Wall Painting Services
Lime Plaster Walls
Lime plaster is the original wall finish in Oxford’s Victorian and Edwardian housing. Your decorator uses breathable primers, not standard PVA. Standard PVA seals the surface and traps moisture.
New Plaster and Skimmed Walls
Newly skimmed walls need thorough drying before painting. See our home renovation page for renovation programmes.
Wall Preparation and Filling
Your decorator fills all imperfections before any topcoat. In period properties, this includes systematic filling of hairline cracking across the entire wall surface.
Premium Paint Application
Farrow & Ball and Little Greene require correct handling. Our interior painting page covers the full scope including walls, ceilings, and woodwork.
Here’s How It Works
1. Wall Surface Assessment
Your decorator assesses each wall’s plaster type, existing paint condition, and surface imperfections.
2. Crack Filling and Repair
All imperfections filled with the appropriate filler for the plaster type.
3. Sanding and Surface Prep
Filled areas and the broader wall surface lightly sanded for sound adhesion.
4. Primer Application
Breathable primer on lime plaster. Standard primer on gypsum. Diluted sealing coat on new plaster.
