Interior Painting.

Interior painting can be a trying experience for busy homeowners. A project that should only take a few days can drag on for weeks or even months. Not only that, you need to know you have someone that you can trust not only to carry out the work, but also to be in and around your property. Will they protect your furniture and flooring? Will they let your dog or cat in & out during the day? Let B&A professionally paint your house in a fraction of the time and trouble AND without the worry of “have we got the right company in?” So if you've been thinking of brightening up your home, now is the time to do it! Oh, and by the way, B&A operate a NO SMOKING POLICY while on clients property.

If the smell of paint is an issue for you, not a problem. B&A are now using environmentally friendly, low odour water-based paints. These water-based paints produce low V.O.C’s (Volatile Organic Compounds), compared to traditional solvent based paint systems. B&A are doing it’s bit for the environment! B&A also dispose of unwanted materials according to local authority regulations.

When B&A have completed your project, we want you to think -                       “We’re glad we chose you!!!”

While carrying out our interior painting services we:

  • Mask off and protect all working areas.
  • Carry out full interior preparation work.
  • Caulk all wood trim, filling holes and cracks.
  • Sand all wood trim and clean down before painting.
  • Rake out all cracks and refill.
  • Tidy and Hoover at the end of each day.(We only use our own Hoover, not yours).

Choosing a paint colour.

Selecting the right paint colour for your home, can be a difficult task.                                   Click the links of Crown, Dulux, Brewers Paints to let you view some colour samples and let the coordinated colour schemes inspire and saturate your paint colour palette. This tool is perfect for homeowners, wanting to find the perfect colour, for their perfect room.

Ask B&A for some free colour cards should you need some inspiration for your room style. We always recommend that colour samples are purchased and applied to the surfaces being painted. This will give you a better idea of your chosen colours and you can eliminate any “bad” choices at this stage.

Exterior Painting.

Preparation is key to the end result. Exterior painting normally involves a lot more preparation work than interior painting etc. The preparation work involved on an external project can be as much as 50-70% of the job. So it may appear to you that the work is taking a long time to get to the final painting stage, but you want the paint to last and you also want it to look real good. Only premium quality paints & materials are used from the initial preparation to the final topcoat to ensure that your home painting project, whether it be internal painting or external painting, will stay beautiful for years to come.

Some of the Trade exterior paints we use are Crown Stronghold, Dulux Weathershield, Sandtex, Sadolin, Sikkens. There are plenty more trade paints available, but these are the regular ones most people ask us for and we are happy to recommend.

Please feel free to click on the links above and see the quality that can be applied to your investment. Your investment deserves our best!

It’s all in the preparation!

Exterior preparation process:

  • Scrape/sand all loose and peeling paint down to a sound surface. (Sometimes scraping and sanding the existing paint is not enough. Burning the paint off may be necessary to obtain a sound surface ready for painting).
  • Spot-prime all bare surfaces with sufficient primer
  • Wash down chalky and mildew areas with a fungicidal wash (allow to dry)
  • Caulk windows and door frames with acrylic caulking
  • Glossy existing paint is sanded to help the new paint adhere better
  • We mask up or remove hardware to protect it from paint
  • Wood knots are shellac primed to prevent them from coming through the finish coat
  • Rusted metal is spot-primed with rust primer
  • Getting any damaged or rotten woodwork/trim replaced

As you can see the preparation is pretty extensive. This is why it is mentioned previously that preparation work involved on an external project can be as much as 50-70% of the job.

During the preparation stage the ground around your property will get some loose debris that will come off the surface that is being prepared. This is unfortunately inevitable. We will try however, and keep any mess to a minimum, and we will also do our utmost to protect your prized blooms and plants.

Before & After Painting Company prides itself on the quality and standard of it’s workmanship. All of our work comes with up to a twelve month guarantee to ensure your complete satisfaction. There aren’t many out there willing to guarantee their work.

We give up to a twelve month Guarantee.

Decking.

Decking is something that has become very popular over the last few years, and it is also something that homeowners seem to forget about. This costly item needs treating in order to maintain its “just installed” look.

Once the British weather starts deteriorating the timber, it doesn’t take long for the decking to start looking in poor shape. You want your decking to look nice for years to come, and look as nice as it did the day you had it fitted. Don’t neglect your decking, have it treated at regular intervals.

Other Services people require.

Before & After Painting Company are continually asked if it can provide other services i.e. “do you install kitchens”, “can you fit a front door”, “do you do electrical repairs”, “I need a home cinema fitted”, etc, etc.

The answer is “No. B&A don’t do it, but we know someone who does, and we are happy to highly recommended their services to you”. Look at our Recommended link to see some very talented and clever Tradesmen & Tradeswomen with their contact details.

But, for all of your internal & external painting requirements....
