Interior Painting
"Let us enhance your Sonning Common home with our professional painting services. We understand how to bring out the best in every room, whether you're in a modern family home or a character property.
Living Room and Family Areas
Your living room deserves special attention, and we start by making sure everything's properly protected. We'll carefully cover your furniture and flooring, then turn our attention to the walls. If we spot any cracks or damage, we'll repair them properly before giving all surfaces a thorough sanding. For a perfect finish, we take extra care with coving and ceiling edges, using careful masking to create clean, crisp lines.
We choose our paints to match your needs. For family rooms, we recommend tough, washable finishes that keep looking fresh despite daily life. In modern homes, we create clean, sharp lines between walls and ceilings, while period properties get thoughtful attention to cornices and original features. If you're looking for something special, we can create stunning feature walls or two-tone effects that add extra interest to your room.
Kitchen Excellence
Kitchens need special treatment to handle their unique challenges. We start with a thorough cleaning of all walls to remove any grease or cooking residue. In areas where there might be stains, we use special blocking primers before applying kitchen-specific paints that resist moisture and clean easily.
If you're thinking about cabinet painting, our process ensures a finish that looks factory-fresh and lasts for years. We carefully remove all doors, drawers, and hardware, then clean everything with professional degreasers. After thorough sanding, we apply high-adhesion primer and multiple layers of tough paint, finishing with a protective topcoat. When everything's perfectly dry, we carefully refit all components, making sure everything works smoothly.
Bathroom Specialties
Bathrooms present unique challenges with moisture and steam. We tackle these head-on by preparing all surfaces with anti-mold treatments and special primers that seal the surface properly. Our bathroom-specific paints are chosen to resist steam and stay looking fresh. We pay extra attention to ventilation during work and make sure all edges are properly sealed to prevent moisture problems later.
Woodwork Skills
Your home's woodwork frames everything else, so it needs proper attention. For doors and frames, we remove or protect all hardware before starting. Each surface gets thorough preparation - filling any damage, sanding smooth, and cleaning thoroughly before we apply primers and paint. We sand between coats for a perfect finish, whether you prefer classic gloss or modern satin.
Skirting boards and architraves get equally careful treatment. We protect your floors properly, then prepare each surface meticulously. Any gaps get filled, everything gets sanded smooth, and we use quality paints that stand up to daily wear and tear.
Ceiling Care
A perfect ceiling makes a room feel complete. We inspect carefully for any cracks or water stains, treating these before we start painting. Our ceiling paint goes on evenly, with careful attention to the direction of rolling and checking in different lights to ensure a consistent finish. We work in manageable sections to maintain a wet edge, ensuring there are no visible joins in the finished work.
Special Finishes
Looking for something unique? We can create various decorative effects to enhance your home. From multi-tone walls to painted borders, special paint effects to feature wall designs, we'll help you choose something that suits your style. We can work with picture rails and dado rails to create traditional looks, or use contemporary techniques for modern designs.
Surface Preparation
Every great finish starts with proper preparation. We begin by testing walls to make sure they're sound, then remove any loose paint and repair problems we find. After thorough cleaning and sanding, we apply appropriate primers to ensure your new paint has the perfect base. We always check how natural light falls in your room, as this can affect how the finished work looks.
Paint Application
Our painting technique ensures beautiful, lasting results. We work systematically through each room, cutting in edges carefully before rolling larger areas. Each coat builds up to create perfect coverage, and we check constantly for any imperfections. Regular inspections in different lights help us ensure every surface looks flawless. We monitor drying times carefully, making sure each coat is properly set before we apply the next."
