PAINTING AND DECORATING DONCASTER - HOW PAINTING CHANGES A ROOM

A schedule of painting and decorating is a crucial part of property maintenance which is easily overlooked and is a cost-effective way to add appeal to a room. A space that is dated and tired looking can easily be freshened up with a newly applied coat of paint to make it look cleaner and brighter. You may also find that redecorating can improve your mental health and mood. When paint is applied to freshly plastered surfaces, it gives life to a room. Depending on the chosen colour, the paint will also reflect natural light and heat, helping you save money on energy bills. Our painters and decorators in Doncaster also advise when surfaces are correctly prepared, they can remove imperfections such as cracks, dents, mould, water stains etc. During your initial consultation our independent contractors can provide advice and guidance on the up-to-date trends and colour choices to freshen up the interior and exterior work spaces on your building. 

When painting a room, an important phase is glossing the wood work, like doors, skirting boards, bannisters etc. Gloss is specially manufactured coating that protects timber from decay and moisture. It can add an extra lift and is a cost-effective way to modernise any space. Our painters and decorators in Doncaster recommend glossing any wood work in a frequent basis.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do painters cut in?

Painters and decorators Doncaster regularly get asked how to cut in neatly at wall and junctions with architraves, skirting boards and coving? A large part of being able to carry this out neatly without tape is years of practice. The majority of people will need t o use decorators' tape to mask off nearby areas to avoid excess paint splashes. Our painters and decorators in Doncaster recommend using a stiff brush to create neat lines. The size if the brush head should be around2-3 inches. This size of brush will be easy to handle whilst still getting good coverage. Another great tip is to hold the brush in a comfortable manner and to position yourself so that you can access the work space with ease. If you are cutting in, we recommend loading the brush not too full and starting to paint 3-4 inches away from the junction. Control the stroke of the brush and carefully push the paint into any corners. Use the line of the junction to guide your brush stroke. Be swift and smooth with your brush stroke. Once your brush stroke has covered one direction be sure to work back in the opposite direction to cover any missed spots.

If this exercise seems too difficult, our professional painters and decorators are on hand to help. For free expert advice and your competitive quote contact Painters and Decorators Doncaster today.

​​What to do when painting new plaster?              
Painters and Decorators Doncaster advise property owners that new plaster will need an initial primer or mist coat before successive coats can be applied, The initial mist coat will allow improved adherence of the paint. The majority of emulsion paints can be diluted to make them in to primers.  In addition there are some specially manufactured primers that you can purchase "off the shelf". Our painters and decorators in Doncaster visit many buildings where a primer coat has not been applied. Paint that is flaking is a noticeable sign that a primer coat was not applied in preparation for painting onto fresh plaster, To provide a "key" for adhesion of the paint on to the plaster we also advise lightly abrading the surface with sandpaper. For free expert advice and your competitive contact Painters and Decorators Doncaster today.

​Should I paint or gloss first?
Painters and Decorators Doncaster advise that there is no "best" order when deciding whether to  paint or gloss first. Ultimately, this will depend on the preferences of the painter and decorator carrying out the work. Either way has its advantages and disadvantages. For instance, if you initially emulsion the ceilings and walls, then any paint that lands on the skirting boards or woodwork  is not a problem. In comparison, if the glossing is undertaken first, then it does not matter too much if any lands on the walls as these will be painted over. If you do decide to gloss first, our painters and decorators in  Doncaster recommend  running some masking tape along any woodwork when you paint the walls and ceilings. This will prevent any paint drips landing on the  newly painted surfaces.

Does render need to be painted?

Painters and Decorators Doncaster have completed many render painting projects on commercial and domestic properties. Render is a plaster finish that is applied to the outside walls of a building. Render not only looks aesthetically pleasing it also helps to protect the underlying brickwork against challenging elements and improve your property's energy efficiency. Render is applied to outside walls using 2-3 coats to help limit the number of cracks that develop.

 The painting of render is popular because it can give the outside of your property a fresh, new look. Before painting, Painters and Decorators in Nottingham recommend allowing a few days for the render to dry. Failure to do so will trap moisture in the mortar mix causing cracks or the paint to bubble. Once you are sure the render has dried inspect the walls to ensure there are no cracks or snots in the render. Correct and defects that are identified. Once you are confident that the preparation is done you can start to paint. You should always start painting at the top of the wall, working down. Use a brush or roller, for cutting in the any windows or doors, use a smaller brush. Render will require a minimum of two coats of paint.

What is the best time of year to paint the exterior of a property?

