Interior painting can be a really low-cost means to rejuvenate the inside of your home. Painting is often done as a DIY job, but professional painters and decorators can assure an immaculate appearance and guarantee that your decoration will last as long as possible.
You might devote more time to getting ready to paint than actually painting. It's crucial to clean and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings prior to painting, along with to mask off any areas that should not be painted over like skirting, architrave, power sockets and light switches. Wrap furniture and carpets or flooring in the area with sheets to protect from any drops. If you are painting internally, use a primer coat as a base followed by multiple layers of paint, giving each coat time to dry in between.
Interior painters and decorators can provide you with plenty of recommendations about paint and help you pick the ideal colour scheme for your interior spaces.

England's capital is now recovering from a successful Olympic Games and this substantial multi-million pounds venture, coupled with many property strategies, has modernised the city post-war. In spite of this, there are still plenty of buildings providing an insight to the past and Tudor, Georgian and Victorian houses line the roadways. With a contrast of the aged and the brand-new, there are lots of plans householders tackle, from energy efficiency renovations to household extensions.

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.
Interior painters and decorators will offer a wide range of services. These range from painting and wallpapering to other decorating jobs such as fitting skirting or architrave. Some painters and decorators will be trained to plaster as well, however, you should always ask them about this and not assume they will all be able to.
Yes, painters and decorators can repair stained, damp or mouldy walls. Usually, this process will involve stripping away the damaged paint and treating the area with specialist paint. After this is done, the damaged sections can be repainted to match the room.
We can help you get more painting and decorating work with our qualified job leads and boost your business.
