Interior painting can be an extremely cost-effective means to refresh the inside of your home. Painting is sometimes performed as a DIY job, but qualified painters and decorators can ensure an immaculate finish and make sure that your decoration is going to look its best for as long as possible.
You might devote more time to getting ready to paint than actually painting. It's vital to wash and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings before painting, and to mask off any areas which should not be painted over like skirting, architrave, electrical sockets and light switches. Cover up home furniture and any carpets or flooring in the room with sheets to collect any splashes. When painting internally, make use of a primer coat as a base layer and then multiple coats of paint, allowing each layer time to dry in between.
Interior painters and decorators can provide you with lots of guidance about paint and help you pick the most suitable colour scheme for your interior 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 Newham is a London borough within east London. It is approximately 5 miles (8 km) east of the City of London, north of the River Thames. The borough was created by merging the former area of the Essex county borough of East Ham along with the county borough of West Ham as a borough of the newly formed Greater London, on 1 April 1965. Green Street and Boundary Road mark the former boundary between the two. North Woolwich also became a part of the borough, which was previously in the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich, south of the River Thames inside the County of London, in addition to a smaller area west of the River Roding that had previously been part of the Municipal Borough of Barking.
The borough covers an overall area of 13.98 square miles. In line with population estimates produced in the middle of 2014, Newham is a borough with a permanent population of around 324322 people. As outlined by the 2011 Census, Newham has the youngest general population in the nation. Transport in Newham is undergoing a major upgrade, together with the completed Docklands Light Railway and Jubilee Line Extension, and new or enhanced stations at Canning Town, West Ham and Stratford. The Docklands Light Railway was extended to serve London City Airport.
Newham was among the six host boroughs for the 2012 Summer Olympics and contains many of the Olympic Park which includes the Olympic Stadium.

Your painter and decorator will carry out most of the preparation work for your project. You can help them by ensuring that the area is clean and tidy. Also, remove as many personal items and pieces of furniture from the area as possible and make sure all your internal doors are firmly closed just in case of dust from rubbing down.
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. However, if you lack the confidence to carry out this task, then we’d recommend you get in touch with a seasoned professional who can guarantee the best results for help. 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.
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.
