Painting and Decorating for Homes and Workspaces
Good painting and decorating is about more than applying colour. The quality of the finish and how long it lasts depend heavily on preparation, surface condition and the materials used.
London properties often include older plaster, previously painted surfaces and signs of everyday wear. Our role is to assess these conditions properly before work begins, so the finished result looks good and performs well over time.
From single rooms to entire properties, As with every task we do, Fixro manages painting and decorating projects with a practical, organised approach.
Types of Painting and Decorating We Undertake
We provide a wide range of painting and decorating services for residential and commercial properties.
Interior Painting
Interior painting includes walls, ceilings, woodwork and detailed finishes.
Common areas include living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and staircases. This covers doors, door frames, skirting boards, handrails and other timber features as well as walls.
Where required, surfaces are sanded and repaired before painting to ensure a smooth, even finish.
Exterior Painting
Exterior painting helps protect buildings and other features as well as improve appearance.
Typical works include walls, window frames, doors, railings, soffits and fascias. Exterior surfaces are inspected carefully and prepared to ensure paint adheres properly to help withstand weather exposure.
House Painting
House painting projects may involve refreshing a single room or repainting an entire property. These projects are planned to keep disruption to a minimum and to maintain consistency across all areas.
Office and Commercial Painting
Office painting often needs to be carried out around working hours or access constraints. We plan works carefully to reduce disruption and keep workspaces clean and usable where possible.
Paint Types and Finishes
Choosing the right paint is as important as the application itself.
Depending on the space and surface, we may use:
- Water-based paints, commonly used for walls and ceilings
- Oil-based paints, often used for woodwork and areas requiring durability
- Washable and wipeable finishes for high-traffic areas
- Moisture-resistant paints for kitchens and bathrooms
We advise on suitable finishes based on how the space is used, rather than focusing on trends alone.
Surface Preparation and Sanding
One of the most common causes of poor paint finishes is inadequate preparation.
In many cases, existing paintwork needs sanding or wire brushing before repainting to remove imperfections, make surfaces smooth and help to ensure proper adhesion. Skipping this step can lead to uneven finishes, visible brush marks or, over time, areas peeling.
Before painting begins, we assess surfaces and carry out the necessary preparation, which may include filling, sanding, sealing stains and wood knots or applying primers.
Painting in Occupied Properties
Painting often takes place while furniture remains in the property.
Our team can professionally move furniture where required and cover floors, fixtures and belongings securely to minimise disruption. Protection is put in place before work starts and removed once painting is complete, keeping the space clean and often usable throughout the process.
Painting Methods and Application
Different areas, conditions and finishes require different painting methods.
Depending on the surface and whether the property is occupied or not, painting may be carried out using brushes, rollers or spray application. The method used is chosen based on the finish required, the size of the area and practical considerations on site.
