What types of surface preparation tools are available

Wallpaper steamer

Wallpaper steamers are professional machines that have a water tank and produce steam which you can use to penetrate & soak wallpaper by pressing the steam plate up against the wall. The steam softens the coverings & loosens adhesives, allowing you to pull or scrape off wallpaper with ease.

Hot air gun

This electric gun applies heat to painted & varnished surfaces, causing the finish to soften, bubble & sag. After a few seconds, you can easily scrape the coat away with a standard scraper without damaging the surface underneath.
