Painting / Decorating in Orpington

Interior painting can be a very inexpensive means to rejuvenate the interior of your home. Painting is sometimes carried out as a DIY project, but expert painters and decorators can make sure of a flawless appearance and ensure that your decoration will look its best for as long as possible.

 

 

You may spend longer preparing to paint than actually painting. It's important to wash and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings before painting, along with to mask off any regions that should not be painted over such as skirting, architrave, plug sockets and light switches. Cover up household furniture and carpets or flooring in the room with sheets to protect against any spills. If you are painting internally, apply a primer coat as a base layer followed by a number of coats of paint, giving each coat time to dry in between.

 

Interior painters and decorators can provide you with plenty of advice about paint and help you find the best colour palette for your interior rooms.

Orpington

Orpington is a rural town and electoral ward in the London Borough of Bromley in Greater London, positioned at the south eastern side of London's urban sprawl. The London Plan determines the town as one of the 35 central centres in Greater London. Until the establishment of Greater London in 1965, Orpington was administratively in the county of Kent, which remains the postal county for the town. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the population of Orpington is around 15311. Within this population, 52 percent were female and 48 percent were male, with the average age being 42, which is just above the national average age of 40. A sizeable quantity of shops can be located on the High Street and in the Walnuts Shopping Centre. A general market is additionally found in the town, which is open for three days a week. Several restaurants, coffee shops and public houses are additionally spread around the area. Orpington contains a number of regional landmarks. The Parish Church, 'All Saints', was endowed by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1173. It has gone through some changes over the years, most visibly the loss of the tower and steeple after its damage in a storm in 1809, in addition to undergoing extension work in 1957. The town is also home to a medieval hall house, The Priory, which is believed to have been constructed in the 11th century. Received by the Orpington Urban District Council in 1947, it was used as a museum for over 50 years. Its garden creates an alluring public park with a natural pond, the source of the River Cray.

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.

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 much do painters and decorators charge?

How Much Do Painters And Decorators Charge?

If you’re thinking about painting your home or property, then one of the first things that crosses the mind is the amount charged by painter or decorators to carry out the project. However just like any other home improvement projects and as with most tradesmen, the amount charged by a painter and decorator largely varies from job to job depending on a plethora of factors. These factors include your location, the urgency at which you need the job done and whether or not a specialist equipment would be required.

For painters and decorators, one of the biggest influencing factors that determines the price to be charged is the size of the room. For instance, if you have a large room to be painted, it’s definitely going to cost you more than a smaller room. And same applies to multiple rooms when compared to single room. In other words, to get a more accurate cost estimate from your tradesman, you’ll need to have a good idea of the size of your room or rooms. So let’s take a closer look!

✓ Painting a mid-sized room. The question here is, how do you know if your room is medium sized? The room will have a size of about 3.5m by 5m or a room that can conveniently allow up to 6 to 8 people. The price range is between £240 to £410.

✓ Wallpapering a mid-sized room. This uses the logic as painting a mid-sized room but the price can differ due to difference in materials used. The price range here is between £204 to £420.

✓ Painting a large ceiling. Painting a ceiling is very similar to painting a wall but its not as straightforward and will consume more time. The price ranges from £286 to £5476.

This is a very simple DIY job that should be completed in little time, however it’s also perhaps the most important step of the entire painting project. Hence, if you lack the confidence to pull this off, then we’d recommend employing a painting expert who can guarantee the best results for help. In this guide, we’ll should you how you can prepare your wall for painting.

✓ Cleaning. There is no single best way to properly clean a wall, but most walls will be just fine with a sponge and warm water. 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.
