Painting / Decorating in Leicestershire

Interior painting can be an extremely economical technique to reinvigorate the interior of your house. Painting is often completed as a DIY job, but qualified painters and decorators can ensure a perfect finish and guarantee that your decoration will look its best for as long as possible.

 

 

You will usually spend longer getting ready to paint than actually painting. It's essential to clean and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings before painting, and to mask off any areas which should not be painted over such as skirting, architrave, electrical sockets and light switches. Cover up furniture and carpets or flooring in the area with dust sheets to catch any drops. If you're painting internally, use a primer coat as a base then several layers of paint, leaving each coat time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can offer you plenty of advice about paint and help you choose the ideal colour scheme for your interior spaces.
