Interior painting

Walls, ceilings, doors, frames and stairs.

I cover the floor and your furniture, mask everything neatly and put two coats on walls and ceilings. I sand doors and frames first and fill holes and joints. I clear up every evening, so you can simply stay at home.

  • Two coats, paint included
  • Floor and furniture covered
  • Tidied up every day

Protector over the floor, sheeting over furniture

Wallpaper and wall finishes

Glass-fibre lining, renovation fleece and ordinary wallpaper.

A wall with hairline cracks or an old layer becomes smooth again with glass-fibre lining or renovation fleece. Then I paint it in the colour you choose. If you've bought wallpaper yourself, I'll hang it, including a pattern that needs matching.

  • Old wallpaper off
  • Glass-fibre lining or renovation fleece
  • Patterns neatly matched
Surface
Old layers off, holes and cracks filled
Hanging
Lengths plumb, seams invisible
Painting
Glass-fibre lining and fleece painted twice in your colour

fixed price€85per wood rot spot

04

Wood rot and maintenance

Repairing rotten spots before you paint.

Wood rot is usually in the bottom corner of a frame or in the sill. I rout out the rotten wood and fill it with two-part wood filler. If it's too far gone, I splice in a new piece of wood. Then it goes into the lacquer round.

  • Price per spot
  • New hardwood sills
  • A maintenance round every year
Repair
Rotten wood out, two-part filler in
New wood
Hardwood for sills and large spots
Finish
Primed and included in the lacquer round
Maintenance
Washing and touching up, once a year

What I don't do

I'd rather do less, but do it well. For the work below I know tradespeople I can recommend.

  • PlasteringFilling cracks yes, plastering whole walls no.
  • uPVC framesThose need a spray booth, not a brush.
  • Four-storey facadesThat needs a cherry picker and a bigger team.
  • Lacquering floorsI leave that to a floor specialist.

Not sure what your wall or frame needs?

Send a picture with what you'd like. I'll tell you honestly whether a coat of paint will do, or whether it needs repairing first.
