For some reason, that no one seems to be able to answer, the majority of clients assume that by asking for two pack, they are also asking for a top quality application of that product.

Specialist tradesmen

Here at Simmonds Polishing we are acutely aware of the need to be able to cater to all the coatings needs of our clients. Even though we operate in a niche market of joinery surface coatings, that niche is quite varied in the many different products we apply and the way in which they are applied.

Single pack verses Two pack

Every now and then we are asked if we can offer a more economical price on polishing by using a single pack clear lacquer instead of a two-pack clear lacquer.

The thought in the mind of the client is that single pack lacquer is cheaper to purchase and easier to apply so cost savings can be made in both purchasing materials and in the application process.

Research and development project

At Simmonds Polishing we are often asked to develop finishing systems to suit the specific individual requirements of a client. Recently we undertook a two-week research and development project for a very unusual project.

Research and Development

Recently Craig spent 5 weeks in Europe touring, and researching lacquer finishes. His travels took him to several furniture and polishing companies who apply similar lacquers to us.

I don’t like the colour

Quite a few years ago we were contracted to polish a large office refit for a major Australian company. Our cabinet maker client was installing quite a few hundred square meters of wall panelling, doors and associated joinery, over several floors of an office building in Melbourne CBD

Records of every job

As part of our ongoing commitment to offering the best in customer service, Simmonds Polishing keeps records of every project we undertake.

Often we see a panel or two come back needing repairs. It may just be a small scratch or perhaps something more serious. Sometimes a client may supply additional joinery that must match the original painting we did previously.
