How to Prepare Surfaces for Painting and Decorating - Practical Advice
To achieve a first-class painting and decorating finish correct preparation is imperative. Professional painters and decorators estimate 70% of the final finish is based on the preparation. Correct planning will, more than likely, save you time, effort, and money in the future.
Before you start any decorating project, ensure you clear the work area. This will prevent paint from accidentally splattering on any furniture etc. It will also allow you more room to work and give area to place your equipment. If you are unable to clear the room completely, push any furniture to the centre of the room, this will give you better access to the necessary walls. Remember to remove any curtains and pictures. If possible, take down curtain poles. Cover any light switches and sockets with masking tape.
Paint will not adhere correctly to unclean surfaces. Additionally, the finish will be compromised as any marks or dirt will show through the final finish. Therefore, the surface you are going to paint needs to be free of dirt and dust. It is recommended to hoover the surface before wiping it down with a sponge and soapy water.
The next stage is to fill any cracks, dents or holes in the surface with filler. Remove any loose plaster or debris from any cracks and lightly dampen. This will allow a more secure bond to form with the filler and stop it drying out too quickly. Apply the filler with a filling knife or scraper pressing it firmly into the holes and cracks. Once it has dried sand down until an even surface is achieved. Make sure to give the whole surface a sand down before painting this will allow for improved paint adhesion. Don’t forget to hoover up any dust once you have sanded, this could get in between the surface an paint bond and ruin the finish.
Once these stages have been completed you should be ready to paint and decorate. To achieve a first-class finish that is durable we always recommend calling in the professionals. Why not give us a call today on 0115 671 6170
Factors to Contemplate when Painting and Decorating your Home
Painting and decorating your home is probably the most cost effective way of refreshing and brightening up your living space. It is amazing how adding some colour can alter the personality and mood of a room. Not to mention make it feel cleaner and brighter. Below are some factors to consider for your next painting and decorating project. As always, we recommend calling in professional painters and decorators to enable you to achieve that first-class look you desire.
Picking a Paint Colour – Always consider the dimensions of the space you will be decorating. Also take in to account the amount of natural light the room receives during the day. Ask for a number of opinions or take the advice of a local expert. Remember, colours can alter the mood and feel of a room. Try and integrate more relaxing colours in to your bedrooms, bathrooms and other areas you look to unwind.
Test the Paint Colour – It is almost impossible to predict how each paint colour will look on a surface since each workspace is unique. Buy tester paints for several different colours you like. Paint a small area and allow to dry. Assess how the colour looks with the natural light at different points in the day. Commit to a colour scheme once you are satisfied.
Choose the Correct Paint Finish – The composition of paint has a large impact on how the finish will look on your walls. As well as hiding imperfections, the paint finish can also accentuate them if chosen incorrectly. The range of popular finishes include matt, eggshell, silk/satin and gloss. As always, ask your local painter and decorator if you are unsure.
- Matt – Matt paint provides a dull and nonreflective finish. The paint soaks up any light it receives. This makes it suitable for surfaces with a number of imperfections. The disadvantage is this surface finish can stain easily
- Eggshell – Eggshell paint provides a subtle sheen. It is durable and does not pick up dirt easily. The surface finish is similar to that of an eggshell.
- Silk/Satin – Silk/satin paints give a higher sheen finish than matt paint. The paint is more reflective which helps give the surface finish a slight polished look. This paint is wipeable. Therefore, it is a popular choice for walls and ceilings in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Gloss – This type of finish is common when painting wood and metal surfaces. The paint reflects a large amount of light giving a high sheen and glowing finish. Gloss is best used on perfectly prepared surfaces. This finish is highly durable and resistant
Calculate the amount of paint you will need. Not having enough paint or purchasing too much can be frustrating. Attempt to calculate the square footage of the surface before buying your paint. In addition, consider how many coates the workspace will need. If you are priming the workspace beforehand one coat may be sufficient. Extra coates could be required if the walls are not primed.
To achieve an outstanding and durable finish we always recommend using a professional painter and decorator. For those customers in Nottingham Derby and the surrounding area why not contact Ntwine Painter and Decorators Nottingham today!
HOW TO PAINT INTERIOR WOODWORK
You can really brighten up your interior woodwork with a fresh coat of paint. Before commencing any decorating project make sure you remove or cover any furniture from the room. Also protect the floor from any spillages by covering with a dust sheet.
