Interior Painting in Earl's Court, Chelsea

Interior Painting in Earl's Court

Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of every surface in your property. In Chelsea properties, this often means evaluating decades of accumulated paint layers, testing for lead paint in pre-1960s properties (which requires specific safe-handling procedures), and carefully assessing the condition of original plasterwork, cornicing, and decorative features. We document the condition of every room and develop a detailed specification that covers the preparation, products, and techniques required for each surface. We use dust-free sanding systems to protect your furnishings and your family's health, apply appropriate primers for each substrate — alkali-resistant primer for fresh plaster, stain-blocking primer for water marks and tannin bleed, adhesion primer for previously glossed surfaces — and build up coats systematically to achieve a lasting, uniform finish. For period features — cornicing, ceiling roses, dado rails, picture rails, and panel mouldings — we use specialist brushes and careful hand-techniques that machine application simply cannot replicate, ensuring every detail is crisp and clean. Throughout the project, we maintain a clean, organised work environment, protecting your floors, furniture, and belongings with professional dust sheets and masking systems.
