Walls
Preparation and painting of interior walls, including filling, sanding and the application of a suitable finish for the room.
PAINTING & DECORATING
Interior Painting in London
A well-finished room comes from careful preparation and tidy, consistent painting. EveroDecor provides interior painting for homes, rental properties and decorating projects across London.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PREPARATION
Good interior painting is mostly preparation
Fresh paint can transform a room, but it also shows up every flaw in the surface underneath it. Dents, cracks, rough patches and uneven repairs often become more noticeable once a new colour goes on.
Marks, scuffs and loose or flaking paint can also affect how well the new coat sticks and how long it lasts.
At EveroDecor, preparation is treated as part of the painting process rather than something separate from it.
OUR INTERIOR PAINTING SERVICE
What is included?
Ceilings
Ceilings can be painted as part of the same project so that walls and ceilings are finished together.
Woodwork
Skirting boards, door frames, doors and other interior woodwork can be prepared and painted with a suitable coating.
Surface preparation
Filling, sanding, cleaning and, where required, priming, so the new paint has a sound base to work on.
Protection of the room
Floors, furniture and surrounding areas are protected before preparation and painting begin.
Final inspection
The finished surfaces are checked for coverage, consistency and any areas that may need extra attention.
OUR PROCESS
How we prepare and paint a room
01
Discuss the project
We talk through the rooms, the surfaces to be painted and the finish you're looking for, so the scope of work is clear before we start.
02
Protect the space
Furniture, floors and fittings are covered or protected before any preparation begins.
03
Fill and repair
Suitable holes, dents and small cracks are filled where necessary.
04
Sand and clean
Repaired areas are sanded smooth and surfaces are cleaned so the paint has a consistent base.
05
Prime where necessary
Where a surface or repair requires it, an appropriate primer is applied before the decorative coats.
06
Apply the paint
The chosen paint is applied carefully to achieve even coverage and clean edges, with ceilings, walls and woodwork finished in a sensible order.
PAINT & FINISH
Choosing the right paint for each surface
Different surfaces suit different finishes. Walls are commonly painted in a matt or similar low-sheen finish, which can help soften minor surface variations.
Kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and children's rooms may benefit from a more washable or durable coating, while woodwork is usually painted in a harder-wearing finish such as satin or eggshell.
The best choice depends on the room, the existing surface and the result you want. We can discuss the options before the work begins.
COMMON INTERIOR PROBLEMS
Does your room need more than just paint?
Cracks and holes
Small cracks and holes usually need filling and sanding before painting. The cause of any recurring cracking should be considered rather than simply painted over.
Scuffs and marks
Marks on walls and woodwork may need cleaning or preparation first so the new paint covers and bonds properly.
Peeling or flaking paint
Loose or failing paint generally needs to be removed and the surface prepared before a new coating is applied.
Stains and damp marks
Stains may need a suitable stain-blocking approach, and damp marks should be investigated, since painting over an ongoing problem rarely lasts.

FAQ
Interior painting questions
Do you paint ceilings, walls and woodwork together?
Yes. Interior painting often covers ceilings, walls, skirting boards, doors and frames as one project, which can make the preparation and finishing more consistent.
Do walls need preparing before painting?
Almost always to some extent. Filling holes, sanding repairs and cleaning marks usually make a visible difference to the final finish. The amount of work depends on the condition of the walls.
What finish is best for different rooms?
Matt or low-sheen finishes are common on walls and ceilings, while kitchens, bathrooms and busy areas may suit a more washable coating. Woodwork usually gets a harder-wearing finish. We can talk through the options for each room.
Can you paint a rental property between tenants?
Yes. We work on rental properties as well as private homes, including repainting and repairing surfaces between tenancies.
