Your Top Questions on Interior Painting Answered
How long will my interior painting project take in a typical Newcastle home?

Will you move or cover furniture before painting?
Yes, we take full responsibility for protecting your belongings. Our team will carefully move lighter furniture to the center of the room and cover it with clean, professional-grade dust sheets.
For heavier pieces that can't be moved easily, we'll provide thorough protection where they stand. We take extra care with your furniture and belongings throughout the painting process.
How many coats do you apply to walls and ceilings?
For most interior painting projects, we apply two coats of premium paint. This ensures a perfect finish that handles varying humidity levels well.
Some situations may require additional coats, such as when covering darker colors, working with deep shades, or addressing porous surfaces in older homes.
During our initial assessment, we'll determine the optimal number of coats needed for your specific situation.
Can you match existing paint colours?
Yes, we're experts at colour matching! Using advanced technology, we can accurately match your existing paint colours, even if they've slightly faded over time.
We can also help you select new colors that complement your home's style, whether you're in a modern apartment or a Victorian house.
Our team stays current with both traditional and contemporary colour trends that work beautifully in local properties.
Will you use mould-resistant paint in rooms like bathrooms and kitchens?
Absolutely! We understand that the local climate can contribute to moisture issues. We use high-quality mold-resistant paints in high-humidity areas.
These specialized paints contain antimicrobial additives that prevent mould and mildew growth.
This is particularly important in older properties that might be more prone to dampness.
How long do we need to avoid using a freshly painted room?
For most water-based paints, rooms can be gently used after 4-6 hours when the paint feels dry to touch. However, we recommend waiting 24 hours before returning furniture and resuming normal use.
Full curing takes approximately 7-14 days depending on seasonal humidity levels.
We'll provide specific guidance for your property based on the paints used and current weather conditions.
Will you fill and repair dents and scuffs on walls before painting?
Yes, proper preparation is essential for a quality finish. Our standard process includes filling dents, cracks, and scuffs, followed by sanding to create a smooth surface before applying any paint.
This careful preparation is particularly important in older properties that may have settlement cracks or wear from years of use. We ensure your walls look flawless once painted.
Do you sand and prime woodwork before painting?
Absolutely. For all woodwork including skirting boards, door frames, and architraves, we follow a comprehensive preparation process. This includes thorough cleaning, sanding to create a smooth surface, and applying a high-quality primer.
This is especially important in period properties with original woodwork that may need special attention. Our meticulous preparation ensures a flawless, long-lasting finish.
How do you handle painting around built-in features like shelves and fireplaces?
Our experienced painters are skilled at working around architectural features. For built-in shelves, we use precision techniques and specialty brushes to ensure clean lines.
With radiators, we either work carefully around them or can arrange for temporary removal. For ornate fireplaces, we use meticulous masking and detail work to protect and highlight these features.
Can you match the trim paint to walls or use contrasting tones?
We can work with either approach based on your preference and your home's style. Matching trim to walls creates a contemporary look, while contrasting tones highlight architectural details.
Our colour consultants can help you decide which approach would best suit your property's character. We'll provide samples to help you visualise the finished look before making your final decision.
Can the job be done in stages if we're living in the home during painting?
Yes, we regularly work with families who need to stay in their homes during painting projects. We can develop a room-by-room schedule that minimises disruption to your daily routine.
This phased approach is particularly helpful for larger homes or for families with young children or people working from home. We'll create a custom painting plan that keeps your household functioning while ensuring efficient completion of your project.
