RESIDENTIAL PAINTING SERVICES

Paint the home properly, starting with the surfaces underneath.

A good paint finish depends on preparation. Peeling coatings, damaged plaster, cracks, failed sealants and damp-related damage may need attention before the new coating system is applied.

INTERIOR

Interior house painting

Walls, ceilings, doors, trims and other suitable internal surfaces from single rooms to complete interior repaints.

EXTERIOR

Exterior house painting

External walls, fascias and other suitable exterior surfaces where weather exposure and surface condition need to be considered.

PREPARATION

Surface preparation

Cleaning, scraping, sanding, filling and suitable preparation before primers and finishing coats are applied.

REPAIRS

Plaster & crack repairs

Suitable plaster repairs, patching and crack repairs where these need to be dealt with before painting.

COMPLETE OR PARTIAL REPAINTS

The job can be one room or the whole house.

You do not need to be planning a complete repaint. Dial-a-Contractor can also handle smaller painting jobs, individual rooms and repainting following repairs or renovation work.

One or two rooms

Repaint individual rooms, ceilings or selected areas without undertaking the entire home.

Complete interiors

Repaint several rooms or the complete interior of the property.

Exterior repainting

Refresh the external appearance of the home while dealing with suitable preparation and visible surface defects.

Painting after renovations

Complete repaired and altered areas after building, plastering, electrical or other renovation work.

PREPARATION MATTERS

New paint will not fix a failing surface underneath it.

Some visible paint problems are caused by defects beneath the coating. These should be considered before the surface is simply covered with another coat of paint.

Peeling paint

Loose or poorly bonded coatings may need to be removed or properly prepared before repainting.

Damaged plaster

Loose, cracked or damaged plaster may need repair before it can provide a suitable base for the new paint system.

Cracks

Some cracks can be repaired as part of preparation, while larger or recurring cracks may need further assessment.

Damp & staining

Where moisture is causing the paint failure, the underlying water or damp problem should be considered before repainting.

PROBLEMS PAINT ALONE WILL NOT SOLVE

Fix the cause where necessary, not only the visible symptom.

Persistent damp, active leaks, unstable plaster and recurring movement can cause new paint to fail again. Where another trade is needed first, Dial-a-Contractor can arrange the appropriate repair work before painting proceeds.

Roof or waterproofing leaks

Water entering from outside may need roofing or waterproofing work before internal paint repairs make sense.

Plumbing leaks

A leaking pipe or fitting should be repaired before damaged walls or ceilings are made good and repainted.

Failed sealants

Failed joints and sealants can allow moisture into areas that are then repeatedly patched and painted.

Movement cracks

Repeated cracking may need further consideration rather than another layer of filler and paint.

HOMEOWNER QUESTIONS

Common questions before painting your home.

How many coats will I need?

That depends on the existing surface, preparation required, colour change and coating system being used.

Are cracks included?

Minor preparation may form part of the painting work, while larger or recurring cracks may need separate repair or further assessment.

Can you deal with damp before painting?

Where damp or water ingress is present, the likely source should be considered before final painting proceeds.

Can I stay in the house while you paint?

Often yes. It depends on the areas being painted and practical issues such as access, furniture protection and drying time.
