For one reason or another, we will all, at least once in our lives, need to paint one or more rooms of our house. And for some of us (this is the experience talking!) we have no idea how to do it properly, and how to avoid irreversible errors when painting. You can always go for house painter in London but it will not be as satisfying as getting your hands dirty to do the job!

Thoroughly clean walls to keep paint tight – If you paint on dirty surfaces, oil, etc. The paint will peel away when dry. Therefore, remove dust, dirt and grease stains, with water, some mild dishwashing liquid and a sponge. Rinse with clean water to remove soap residue.

List the equipment to be purchased – Make a list before going to buy all the material, this will save you a lot of time in the store. Of course, when buying, do not skimp on the costs, the cheapest paint will certainly save you money, but you might well spoil your beautiful work with a mediocre finish.

Some things to keep in mind when developing your list: cleaning products, paint, adhesive tape, rolls, brushes, ladder, floor protection and furniture protection, 5 litre buckets etc.

Mix several paint pots in a large bucket to obtain a uniform colour – The colour of the paint may vary slightly from one pot to another. Therefore, if you find yourself without paint in the middle of a half-painted wall, and you start another pot, the difference in hue could be noticeable. To avoid this, mix in a large bucket of 5 litres for example, 2 pots of 2 litres of paint.
