Painting / Decorating in London

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.

London

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.

FAQs

What sort of jobs will an interior painter and decorator carry out?

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.

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.

How much for a painter to paint a room?

How Much For A Painter To Paint A Room?

If you’re looking to have your room painted, it’s only normal to get an idea of how much it’s going to cost so you can set a budget and start planning. As you would have expected, the cost of having a room painted is dependent on a wide array of influencing factors such as the size of your room, the type of paint to be used, your location and many more. As a result, providing a single and accurate answer to this question is almost impossible.

Generally, a regular 4 metres by 3 metres room will take just a couple of days to be fully painted including both the coving and woodwork. Outside London, most painters and decorators would charge within the range of £150 to £200 per day meaning that you’ll have a total labour cost within the range of £300 to £400. What’s more? You’d also have to consider the price of the paint to be used which is usually around £50. If you add all the costs together you’ll get an average cost of about £400 to £500.

Unfortunately, paint does not last an eternity. Therefore, there’ll come a time where you’d have to consider painting your room all over again. It may seem unwise to employ the services of a professional painter and decorator especially if you’re on a budget. However, in truth, calling in a professional can go a long way to save you time, stress and money. In other words, even if you’re worried about the cost, a professional painter is still your best bet in the long run as they know exactly what to do to ensure you derive maximum benefits from your painting project.

How long should I wait after plastering to paint my walls?

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.
