Very pleased
Interior painting can be a very cost-effective means to brighten up the inside of your home. Painting is often done as a DIY job, but skilled painters and decorators can make sure the optimal finish and make sure that your redecorating is going to look its best for as long as possible.
The key to effective painting is preparation. Carefully decide on a paint shade or consider employing two shades to produce an accent wall. Also take into consideration the sheen, as paints can come in various finishes like gloss, satin, egg shell or matte. Gloss and satin will perform better in higher traffic spaces. There is a huge variety of suppliers and paints available to buy so be sure to shop around to find the paint that's ideal for your area.
Interior painters and decorators can supply you with lots of suggestions about paint and help you select the perfect colour palette for your internal rooms.
The average cost of a Painting and decorating is £800. Costs vary based upon the materials and the contractor chosen. The upper price range can be as high as £920. The material costs are mainly around £200

The London Borough of Lewisham is a London borough in south-east London, England and forms part of Inner London. The borough wasestablished in 1965, by the London Government Act 1963, as an amalgamation of the former area of the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham along with the Metropolitan Borough of Deptford, which had been created in 1900 as divisions of the County of London. Nevertheless, minor boundary changes have occurred since its creation. The most considerable amendments were made in 1996, when the former area of the Royal Docks in Deptford was transferred from the London Borough of Greenwich.
The principal settlement in the borough is Lewisham. The borough covers an overall area of around 13.57 square miles. It's encompassed by the Royal Borough of Greenwich to the east, the London Borough of Bromley to the south plus the London Borough of Southwark to the west. The River Thames forms a short section of northern boundary together with the Isle of Dogs within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Deptford Creek, Pool River, River Quaggy and River Ravensbourne pass by way of the borough.
In accordance with population estimates made during 2014, Lewisham is a borough with around 291933 permanent residents. Around 43 per cent of homes are owner-occupiers. The Prime Meridian passes through Lewisham. Blackheath, Goldsmiths, University of London and Millwall F.C. are positioned inside the borough.

Can You Paint Over A Wallpaper?
According to some painting and decoration experts, painting over a wallpaper can never produce a result that’ll be as good as painting on a blank or naked wall. However in the event whereby there’s a pressing need to quickly beautify a room, it’ll be totally understandable if you don’t want to go through the hassle of the time consuming old wallpaper removal process.
Therefore, the short and simple answer to this question is yes, it’s absolutely possible to paint over a wallpaper and get a good outcome so far you don’t rush the process. To ensure your success if you want to paint over a wallpaper, there’s also the need to use the right tools and techniques. And just like any other DIY project, proper preparation before commencement is key.
If you’re going to paint over a wallpaper, many of the tools you’ll need to acquire are the standard painting and decorating products. This means that they can be easily procured at many DIY stores. To paint over a wallpaper, you’ll need a paint roller, top quality paint brushes, joint compound ( you’ll only need this in situations whereby your wallpaper is damaged or peeling), oil based primer, tape, sandpaper, paint ( can be water, solvent or oil based paints) as well as drop clothes ( for the protection of your furnitures).
As a rule of thumb, if you can easily remove the existing wallpaper, then you probably should before you start to paint the walls. However, if removing the wallpaper seems to be a pain or can significantly damage your wall, then it’ll be smart to simply paint over it. But before you proceed, you must also note that painting over the wallpaper will make it even harder to remove later in the future.
You should always wait until plaster is dry before painting. The time this will take varies depending on the room and property, but in general, it will take about a week. Your plasterer will tell you how long it is best to leave it before covering or painting their work.
How To Paint A Room
Painting is a joyful task and it’s quite obvious why it’s one of the most popular DIY projects. Whether you’re painting as an experienced DIYer or as a newbie, this step by step guide will put you in the right direction.

This way, you get to save some time and additional money that would have resulted from possible costly errors.
So just before you head right into the task, there’s the need to determine the type of pain finish you would love to use which is to choose a colour. Now let’s get started!
• Prepare the room
✓ Remove all objects as much as you can from the room and cover the remaining furniture or objects with a sheet.
✓ Fill all holes on the surface to make for an even finish.
✓ Wash the wall with the help of a damp sponge. A sugar soap or diluted washing up liquid will work just fine.
✓ Tape the edges of objects you do not wish to paint like light switches, plug sockets and the likes.
• This step can be skipped if painting on an existing paint, but it’ll advisable to dilute small quantity of your selected paint to patch prime the holes that you’ve filled. If you have a large number of holes that was filled, then priming them would be smart.
• Mix or stir the paint thoroughly in a paint kettle to ensure an even and perfect mix.
• Now you’re ready to start painting! Start from the edges to form like a frame to work within with your roller. Once done, leave for about 4 to 6 hours to dry.
• For the second coat, simply repeat the above step to complete your painting project.
