Three Steps to Preparing for Professional Painters and Decorators
You will probably be excited at the prospect of having a room in your home decorated by professional painter and decorators. For one thing, you’ll be adding a new lease of life to your property, but more importantly, it means you don’t have to do the job yourself, with all the hassle and hard work that entails!
But is there anything you should do before your painter and decorator arrives, to make sure the job runs smoothly and that none of your property gets damaged? Here, we look at three simple steps homeowners should take before painting and decorating companies start work.
1. Move as Much of the Furniture Out as Possible
2. Remove Wall and Ceiling Decorations
If your TV is wall mounted, then of course this should be removed too, to avoid accidental damage. In terms of light fittings, if you’re wary about electrics, ask your local painter and decorator if they can tackle these before painting – otherwise, remove lighting fixtures or drop them from the ceiling to allow the whole ceiling to be painted.
3. Make Sure the Room Is as Clean as Possible
Do all this before your domestic or commercial decorators arrive, and they can get on with the job in hand as soon as they arrive. Otherwise, you may end up paying for their time while they wait for you to prepare!
