Our Professional Painting & Decorating Process
For this Reading painting project, we followed a detailed process to achieve a smooth, durable, and professional result.
1. Plaster Preparation
✔ Sanding & Smoothing: We carefully sanded the newly plastered walls to remove any imperfections.
✔ Filling & Repairing: Any minor cracks or dents were filled to ensure an even surface.
2. Applying a Mist Coat
✔ A mist coat was applied to seal the fresh plaster, improving adhesion and ensuring the paint absorbed evenly.
3. Two Top Coats – Johnstones Acrylic Durable Matt
✔ We applied two coats of Johnstones Acrylic Durable Matt, a highly durable and washable paint perfect for modern interiors.
✔ This provided a smooth, high-quality finish with excellent coverage and longevity.
4. Woodwork Preparation & Painting
✔ Sanding & Filling: We prepped doors, skirting boards, and trims for painting.
✔ Three-Coat System:
- One undercoat for a strong foundation.
- Two top coats of Johnstones Acrylic Durable Matt for a sleek, durable finish.
