Decorating

Decorating can be a lot of fun but make sure you get it right. Decorating is 80% preparation and it is only in the last stages of the project that you actually start to see the changes and results.

Thorough preparation of all surfaces is a vital first step in redecorating. If you neglect this stage subsequent finishes may be rejected.

Preparation means removing dirt, grease and loose or flaking finishes as well as repairing serious deterioration such as cracks, holes, corrosion or decay. It is not only old surfaces that need attention. New timbers should be sealed for protection and priming is necessary to ensure the surface will accept it's finish.
