Local issues
Common Decorating Problems in Reading
These are common decorating problems in Reading homes and businesses, and how we deal with them.
Worn, marked walls
Busy hallways, stairs and family rooms that need filling, sanding and fresh coats.
Tired woodwork
Yellowed gloss, chipped skirting and doors that let a room down.
Weathered exteriors
Faded render, flaking window frames and grey fences that need protection.
Dated wallpaper
Old paper to strip and walls to prepare before new paint or paper.
Getting the preparation right
Whatever the age of your Reading property, the finish depends on preparation: filling, sanding, sealing and priming. We never skip it.
Choosing the right method
Some jobs suit brush and roller; larger walls, ceilings, fences and cladding can be sprayed with airless equipment for speed and even coverage.
