Painting / Decorating in Ferndown

Interior painting can be a very cost-effective method to reinvigorate the interior of your property. Painting is often performed as a DIY project, but expert painters and decorators can guarantee a perfect appearance and ensure that your redecorating will last as long as possible.

 

 

You may devote more time to preparing to paint than actually painting. It's critical to wash and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings before painting, and to mask off any regions that shouldn't be painted over like skirting, architrave, power sockets and light switches. Wrap furnishings as well as any carpets or flooring in the room with sheets to protect from any drops. When painting inside, make use of a primer coat as a base followed by a number of coats of paint, leaving each layer time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can give you lots of recommendations about paint and help you select the ideal colour scheme for your interior spaces.

✓ Wash the wall with the help of a damp sponge. A sugar soap or diluted washing up liquid will work just fine.
