers and bonding liquids
💧 Damp-proofing and waterproofing agents
🎯 Drop sheets, masking tape, brushes, rollers, and tools
🦺 Safety gear and protective equipment

These components are essential for durability, consistency, and performance—and they’re all part of our full-service offering.

🖌️ “Labour Only – I Have the Paint”

We often receive requests like “I already have the paint, I just need someone to apply it.” While we understand the intention to save costs, here’s why we don’t provide labour-only services:

🔍 Paint compatibility matters: Not all paints are suitable for the surfaces or primers we use. Incompatibility can lead to peeling, bubbling, and early failure.
🧪 No control, no guarantee: If we can’t verify the origin or quality of the paint, we can’t guarantee the result.
🛠️ Tools, prep products, and techniques: Even with supplied paint, we must still use our own materials and systems to ensure correct application.

We are proud to offer a guaranteed, professional finish, and to do that, we need full control over the products and process.

💼 Why We Offer a Full-Service Solution

By supplying both labour and materials, we can:

✔️ Ensure product compatibility
✔️ Maintain full control of the quality
✔️ Honour our workmanship guarantee
✔️ Minimise risks and avoid costly failures

Our full-service model allows us to deliver long-term value, not just a short-term fix

🤝 Let’s Get It Right from the Start

If you’re planning a painting or waterproofing project, we encourage you to discuss your expectations with us before the site inspection. We’re here to help you achieve the best result for your property—safely, reliably, and professionally.

Thank you for considering HMC Works. We remain at your service for any future projects requiring a trusted, end-to-end solution.
