Whether you’re after support with decorating your house or require a painter and decorator to refurbish commercial premises, there are several factors to take into consideration such as the finish, colours and materials needed.

You will have to make sure that you hire professional decorators so you know they can be trusted to do a good job, offer a clear pricing structure and to hold all the appropriate insurances.

For many people, their property, whether it’s residential or commercial, is their most valuable asset and so it is only fitting that they should want any refurbishment work carried out to the highest standard possible, utilizing the best materials and craftsmanship available.

Someday in time, all buildings will need a painter and decorator – from hotels to houses, schools to offices – and all should have this work completed with the exact same degree of care and attention.

The principles will still be the same, whether work needs to be completed on the exterior or interior of your property.

Firstly, you will have to prepare the surface by removing any fungus, preparing bare wood and glossy surfaces and consider how you will deal with the hazards of asbestos or old, lead-based paint.

Secondly, it is advisable to select high quality tools, such as rollers and paintbrushes made out of the right materials for the task – i.e. synthetic bristles for applying water-based paints and mohair rollers to apply solvent-based coatings.

Next comes the important choice of paint. Top quality paints will hide any discolouration, resist dirt and adhere more easily to the surface.

Finally, you will need to think about the conditions as painting is normally more effective in mild conditions. In the cold, it’s going to take a long time to brush on and dry, whilst in the warmth, paint dries too rapidly, which often can compromise durability.

So whether your commercial premises require the assistance of a painter and decorator or if you just need support with decorating your house, the choices you and the professional decorators make are going to have a profound effect on the finished look.