Painters and Decorators Doncaster offer an exterior painting service. From experience, the ideal time to paint the outside of a property is at a time of dry and warm weather. We undertake the majority of exterior painting between the months of April through October. Painting the exterior of a building  outside of the period can pose problems, the cold and damper weather increases the drying time of freshly painted workspaces. The Spring, Summer and Autumn months are advantageous as the longer daylight hours and warmer climate allows quicker drying time for the freshly applied paint. Our painters and decorators in Doncaster, do realise that there are some specialist masonry paints on the market that enable outside surfaces to be painted under less than ideal weather. The drawback to this, is the paint costs more than "average" masonry paint.

Is painting bathroom tiles a good idea?

Painters and  Decorators Doncaster have advised many property owners in refurbishing their bathroom  by painting their old tiles. If you are looking in to painting your dated tiles, you will need to purchase specialist paint.

Tile paint is usually available in several finishes including matte, sating and gloss and the type you decide on will depend n the final look you are hoping to achieve. Using specialist tile paint alleviates the requirement for a primer. You should be able to just apply the paint directly on to the tiled surfaces.

Tips for painting window frames?

Painting your wooden window frames is  a great way to give them a fresh new look, especially if you have recently painted your walls. Painters and Decorators Doncaster advise regularly painting the frames to keep them in good condition and provide them with added protection. If you are considering painting your window frames, our painters and decorators in Doncaster have highlighted some useful tips below.

• Clean the frames - prior to painting the window frames, Painters and Decorators Doncaster recommend giving them a clean with warm soapy water and a cloth.
• Fill any dents or cracks - fill any dents or cracks with woodfiller to create a smooth finish.
• Sand the frames - use a scrapper to get rid of any loose flakes of paint. Sand the wooden frames to create a smooth surface. A tip from our painters and decorators in Doncaster is to sand with the grain. Once you have finished sanding clean away any dust.
• You can know apply a primer to the surface with a brush. If you little experience painting, it may be worth applying masking tape to the edges of the frame to create a clean finish. Professional decorators, like Painters and Decorators Doncaster have the skill to cut in without using any tape. The primer creates a base with which to apply top coats.
• Once the primer is dry you can now apply the final coats of your chosen colour. Be sure to press the paint into the corners and cover all areas, paint in the direction of the wood grain. If you need to apply more than one coat allow time for the previous coat to dry

How to paint railings?

Here at Painters and Decorators Doncaster, we are occasionally asked to undertake painting and decorating projects, on metal gates and railings in the area. For the DIY enthusiasts we have put together a guide on how to complete this task. Read  on to learn more.

Exterior metal, like wrought iron gates and railings are long lasting and durable. However, at some point the paint will start to fail, rust and flake and will eventually need repainting. Our painters and decorators in Doncaster, recommend regular care and maintenance of exterior metal surfaces in order to optimise their natural lifespan. If you have metal railings or gates, it is worth checking them at least once a year to see if they need any maintenance.

Painters and Decorators Doncaster, advise using high-grade exterior paint that is designed for metal surfaces. If your metal surface is bare, it is worth applying a primer, we recommend choosing a primer that specifically inhibits rust. Many professional painters and decorators in Doncaster recommend spray painting metal, this creates a smoother  and high-end finish than applying the paint with a brush.

Prior to applying any primer or paint, first clean your railings to remove any dirt, dust and moss. After, prepare the metal for painting with a wire brush and sandpaper. This will remove any flaky paint and rust and create a smooth surface for painting. Be sure to clean the surface again to remove any dust. It is a good idea to lay dust cloths to proect any nearby surfaces and brickwork.

When you begin to paint, start from the top and work your way down. This will ensure any drips of paint are picked up and smoothed over. Check your work from all angles to ensure no missed spots.

What is a feature wall?

Painters and Decorators Doncaster appreciate the concept of a feature wall has been around for a while, and it has recently gained popularity again with some interior designers predicting it to be a trend in 2023. A feature wall is essentially a wall within a room that has a distinct look from the other walls. For example, in a room with three white walls, one wall may be painted turquoise to create a statement or accent wall.

The purpose of a feature wall is to add visual interest, create a focal point, and enhance the overall ambiance of a room. Our team of painters and decorators in Doncaster has observed a growing interest in feature walls, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, as more people have been spending time at home.

Feature walls can be created in any room, but they are most commonly found in living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms. Interestingly, some interior designers suggest that a feature wall can actually make a small room appear larger.

The most affordable and popular way to create a feature wall is by using a different paint color from the other walls. Other options include wallpaper, murals, exposed natural brick, or shelving.
