    Thinking About Interior Painting In Kensington?

    Interior House Painters Kensington

    Just incase all you think we do is exterior painting, here’s proof that we can, and do, work inside. We are interior painting Kensington, house by house.

    As you can see, the paint isn’t even dry yet! But most importantly, as you can see, we clean and tidy after ourselves. Yes we got the vacuum out and wiped down the surfaces. That’s what we do.

    I daresay the client isn’t even home yet, but he’ll come back to a freshly painted home on a Friday evening and won’t have to do a thing. Not an iota.

    • Ceilings: Dulux Professional ceiling white
    • Walls: Dulux Wash & Wear matt Whisper White

    Bespoke Painters Painting – House Painters Ascot Vale

    How did we get to the top of this house?

    This very unique house had unique access problems too.

    On the side of a hill, the area infront was muddy grass, and in some places only 2 metres of space. It would be foolish to consider ladders.
    Cherry picker/Knuckle boom? Electricity wires in the way.
    Scaffold, whilst expensive, was the only option in this case. Your House Painters Ascot Vale.

    Victorian Weatherboard House Painters

    As Victorian Weatherboard House Painters, I’ll tell you the secret on how to make a victorian weatherboard house look good. It’s simple, really simple. It’s Preparation. The unfortunate thing about preparation is time, because it takes time. A lot of time!

    The front of this weatherboard house took 16 hours of preparation. Yes, just the front of the house. As a result in your weekend would be lost. Without even picking up a paint brush!

    • Weatherboards: Tranquil Retreat low sheen.
    • Trim: Lexicon half semi gloss
    • Trim: Ironstone semi gloss.

    Note to oneself. Tranquil Retreat is very ‘in’ at the moment, but don’t tell everyone! Sterling Exterior Painters for more details.

  • Face Painting Weatherboard Homes in Winter? We Do

    Face Painting Weatherboard Homes in Winter? We Do

    Painting Weatherboard Homes in Winter – Kensington

    We always get asked to paint weatherboard houses, but especially in winter. Why? You may ask. I assume that come Autumn, everyone’s house looks a little dull. So I guess we’ll be painting weatherboard homes in winter again!

    The same people also think that winter would be too cold/rainy etc to paint outside. Whilst us painters aren’t exactly happy with the colder, wetter weather. The paint dries slower, and that’s better than drying too fast a hot day in summer, and as a result, makes for a better finish. Less brush marks, less joins. Wet edges keep wet for much longer, no need to use acrylic paint conditioners, and less washing brushes at the end of the day, as the brush isn’t caked with paint.

    So even on a rainy day in June, under the veranda, there will be us exterior house painters, looking a little sad, sanding and painting away. No we aren’t cold, as painting is a active pursuit, but we’ll be checking the forecasts, the rain radar throughout the day. Still looking a little sad!

    Paints Used:

    • Weatherboards: Dulux Weathershield Semi Gloss – Lime White Gloss
    • Trim: Dulux Weathershield Gloss – Triple strength Ecru
    • Front Door: Heritage Paints Gloss. Sorry the colour has Slipped my Mind!

  • Painting The Decorative Details – Awnings

    Painting The Decorative Details – Awnings

    Painting Decorative Details. Kensington

    Decorative awnings look great but, unfortunately they usually come unpainted. Painting decorative details is a little time consuming.

    But if you are a glutton for punishment, painting these four awning involves:

    • Preperation: sanding, gapping filling
    • One coat of primer
    • Two coats of exterior paint

    That’s about 12 hours of our time as professional exterior house painters, double that for you. 24 Hours, 3 days! That’s not just one weekend!

    Painting Lacework, Gorbels and Picket Fences

    All of these take a lot more time than you’d like to believe, because they are the fiddly painting tasks. Lacework is usually iron, so you will need to be priming with a metal primer, after you’ve dealt with any rust, and then you’ll be painting two top coats. Corbels, those things above weatherboard veranda roofs, are fiddly because they have been left to the elements for years. And as so, they are held together by paint, dust and spiders! This painting task will have you lying down upside down. Whilst trying to stay on a veranda roof with your foot in the gutter. Picket fences were designed to be time vacumns. Because after you’ve finished the first picket, you’ve only got another 230 still to do. Then there’s the second and possibly a third coat!

    Paints Used:
