FAQs

Property owners are advised by A1 Decorators that fresh plaster typically requires a priming or mist coat. This will enhance the surface’s final finish by enabling subsequent topcoats to stick to the surface. Additionally, our impartial Painting and Decorating staff in Liverpool advises using specially designed primers to improve the topcoats’ adherence to the surface. Flaking paint is a symptom that a fresh coat of paint has not been primed. Sand the freshly plastered surface with sandpaper lightly before applying primer. This will give adherence a key.

Clients are always informed by A1 Decorators that painting a building’s exterior requires a period of dry, warm weather. Our freelance painters and decorators in Liverpool suggest painting your home’s exterior between the spring and fall if you’re considering doing so (April – October). Weather that is cold and rainy lengthens the time it takes for newly applied paint to dry. In contrast, the drying period is shortened by longer daylight hours and warmer, drier weather. However, it is feasible to buy specialised masonry paint that may be used in such conditions if an urgent need for external painting arises during bad weather. This paint is more expensive than the typical masonry paint, it should be highlighted.

We frequently complete feature wall projects for our clients. For the benefit of our visitors, we at A1 Decorators have compiled some expert advice to help them plan their feature walls.

When deciding which wall will be the focal point, scan the space and notice which wall catches your attention right away. Ideal walls are ones with fireplaces, marble fireplace surrounds, etc. However, walls with doors or windows typically don’t function as well because they divert your focus from the wall itself.

A1 Decorators in London understand that planning is the first step in any painting endeavor. While priming the surface for painting is necessary, protecting the furniture and floors from dust and debris is equally important. Once you are satisfied with the cleanup, our Liverpool painters and decorators advise cleaning the walls and using a high-quality filler to patch any gaps and cracks. Sand the surface down next using fine abrasive paper. According to the surface, a primer coat can be necessary. A primer will almost definitely be needed as a base coat for fresh plaster. With the color of your choice, apply an undercoat. Start by “cutting in” around doorways, doorways where walls meet ceilings, etc. After that, use a roller while moving from left to right and from top to bottom. Apply subsequent applications in the same fashion until you are happy with the outcome. Contact A1 Decorators right away for your free professional consultation and affordable quote.
