Ceiling Painting Services
High Ceilings and Access
Victorian villas in Norham Gardens, Woodstock Road, and Park Town have reception room ceilings at 3.5 to 4 metres. Your decorator brings access equipment suited to each room’s ceiling height. Radcliffe Decorators also covers dedicated professional wall painting services.
For staircase voids rising three or four floors, see our staircase painting page.
Cornicing and Ceiling Rose Masking
Original plaster cornicing and ceiling roses are expensive to replace if damaged. Your decorator masks cornicing before ceiling work starts and cuts in cleanly.
Mould Treatment and Damp Ceilings
Kitchen and bathroom ceilings collect condensation and develop mould. Your decorator treats affected areas before any painting begins. See our bathroom painting page for wet room ceilings.
Ceiling as Part of a Full Room
Most ceiling work is part of a full room repaint. Radcliffe Decorators covers interior painting all rooms in sequence with minimal disruption.
Here’s How It Works
1. Assessment and Access Planning
Your decorator measures ceiling height, check for mould or damp, and notes any cornicing or ceiling roses.
2. Floor and Furniture Protection
Full dust sheets on floors. Furniture moved or masked to the centre of the room.
3. Surface Preparation
Any mould treated. Cracks and hairline fractures filled and sanded. Stained areas receive a stain-blocking primer.
4. Masking of Cornicing
Cornicing upper face and any ceiling roses masked before the ceiling coat is applied.
5. Paint Application
Two coats of ceiling white or the chosen colour, working in sections to avoid lap marks.
6. Final Inspection
Your decorator checks the ceiling in raking light and completes touch-ups before leaving.
