Improving your home in the order of home decorating can be quite a stimulating process when you are armed with the knowledge of how to find a skilled professional local painter and decorator and how to secure the best possible outcome. The most foremost aspect of any paint and decorating job, whether internal or external painting; is the preparation?

Safety is a key aspect for external House Painting. It is fundamental to use the proper access equipment and to avoid over stretching one body limits. It is probable that extendable ladders will be required to perform the redecoration of the higher areas of your house or property. Time spent on preparation is essential as most surfaces require some attention.

For wooden surfaces; any paint that is flaking or peeling should be scraped away, and rotten portions of timber must be removed. When this has been completed it should then be filled with a two-part wood filler. A professional will prime any knots and any bare timber, followed by any top coats of paint. A reputable tradesman should use the best possible materials within a client’ budget as they are likely to last longer.

Repairing any missing cement on external wall coverings, mortar or masonry is the key. Several coats of masonry paint should then be applied to ensure a better-quality finish.

For internal decoration, the preparation will vary between ceilings, walls and woodwork all will need to be painted after being patched and filled where necessary with usually a water-based paint applied once they have been sanded and prepared. Walls will need to be filled and sanded; unscrewing all sockets and switches from the walls. Coloured water-based paint can then be applied. The likelihood is that the walls in older properties may require lining or skim coating. This must be completed prior to painting or wall papering.
General advice for ensuring a professional finish when decorating your home will be to fully sheet up prior to work commencing. This will make certain that your furnishings, personal possessions and flooring will remain paint free.
