THE FINISH STARTS LONG BEFORE THE PAINT
A lasting finish depends on what happens before the first coat goes on. We assess the condition of each surface, carry out the necessary repairs and prepare it properly before painting. Where suitable, we use professional dust-extracted sanding to reduce airborne dust and create a cleaner working environment.
DUST-EXTRACTED SANDING
Surface Repairs
Professional sanding equipment helps reduce airborne dust during surface preparation.
Cracks, holes and minor surface defects are repaired and prepared before painting where required.
Protecting Your Home
Good decorating should not come at the expense of the rest of your home. Before work begins, floors, furniture and surrounding areas are carefully protected. We keep the working area organised throughout the project and use suitable protection for each stage of preparation and painting.
Why Homeowners Choose APpartners Painting & Decorating
A Considered Approach to Every Surface
Finishes Chosen for Real Homes
We do not treat every wall, ceiling or piece of woodwork the same. Existing coatings, defects and surface condition are assessed before preparation begins.
Products and finishes are selected with the room, surface and everyday use in mind, balancing appearance, durability and practicality.
Detailed Work Beyond the Main Walls
One Person Responsible for the Result
Attention is given to edges, junctions, doors, frames, skirting, staircases, joinery and other details that make the finished room feel properly completed.
From the first visit to the final inspection, communication and responsibility stay direct rather than being passed between different people.
Interior Decorating FAQs
How long does it take to decorate a typical room?
A standard room often takes around 3–5 working days, depending on the condition of the surfaces, the amount of preparation required and the number of elements being decorated.
What brand of paints do you use?
We use professional-quality paints and primers selected to suit the surface, room and required finish. The specification can vary depending on durability, appearance and the condition of the existing surface.
Do you move the furniture before starting?
We ask that smaller items, valuables and breakables are removed beforehand. Larger furniture can often remain in the room and be moved or protected as required.
Is there a lot of dust during preparation?
Preparation can create dust, but we use professional dust-extraction equipment connected directly to our sanding tools wherever practical to reduce airborne dust significantly.
Do you provide written quotes?
Yes. Every project receives a detailed written quotation outlining the agreed work and price before the job begins.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes. A 25% deposit is required to secure your booking once the quotation is accepted. The remaining balance is due on completion unless otherwise agreed in writing.
