Decorating and plaster repairs

Between tenancies, walls and ceilings show every picture hook, scuff and patch of Blu Tack. PRG fills, repairs and repaints so rooms look clean and consistent for the next tenant or for viewings. The work usually starts with making good: filling holes and cracks, cutting out and patching damaged plaster, and sanding back so repairs do not show through the paint. New plaster gets a mist coat before the finish coats. Marks from water, smoke or nicotine are sealed with a stain block so they do not bleed back through. We decorate walls, ceilings and woodwork, including doors, frames and skirting. Most landlords choose a neutral colour that is easy to touch up, and keeping the same shade from one tenancy to the next makes small repairs quicker in future. How long it takes depends on the number of rooms, how much making good is needed and whether the property is empty. Work in a vacant property is usually quicker than decorating around tenants and furniture. Send a photo of each damaged area and a wider shot of every room on the list, with the colours already used if you have them. If a stain keeps coming back, tell us, as it may point to a leak that should be fixed before decorating.