If you are painting new, bare wood, prepare the wood by coating with a knotting solution this should help treat it before painting. Fill any holes of cracks with a specialist wood filler. Make sure you choose a filler that is suitable for interior woodwork. Clear any loose bits of wood and debris and apply the filler firmly into any dents. Allow the filler to dry before sanding to an even finish.
If the wood has been painted before then gently sand the edges and surface to ungloss and smooth. This will improve the bond of the top coat of paint to the work surface. Once you have sanded hoover up any dust and gently clean the surface with a sponge and soapy water.
Next apply a wood primer. This is an essential step because it helps to create a uniform final finish. On new, bare wood it also gives an extra adhesive quality. It prevents the top coat from absorbing straight into the wood and creating a patchy finish. Apply the undercoat thinly to an even finish, work with the grain.
Once the primer has dried you can add the top coat. Again, the paint should be applied thinly and with the grain to achieve a uniform finish. Start at the top and work downwards to avoid any drips. The key to a first-class finish is patience and attention to detail.
To achieve an outstanding finish, we always recommend calling in professional painters and decorators. For painting and decorating services in and around Nottingham contact us on 0115 671 6170
How to Hire Painters and Decorators Nottingham
Many people use painting and decorating contractors to repaint the interior and exterior of their properties. The advantage being, the first-class finished achieved by a competent professional is durable, long lasting, potentially saving you time and money in the future.
The majority of professional painters and decorators are willing to offer a free no obligation quote. During the initial visit, don’t be afraid to ask any questions and check previous customer reviews. Ask the tradesperson to give a detailed breakdown of the decorating job, this will enable you to assess their level of expertise and experience. Typically 70% of a painters and decorators job is preparation.
Something to consider. Employing a tradesperson with a higher daily rate may turn out to be cheaper because they could get the task done quicker than a general handyman who charges a lower day rate. Also bear in mind, experience is crucial as no one painting and decorating project is ever identical.

Painting and Decorating Frequently Asked Questions
WILL PAINTING OVER RUST STOP IT?
Water based gloss paint is effective at preventing metal from rusting as it protects the metal from water damage and chemical attack. Paint acts as a protective barrier, however surfaces that are already rusted will need proper preparation. It is important to first get rid of any loose flaking rust with a wire wool brush, abrasive paper or by sandblasting. Next, apply a suitable rust inhibitor or converter as a primer base coat to convert the rust to a stable compound which can then be painted over with a suitable gloss paint. External metal should be painted as part of routine maintenance works to prevent future rusting.
WHEN PAINTING WHICH IS THE CORRECT ORDER?
The first stage of any painting job is preparation. It is important to not only prepare the surfaces to be painted, but also to prepare the room so that paint, dust and debris does not get on any of the furniture and flooring. Once you are happy that you can work tidily, begin by scrubbing down the walls, fill any holes and defects with a good quality filler and sand down with fine abrasive paper. Depending on the surface, a primer base coat may be necessary, otherwise paint an undercoat with your chosen paint. Start by ‘cutting in’ around wall junctions and ceilings then use a roller working from left to right and top bottom in metre squares. Successive coats should be painted in the same way until the underlying colour is completely covered.
WHAT TO DO WHEN PAINTING NEW PLASTER?
New plaster will generally require a primer coat or mist coat to enable successive paint coats to adhere to the newly plastered surface. Most emulsion paints can be watered down to achieve this. There are also specially formulated primers that are available to help with the adhesion of topcoats. Flaking paint can be an obvious sign that a primer coat has not been used in the preparation of new plaster. It is also useful to lightly abrade the newly plastered surface to provide a ‘key’ for adhesion.
ARE TRADESMEN ALLOWED TO WORK IN YOUR HOUSE DURING LOCKDOWN?
The government guidance currently states that people should work from home unless it is not possible for them to do so. In the case of painters and decorators, working from home is not an option. So, where work is carried out in a domestic property, it is important that you disclose if you have tested positive, are shielding, or have Covid-19 symptoms. In these instances, the work cannot take place in your property. If you don’t have any symptoms, then it is safe for tradesmen to enter your home if social distancing guidelines are adhered to. Aim to avoid any direct communication and tradesmen should ensure to wash hands and tools regularly and sanitise all surfaces prior to vacating the property.
WHAT DO PAINTERS AND DECORATORS DO?
Painters and decorators provide a fresh look to both internal and external surfaces. The majority of professional painters and decorators work with all surfaces such, plaster, wood, metal, brick and masonry to name a few. Services painting and decorating companies usually provide include preparing surfaces, applying paint and wallpaper and glossing.
