Painting / Decorating in March

Interior painting can be a really reasonably priced technique to brighten up the interior of your home. Painting is sometimes undertaken as a DIY job, but skilled painters and decorators can make sure a great appearance and guarantee that your redecorating will last as long as possible.

 

 

You will often spend longer getting ready to paint than actually painting. It's highly recommended to wash and prepare all walls and ceilings before painting, as well as to mask off any regions which shouldn't be painted such as skirting, architrave, electrical sockets and light switches. Cover up home furniture as well as any carpets or flooring in the area with dust sheets to protect against any drops. When painting internally, make use of a primer coat as a base followed by several layers of paint, giving each layer time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can provide you with plenty of recommendations about paint and help you pick the most suitable colour palette for your internal spaces.

March

March is a Fenland market town and civil parish in the Isle of Ely region of Cambridgeshire, England. March was the county town of the Isle of Ely, which was a separate administrative county in between 1889 and 1965. It is now the administrative centre of Fenland District Council. The same as many Fenland towns, March was originally an island surrounded by marshes. It occupied the second largest 'island' in the Great Level. As the land drained, the town developed and flourished as a trading and religious centre. It was also a minor port before emerging as, in more recent times, a market town and an administrative and railway centre. March is positioned on the banks of the old course of the navigable River Nene, and today mainly used by pleasure boats. The town's progression took place most swiftly when it ended up being an important train centre. It had a significant junction in between the Great Eastern Railway and Great Northern Railway at March railway station, allowing for ease of access to and from London, Cambridge and Ely. In particular, March Royal Mail sorting office, formerly a full post office dates from 1936, is uncommon in that it is among a few post offices that display the royal cypher from the brief reign of Edward VIII. There are many shopping options for the 19042 homeowners of March. March Town Centre is the home of a vast array of independent and commercial chain stores. A retail park opened in 2008, extending the capacity to go shopping in superstores and grocery stores. Littered across the town are also numerous eateries, bars and public houses. For all your home upgrades, make sure to make use of trusted experts in March to make certain of quality.

✓ 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.

• 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.

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.

can you paint over wallpaper?

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.

Which type of paint should I use?

There are lots of paints that are suitable for different areas of your property. In general, gloss and eggshell paints should be used in high traffic areas, whereas matte paints are suitable for lower traffic areas. Professional painters and decorators can give you advice on the most suitable types of paints.
