Painting and decorating

Before commencing any internal decorating or exterior painting project, it is essential to meticulously assess and prepare the areas that require attention. 

For internal spaces, check for any cracks or holes in the walls and ceilings, as these need to be filled and sanded down to create a smooth surface. Additionally, peeling or flaking paint must be stripped away to ensure proper adhesion of the new coat. 

For exterior painting, the condition of the exterior surfaces should be examined closely; any rotting wood or damaged masonry should be repaired before applying a fresh coat to prevent further deterioration. Cleaning the surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and cobwebs is also crucial, as these factors can compromise the final finish. 

Properly preparing these areas not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures longevity and durability in your painting and decorating efforts.
