Plasterboard Painting Services
Sealing and Mist Coat
New plasterboard is highly porous. Your decorator applies a sealing coat (diluted mist coat) to the full surface first. This seals the porosity evenly.
Taped and Jointed Board
Some extensions use taped and jointed board rather than skim coat. The joints must be filled and sanded flush. Your decorator assesses this on plasterboard ceilings and walls.
Extension and Loft Decoration
Your decorator quotes for the extension decoration and the existing interior refresh together. See our home renovation page for full programmes.
Plasterboard Patching
Patches after pipe runs or cable chases need priming and sealing before repainting. The interior painting service covers rooms with patches.
The Plasterboard Painting Process
1. Surface Assessment
Your decorator inspects the plasterboard, checks whether skimmed or jointed, and assesses joint quality.
2. Joint Preparation
Any proud joints or visible fixings are sanded flush.
3. Mist Coat
A diluted sealing coat is applied to the full surface.
4. Assessment
Once dry, your decorator checks for remaining visible joints. Any imperfections are filled and re-sealed.
5. Finish Coat
One or two finish coats of the chosen emulsion are applied.
