Painting / Decorating in Cardiff

Interior painting can be a really cost-effective way to refresh the inside of your property. Painting is sometimes completed as a DIY job, but qualified painters and decorators can make sure of an immaculate finish and ensure that your decoration will look its best for as long as possible.

 

 

You might devote more time to preparing to paint than actually painting. It's advisable to wash and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings before painting, in addition to to mask off any areas which should not be painted such as skirting, architrave, electrical sockets and light switches. Cover up household furniture and carpets or flooring in the room with sheets to catch any splashes. If you are painting internally, employ a primer coat as a base followed by multiple coats of paint, leaving each layer time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can give you lots of guidance about paint and help you select the perfect colour scheme for your internal rooms.
