Frequently Asked Questions
How long does wall preparation usually take?
The duration depends on the wall’s condition and size. Simple sanding and filling can take a few hours, while extensive repairs might require a day or more. We assess this carefully before starting any job to provide a realistic timeframe.
Do you remove old wallpaper as part of wall preparation?
Yes, removing existing wallpaper is an essential step when preparing walls for repainting or new wallpaper. Colin Lambert Painter & Decorator ensures this is done thoroughly to avoid any bumps or residue affecting the new finish.
Can wall preparation help with damp or damaged walls?
Wall preparation can address minor surface damage and improve appearance, but significant damp issues should be treated separately before decorating. We can advise on the best steps to take for such problems in Stafford and surrounding areas.
