Interior Decorating Work

No job is too small for our experienced decorator and we offer a range of services, including:

Painting

Choosing the right paint for your walls and ceilings can completely transform the look of your room, so consider using different finishes to make the biggest impact.

• Matt emulsion is a water-based paint mainly used on interior surfaces. This paint is smooth and non reflective which is the best finish to use to hide imperfections on walls and ceilings.
• Satin and silk emulsions have a mid sheen finish and can reflect light. Silk paint is generally used for walls whereas Satin paint is used on woodwork. If your walls are not perfect then silk can show up any lumps and bumps so is best to only be used on smooth surfaces.
• Eggshell paint has less sheen than silk or satin emulsions, but gives a classy look to wood work. This paint is tough and durable and is easy to clean.
• Gloss paint is shiny and designed for woodwork. This paint reflects light and is tough, durable, stain resistant and easy to clean.

So if you are looking to give your living room or bedroom a new look or your hallway and stairs needs a refresh then take some time to consider the different paint finishes, if you need some advice then I can help you make the right choice and complete your project to your desired specification.

Wallpapering

Wallpaper can make a room look classy and can complement other walls in the room that have been painted. You can choose to have just one main feature wall in wallpaper or all walls in the room papered. Mixing and matching walls with wallpaper and paint can add a modern feeling to any room. Wallpaper comes in a variety of colours, patterns and textures and is also the best material for covering imperfections including cracks on walls.

Lining Paper

Lining paper can be applied to your walls to either cover imperfections  and leave a flat finish ready for painting in a color of your choice, or can be applied to make a smooth, sound surface to your walls prior to hanging your finished wallpaper.

Wall Preparation

Preparing walls is a must before any new decorating project. This can range from filling small holes to sanding down any uneven surfaces on the walls. Preparation  is done to ensure a smooth and sound surface on your walls ahead of any painting or wallpapering applications.

Filling cracks

Cracks can be a nuisance when they start to appear on walls and ceilings and can look very unsightly. Applying different types of filler to these cracks can eliminate them all together and after painting over the filled crack with your preferred paint finish your walls and ceilings will look as good as new again.

Varnishing

Varnish is used primarily to seal wood finishes allowing the wood grain to show leaving a natural look.  Varnish comes in different finishes such as Matt, Gloss and Satin and can be used on various types of wood. This is suitable for wood work such as skirting boards, architraves, floors and more. This can also protect the wood from the scratches and abrasions and offer waterproof protection.

Wood Stain

If you do not want your woodwork in a painted finish, then maybe a wood stain is for you. Unlike varnish which forms a barrier on the wood, wood stain penetrate the wood to preserve the beauty of the wood grains. There wood stains come in various colours and finishes so can fit in with any décor of your choice.
