Preparation That Makes the Difference

Achieving a high-quality finish starts with proper preparation. Our team follows a proven decorating process to ensure every surface is carefully prepared before painting, resulting in smooth finishes and long-lasting results.

Surface Preparation

We carefully inspect and prepare all surfaces before any painting begins to ensure the best possible finish.

Sanding & Filling

Walls and woodwork are sanded and filled where needed to remove imperfections and create smooth surfaces.

Mist Coats for New Plaster

Newly plastered surfaces receive a mist coat to help the paint bond properly and achieve an even finish.

Priming & Undercoats

Primers and undercoats are applied where required to improve adhesion and ensure colour consistency.

Multiple Finish Coats

We apply multiple coats of high-quality paint to achieve a durable, smooth and professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Painting & Decorating FAQs

“Clear answers to the most common questions about our painting and decorating services.”

If you’re considering professional painting and decorating in Cambridge, you may have a few questions about the process, materials and how our services work. Below you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions our customers ask.

How do you prepare surfaces before painting?

Proper preparation is essential for achieving a smooth and long-lasting finish.

Our process typically includes sanding surfaces, filling cracks or imperfections, and applying mist coats to newly plastered walls.

We also apply primers and undercoats where needed to ensure the paint adheres properly and provides an even finish.

This preparation helps prevent peeling, uneven coverage and other issues, ensuring the final result looks professional and lasts longer.

What type of paints and materials do you use?

We typically use Crown Trade paints because they provide durable, professional-quality finishes.

However, we are happy to work with other trusted brands such as Dulux Trade or Leyland Trade if requested.

Using high-quality paints helps ensure the finish looks better, lasts longer and provides better coverage.

What are the benefits of professional spray painting?

Spray painting allows us to achieve an ultra-smooth finish and even paint coverage across larger surfaces.

It is particularly effective for kitchen cabinets, large walls, new builds and modern decorating projects.

Spray application can also be faster than traditional brushing and rolling while still delivering a high-quality finish.

Can you work around occupied homes or businesses?

Yes. We understand that decorating work often takes place in homes that are lived in or businesses that are operating.

Our team works carefully to minimise disruption, protect furniture and flooring, and keep the workspace clean throughout the project.

We can also schedule work at convenient times where possible.

How do you protect furniture and flooring during decorating?

We take great care to protect your property during decorating work.

Furniture is covered with protective sheets, floors are protected using dust sheets or floor protection materials, and dustless sanding systems are used where possible to reduce mess.

Our team also ensures the workspace is left clean and tidy at the end of each day.

How long does a painting and decorating project usually take?

The length of a decorating project depends on the size of the area and the amount of preparation required.

For example, painting a single room may take a day or two, while larger projects such as full property redecorations or commercial spaces can take longer.

During our initial visit, we assess the work required and provide a clear timeline so you know what to expect.
