Painting and wall repair
Cracks, dents, plaster coming away or wall-plug holes: before painting, the repair has to be done properly. I assess the cause and condition of the wall, prepare it, smooth it where it makes sense and paint it with the finish each room calls for.
What I do
- Repairing non-structural cracks
- Removing damaged or loose plaster and filling
- Surface preparation: sanding, cleaning and priming
- Skimming walls when their condition and the finish you want justify it
- Advice on paint type, finish and colour
- Protecting floors and furniture, and clean lines at corners and ceilings
Cause before coat.
1 · Understand
Why the wall is damaged: a knock, a movement crack, damp or old paint that won't hold.
2 · Repair
Clean back, fill, sand and, where it makes sense, skim. If the cause needs another professional, I tell you first.
3 · Paint
With the right paint for the room and as many coats as it takes for an even colour.
Process
How we go about it
- 01
Look at the wall
I assess the type of damage, its likely cause and the condition of the plaster and the old paint.
- 02
Suggest options
Patch repairs, skimming or just paint: I explain what makes sense and why.
- 03
Prepare and repair
I protect the area, clean back, fill and sand. I show you the repaired wall before painting.
- 04
Paint and check
Primer if needed, as many coats as it takes, and a check together in good light.
What affects the quote
Each quote is prepared for your situation. These are the factors that change it most; with photos and measurements I can give you a closer idea.
- Square metres of wall and ceiling, and height
- Condition of the surface and type of damage
- Whether it needs skimming or patch repairs are enough
- Type of paint and number of colours
- Furniture to move or protect, and access to the area
