Painting / Decorating in East Midlands

Interior painting can be a very cost-effective technique to rejuvenate the interior of your house. Painting is sometimes carried out as a DIY project, but professional painters and decorators can guarantee a flawless finish and ensure that your redecorating is going to last as long as possible.

 

 

You will usually devote more time to getting ready to paint than actually painting. It's highly recommended to wash and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings before painting, together with to mask off any regions which shouldn't be painted such as skirting, architrave, electrical sockets and light switches. Protect household furniture as well as carpets or flooring in the room with sheets to protect against any drops. When painting inside, use a primer coat as a base and then multiple coats of paint, giving each coat time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can supply you with lots of advice about paint and help you find the ideal colour palette for your internal rooms.

For walls that have been stained with oil or grime such as kitchen walls, you can apply grease cutting detergent and water mixture to wash and follow up with warm water to clean the residues and a damp cloth wiping to finish it off. Then leave to dry off properly.

✓ Remove mildrew. Wipe out mildrew using a sponge and solution that’s three to four parts water to one part bleach. Apply this solution and scrub the affected surface with a soft brush.

✓ Sanding. This step is only meant for walls with rough spots on its surface. Dull the uneven spots with a sandpaper, wipe away the dust and leave to dry. Use a fine grit sandpaper to sand the surfaces and let it dry properly.

✓ Priming. Prime the wall to get the most out of your paint. They work to disguise imperfections and create a smooth surface on which you can work on.
