A few handy pointers from the team. And if in doubt, just ask us.

Decorating Tips

How much paint?

You have picked your colour, but how many litres will you need for your room?

Calculate the wall area of the room: you will need one litre for every 12 square metres.

The quick method

To determine the wall area, multiply the height of each wall by its width (do not subtract for doors and windows unless they take up more than half the wall), then total the figures for the walls. Add 10 percent for future touch-ups. For two coats, double the number.

If in doubt, we are always happy to advise. When we visit to quote, we will work out exactly what your project needs, so there are no surprises and no waste.

Careful preparation before decorating

Good preparation is what makes a decorating job last. We never rush the prep, because a clean, careful finish is what tells the difference between a job that looks good for a year and one that looks good for a decade.
