Some important tips about paint preparation
Filling and sanding takes time and the
right products. Grime and dust may
not be obvious but surfaces almost
always need cleaning.
Blistering, flaking, and peeling of paint
on wooden surfaces is usually caused
by moisture under the paint. Painting over
stains (for example, caused by water)
can involve special steps, as can
painting surfaces previously treated
with stains and oils.
Water problems need proper fixing
before you paint, and often another
tradesman will need to do this for you.
They are often a sign of a greater
problem and your painter will rely on
you if you say the problem is fixed. If
it's not, and the paint job then fails,
your ability to complain will be limited.
If inside, the problem may be
condensation. Painting in wet areas
requires special steps to be taken.
Don’t skimp on costs if it means
skimping on preparation. The
the cheapest quote may well be because
there is less preparation.
