Interior painting
Rooms painted by hand, edge by edge
Walls, ceilings, doors, windows and trim, in empty houses and lived-in ones.
You need this when a house is bought, a room is redesigned, or a surface has stopped looking cared for. The work is mostly preparation: the paint goes on last and only over a surface that is ready for it.
Every project has a named lead who walks the rooms before the proposal and again before handover.
Preparation
What is done before any paint opens
Walls and ceilings
Nail holes, cracks and dents filled
Filler sanded flush and the dust vacuumed
Stains sealed, then primed
Joints and corners caulked
Doors, windows and trim
Old gloss scuffed so new paint holds
Gaps and mitre joints filled
Hardware removed, never painted around
Sprayed or brushed to the sheen on the schedule
The room itself
Floors covered with paper and plastic
Furniture moved to the middle and covered
Fittings and switch plates taken off
Rooms swept at the end of each day
The days
How a room runs
A single room takes two to four working days. A whole floor takes one to three weeks. The walkthrough gives the real number.

Step 1: Protect and repair
The room is covered and every repair is made and sanded.
- 02
Step 2: Prime
Patches and bare surfaces are primed, and the first coat of ceiling paint goes on.
- 03
Step 3: Finish coats
Walls and trim get their coats, with drying time between them.

Step 4: Handover
We walk the room with you, mark touch-ups and clean.
Sheens
Four sheens, and where each belongs
Described by what you see, not by a brand. Ask for the product data sheet for the exact paint.
Matt
The quietest finish. Hides surface faults, marks more easily. Ceilings and most walls.
Eggshell
A low sheen that wipes clean. Halls, stairs and family rooms.
Satin
A soft shine for trim, doors and bathrooms.
Semi-gloss
A hard, bright finish for trim and window casings that get handled.
Questions
About interior work
Can we stay in the house?
Yes. We work room by room, close doors behind us and clean each evening. Tell us in the walkthrough if someone works from home.
Who buys the paint?
We do, to your color and sheen schedule, and the product data sheet is yours to read before we order.
How many coats?
The proposal states it for each surface. Dark-to-light changes and new plaster take more than a refresh of the same color.
Walk the rooms with us
Tell us which rooms and what needs doing. We will set a walkthrough.
