Painting & Finishing
Interior painting and finishing
Paint is the last thing you see in a finished home and the first thing a poor job gives away. Uneven walls, patchy corners and visible roller marks come from rushed preparation, not from the paint itself. We paint and finish homes with the preparation done properly, so the colour you chose looks the way you imagined.The work is scheduled after the civil work, ceilings and carpentry are complete, and our own team protects floors and fittings as it goes. You receive clean walls, finished edges and a home that is ready for furniture.
01Types
Finishes we apply
Texture and feature walls
Sponge, roller, trowel and sand-style textures for one accent wall, a niche or the back of a TV unit, where a plain coat would feel flat.
Wood polish and PU finishes
Clear or coloured polish on wooden doors, frames, panels and furniture, with sanding between coats so the grain stays visible.
Enamel on doors, grills and metal
Primed and enamel-painted surfaces for steel doors, window grills and railings, so they resist rust and wipe clean.
Damp-resistant and anti-fungal paints
Coatings for bathrooms, balcony-facing walls and areas prone to dampness, used after the source of moisture has been fixed.
02Preparation
Preparation decides the finish
The paint on the tin is a small part of a paint job. Most of the quality comes from the wall beneath it. We scrape loose paint, fix cracks, patch holes and open any hairline cracks before filling them. Damp patches are traced to their cause first, because paint over a wet wall peels within months.
Putty comes next. Two thin coats, sanded smooth between layers, level the surface and remove the ripples that show up as soon as the afternoon light grazes the wall. Then a primer seals the putty and gives the paint an even base, so the colour does not soak in unevenly.
This is the slowest part of the job and the one easiest to skip. We tell you what each stage is and show you the wall at each stage, so you know what you are paying for.
03Colour
Choosing colour and sheen
Colour looks different in every home. A shade that is soft on a chart can turn grey in a north-facing room and glaring in a bright one. We suggest patches on the wall itself, checked in the morning, afternoon and under the evening lights, before the whole room is painted.
Sheen changes the feel as much as colour. Matt hides small wall flaws and gives a calm, modern look, but marks are harder to wipe. Satin and silk are easier to clean and suit passages, kids' rooms and kitchens. Gloss belongs mostly on trims and doors. Ceilings are best kept in a flat finish and a light tone, so the room reads taller.
In a home with several rooms, a few colours repeated in different proportions look more composed than a new colour in every room. We help you pick a palette that holds together, and note where a feature wall earns its place.
04Finishes
Textures, polish and special finishes
A texture is a good answer to a wall that needs depth: behind the bed, beside the dining table or around a TV unit. Keep it to one or two walls in a room and let the other surfaces stay plain. We make a sample patch on site so you can judge how the texture catches the light.
Wood polish needs patience. The surface is sanded, stained if you want a deeper tone, sealed and coated in layers, with light sanding between each. Polished wood in a home that gets sun or humidity needs the right system, so we ask where it will be used before choosing the product.
Metal and old wood surfaces get their own preparation. Rust is removed and primed before enamel goes on, and old varnish is stripped or sanded back so the new coat holds.
05Before you start
What to think about before you start
Sequence matters. Paint last, after civil work, false ceilings and carpentry are finished, and before light fittings, curtains and loose furniture go in. Painting too early means touch-ups after every trade has passed through.
Allow for drying and ventilation. Each coat needs time, and a freshly painted room should have open windows for a while. If someone in your family is sensitive to smell, tell us so we can recommend low-odour products.
Set the colour plan before work begins. Changing a colour halfway through adds coats, time and cost, and the second colour rarely covers the first as well as you expect.

09FAQ
Painting & Finishing: your questions
How many coats of paint does a wall need?
A good job normally has one coat of primer and two coats of finish paint over putty. A dramatic colour change, or a dark colour over a light wall, may need extra coats. We confirm the number in the estimate.
Do I need putty before painting?
On most interior walls, yes. Putty fills small pits and levels the wall, so the paint sits on a smooth surface. Skipping it shows up as a rough, patchy finish, especially in side light.
Which sheen is best: matt, satin or silk?
Matt hides wall flaws and looks calm, but marks are harder to remove. Satin and silk are easier to clean, so they suit passages, children's rooms and kitchens. A mix across the home is common.
Can I paint over damp walls?
Not before fixing the cause. Paint on a damp wall blisters and peels. We find the source, whether a leak, bathroom seepage or outside moisture, repair it, let the wall dry and then use a suitable primer and paint.
When should painting be done in an interior project?
After civil work, false ceilings and carpentry are complete, and before light fittings, curtains and furniture arrive. This avoids damage and repeated touch-ups.
How do I choose a wall colour?
Judge it on the wall, not on a chart. We paint small patches and look at them in the morning, afternoon and under the evening lights. North-facing rooms usually need warmer tones than south-facing ones.
Can you do wood polish and PU finish on furniture?
Yes. We sand, stain if needed, seal and coat wooden doors, frames and panels in layers. The finish is chosen for how the piece is used, so tabletops and doors get a tougher system.
Do you protect furniture and floors while painting?
Yes. Floors, switches, fittings and furniture are masked and covered before work starts, and the home is cleaned after the final touch-up.
