Generally no. Most paints don’t dry properly below about 5°C so we avoid painting in very cold
conditions.
Yes. Extreme heat makes paint dry too fast which can lead to cracking or patchy results. Early
mornings or late afternoons are best.
It really helps. Moving small items and valuables gives us a clear, safe space to work.
Smooth walls are essential. We fill and sand any imperfections, clean the surface, and size the walls if
necessary before hanging.
Most paints are touch-dry in a couple of hours but it’s best to wait around 24 hours before placing
anything against the walls.
Not all, but some do like bare wood, new plaster, or glossy surfaces. We assess this during
preparation.
Typically every 4–6 years, depending on weather exposure and previous paint quality.
Most modern paints are low-odour, but you may still notice a smell. Good ventilation helps it clear
quickly.
Not necessarily. Many clients provide access and we complete the job while they’re out. It’s entirely
your choice.
If your walls are uneven, cracked, or have lots of imperfections, lining paper helps create a smoother
finish.
Yes, paint suppliers can scan a sample and mix a very close match.
We stop straight away. Painting on wet or damp surfaces causes peeling, so we always monitor the
weather.
This depends on the size of the job but we always provide a timescale before starting and keep you
updated throughout.
Absolutely. We use dust sheets, plastic coverings and protective materials to keep everything clean
and safe.
Durable, wipeable finishes like satin or eggshell work well because they clean easily and resist
everyday wear.
