Leicester’s Wall Painting Specialists
Plastered Walls: Period Properties
Victorian and Edwardian properties have solid walls with original lime and sand plaster. The existing paint must be assessed before any new coat.
Where hairline cracking is present, we fill with a flexible filler, sand back, and prime.
Plastered Walls: 1930s to 1970s
Solid plaster walls in Oadby and Evington properties differ from both lime plaster and modern plasterboard. Paint absorption can vary across the surface.
A sealing primer levels absorption before the finish coat.
Plasterboard Walls
Plasterboard walls in newer properties and extensions require a sealing coat. See our plasterboard painting page.
Feature Walls and Two-Tone Schemes
We produce clean boundaries between colours. See our feature wall painting page for detail.
Whole-House Wall Painting
A whole-house programme is the most common large interior project. See our interior painting page for the full range.
Here’s How It Works
1. Wall Assessment
We check every wall surface, plaster type, adhesion, cracks, and any damp.
2. Surface Preparation
Loose paint removed. Hairline cracks filled. Porous sections identified for specialist priming.
3. Priming
Each surface receives the right primer for its type and condition.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats of matt emulsion by roller with brush cuts at all edges.
5. Inspection
Each wall inspected in both natural and raking artificial light. Touch-ups completed.
