Painting / Decorating in Wallingford

Interior painting can be an extremely cheap means to refresh the interior of your house. Painting is often performed as a DIY job, but expert painters and decorators can assure a perfect finish and ensure that your decoration is going to last as long as possible.

 

 

You will usually devote more time to preparing to paint than actually painting. It is critical to wash and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings prior to painting, in addition to to mask off any regions that shouldn't be painted over such as skirting, architrave, plug sockets and light switches. Protect furnishings and any carpets or flooring in the room with dust sheets to catch any stains. When painting inside, use a primer coat as a base layer then several coats of paint, giving each layer time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can present you with lots of advice about paint and help you find the most suitable colour scheme for your interior spaces.
