Wallpaper hanging in Bristol

Cabot Decorating has recently finished redecorating this hall and stairs in Bristol. The ceilings were stripped and prepared before cross lining and painting. The painted woodwork was prepared and two coats of Dulux Timeless Satinwood applied. The timber trim and doors were finished in Dulux satin varnish. Finally Botanical Rose wallpaper in Cranberry by John Lewis was hung. This traditional floral wallpaper provides a more cosy and inviting welcome to a once neglected corridor.

Wallpapering and painting ceilings in Bristol

Old lathe and plaster ceilings like in this Bristol hallway I decorated recently are often in a poor condition with a rough unstable surface. At first glance they may look like they need replastering but they can be improved ready for redecorating by cross lining them with a 1000 or 1200 grade lining paper. Wallpapering with quality lining paper is a very effective way to prepare uneven ceilings and walls ready for decoration.

Painting and decorating in Downend Bristol

Cabot Decorating have just completed decorating a hall and stairs in a cosy post-war home in Downend, Bristol.

I stripped off all the old blown vinyl wallpaper whilst retaining the original 50′s embossed ceiling paper.

I filled all the walls, rubbed them down and sized up before drop lining them using a 1000 grade lining paper.

Lining paper provides a sound surface for painting or finished wallpaper.

Another hall and stairs successfully transformed by Cabot Decorating.

The walls were painted with two coats of Dulux Almond White washable Diamond Matt finish.

Ding Dong Ding-Dong! This 1950′s door chime makes a statement.

           The glazed oak door and surround makes a nice contrast against the neutral walls.

The ceilings were repaired and made good before applying Brilliant White Vinyl Matt.

The doors and woodwork were prepared and painted with traditional White Satinwood.

My next project will be a large hall and stairs to paint and paper in Siston village near Bristol.

Painting and Decorating in South Gloucestershire

Early last month Cabot Painting and Decorating carried out some external redecorating near Pucklechurch in South Gloucestershire.

This hardwood conservatory hadn’t been treated for over 10 years! Some of the joinery was badly weathered and the sills had become denatured. I used a belt and orbital sander’s to take all the timber back to sound wood. The bare wood was primed using Sikkens Cetol HLS plus followed by two coats of Dulux Weathershield Ultimate Woodstain for up to 10 years protection.

Exterior Painting and Decorating

I used Weathershield Ultimate for its high build properties ideal for neglected exterior woodwork  instead of the equivalent Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 which is a thinner product with a lower film thickness more suited to new joinery in my opinion.

 Painting Garage DoorYou can’t beat doing a nice bit of gloss work  on a sunny day. This double garage door was painted in traditional green colour Dulux Hollybush to match the front door to the property.

The ceiling was stripped and re skimmed before redecorating. The walls were stripped and prepared and a new picture rail fitted to minimize the impact of the high ceiling. The walls were drop lined with 1000 grade lining paper to provide a sound surface for decoration before the walls were painted in 2 coats of Dulux Timeless Vinyl Matt. Finally all the painted woodwork was finished in brilliant white undercoat & gloss.
