Painting / Decorating in Oldham

Interior painting can be a really cost-effective technique to brighten up the interior of your home. Painting is sometimes carried out as a DIY project, but expert painters and decorators can make sure an immaculate appearance and ensure that your decoration will look its best for as long as possible.

 

 

You may spend longer 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 such as skirting, architrave, power sockets and light switches. Wrap furnishings and any carpets or flooring in the room with sheets to catch any stains. If you're painting internally, apply a primer coat as a base layer followed by a number of coats of paint, allowing each coat time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can supply you with plenty of guidance about paint and help you select the right colour scheme for your interior spaces.

How To Prep Walls For Painting

To ensure that your paint project doesn’t end up being disastrous, the most important place to start is from room preparation which includes cleaning, sanding as well as priming the walls before painting. Not every wall will require to go through all the preparation steps as all walls are unique and some are in better conditions than others.

In this guide, we’ll should you how you can prepare your wall for painting.

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.

✓ Priming. Prime the wall to get the most out of your paint. They work to disguise imperfections and create a smooth surface on which you can work on.
