Painting & Decorating Frequently Asked Questions in Leicester

Decorators can work either way. Most customers prefer the arranged trade team to supply professional-grade paint (such as Dulux Trade or Crown Trade) because it offers better coverage and durability, which they can tint to your chosen colour. If you prefer to supply specialised paint yourself (e.g. Farrow & Ball), just let us know.
For standard interior walls, decorators typically apply one primer/mist coat (on new plaster) followed by two full coats of emulsion to ensure a solid, even colour. For woodwork, they apply a primer/undercoat and one or two topcoats of satinwood, eggshell, or gloss.
Preparation is the key to a long-lasting finish. Decorators will fill small cracks and holes in walls, sand down rough areas, caulk gaps between woodwork and walls, sand and prime timber surfaces, and mask off areas with tape to ensure clean lines.
Exterior painting is highly dependent on weather conditions. It cannot be done in temperatures below 5°C, or during wet, damp, or highly humid conditions. Most exterior masonry and woodwork painting is scheduled between April and October.
Yes, the painting teams we arrange will use clean dust sheets and plastic sheeting to cover flooring, carpets, and large furniture items. However, we ask that you clear the room of small items, electronics, and ornaments before they arrive.
Yes. Decorators can remove old wallpaper using steamers and stripping tools, clean the walls of paste residue, and sand them down to prepare the surface for either painting or new wallpaper.
Kitchens and bathrooms require specialised paint (often satin or eggshell) that is moisture-resistant, mould-resistant, and easy to wipe clean to handle steam and grease.
Yes. We coordinate with commercial painting contractors who can work evenings or weekends to paint offices or shops, ensuring your business operations are not interrupted.
