Painting / Decorating in Chigwell

Interior painting can be a really economical technique to refresh the interior of your house. Painting is often undertaken as a DIY job, but qualified painters and decorators can make sure the best finish and guarantee that your redecorating will look its best for as long as possible.

 

 

You will typically spend more time preparing to paint than actually painting. It's essential to clean and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings prior to painting, as well as to mask off any areas that shouldn't be painted over such as skirting, architrave, plug sockets and light switches. Protect furnishings and any carpets or flooring in the area with dust sheets to catch any spills. When painting inside, use a primer coat as a base then multiple layers of paint, giving each layer time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can provide you with plenty of guidance about paint and help you choose the most suitable colour palette for your interior spaces.
