Our Interior Painting Process
1. Free Consultation & Quote
I visit your Cardiff home to assess the space and discuss your color preferences. We’ll talk about your lifestyle, lighting, and how you use each room. The right color choice depends on all of these factors. You’ll receive a detailed written quote with no hidden costs.
2. Color Consultation
I’ll show you how undertones work with your existing furniture. We’ll discuss how Cardiff’s natural light changes throughout the day. That “perfect” swatch often looks completely different on your actual walls. We test samples in your space before making final decisions.
3. Thorough Preparation
This is where most DIY jobs fall short. We properly prepare every surface: protect furniture with heavy-duty dust sheets, clean and degrease all surfaces, fill cracks and imperfections, sand smooth using dust-free equipment, prime where needed (crucial for Cardiff’s older properties), and mask edges for crisp, professional lines.
4. Expert Application
We apply premium paints using proper techniques. Multiple thin coats work better than one thick layer. We maintain wet edges and work systematically room by room. The right application method varies by surface type and finish.
5. Clean & Inspect
All furniture returns to its original position. Dust sheets removed, floors cleaned. We do a thorough inspection with you to ensure you’re completely happy.

How Long Does Interior Painting Take?
Timeline depends on several factors:
Single Room
1-2 days (including preparation and drying time)
Average 3-Bed Cardiff Home
5-7 days for full interior
Large or Period Property
2-3 weeks
Surface Condition
Older Cardiff properties often need more preparation time
Living at Home
Most Cardiff projects let you continue living at home with minimal disruption. We tackle one room at a time when possible.
We work efficiently while maintaining standards. Color changes from dark to light require additional coats, and architectural details like period features take longer but deserve proper attention.
Interior Paint Selection
Choosing the right paint finish and type is crucial for durability and appearance.
Choosing the Right Finish
Matt/Flat: Walls and ceilings in low-traffic areas. Hides imperfections beautifully.
Eggshell: Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways. Subtle sheen with good durability.
Satin: High-traffic areas, woodwork, kitchens. Easy to clean.
Gloss: Doors, window frames, radiators. Hard-wearing traditional finish.
Bathroom/Kitchen Paint
Moisture-resistant formulations that prevent mold
Radiators
Heat-resistant paint that won’t yellow or peel
Woodwork
Hard-wearing eggshell or gloss specific to timber
Low-VOC Paint
Better air quality for bedrooms and children’s rooms

Why Preparation Matters for Interior Painting
Paint only works properly when it bonds to a sound surface. I’ve seen too many Cardiff homes where expensive paint fails within months because preparation was rushed.
Plaster Issues
Cardiff’s Victorian and Edwardian properties often have historic plaster. We fill cracks, stabilize loose areas, and ensure surfaces are sound.
Old Paint Layers
Flaking or incompatible paint gets properly removed rather than painted over.
Surface Contaminants
Kitchen grease, nicotine staining, water marks all need specific treatments.
Woodwork Condition
We sand, fill, and prime timber properly. Knots get sealed to prevent bleed-through.
Proper preparation adds time upfront but saves money long-term. Well-prepared surfaces make paint last 2-3 times longer.
Painting Cardiff’s Interior Spaces
Our local experience matters when painting Cardiff’s distinctive homes:
Victorian/Edwardian Terraces
High ceilings need careful color balancing. We respect original features while updating for modern living.
Period Features
Cornicing, picture rails, and dado rails get proper attention. These details define character.
Compact Rooms
Many Cardiff homes have smaller rooms. Strategic color choices maximize perceived space and light.
We understand local architecture and can work with listed buildings when required.
Common Interior Painting Mistakes
Avoiding these common pitfalls ensures lasting results:
Skipping the Primer
Primer seals surfaces, improves coverage, and ensures proper adhesion. It’s essential when painting new plaster, bare wood, or making dramatic color changes.
Buying Cheap Paint
Budget paint requires more coats and covers poorly. It fails quickly too. Premium paint costs more upfront but saves money through better coverage and longer life.
Ignoring Undertones
That perfect greige can turn pink, green, or purple depending on your lighting. Adjacent colors affect it too. This is why we always test in your actual space.
Rushing Between Coats
Each layer needs proper drying time. Rushing causes poor adhesion, visible brush marks, and early failure.
