Ceiling Painting Services
Standard Ceiling Repaints
Ceiling repaints are straightforward on modern properties with smooth plasterboard. On original plaster ceilings, the surface requires more care.
We use ceiling-specific formulations rather than standard emulsion. For a complete room repaint, ceiling work is included as part of our interior painting scope.
High Ceilings and Period Properties
In large Edwardian properties across Bassett, Highfield, and Bitterne Park, ground floor ceilings typically reach 2.8 to 3 metres. We use appropriate access platforms for all ceiling work above 2.4 metres. We also offer dedicated bathroom painting services.
Cornicing and Coving
Edwardian properties retain original plaster cornicing in many rooms. We mask and finish cornicing individually, cutting in between the ceiling and cornice face by hand. We also offer dedicated professional wall painting services.
Original ceiling roses are treated with the same care. These features take longer than a plain ceiling, and they are worth the time.
Water Stains and Damp Marks
We seal water stains with a specialist shellac-based sealer before priming and painting. This prevents bleed-through and produces a lasting result.
Here’s How It Works
1. Ceiling Assessment
We check ceiling height, surface condition, cornicing, and any staining. For high ceilings, we confirm access equipment requirements.
2. Surface Preparation
Cracks and holes are filled and sanded. Water stains are sealed with a specialist sealer.
3. Priming
Repaired and sealed areas are primed before the topcoat for consistent coverage.
4. Paint Application
Ceiling-specific formulation applied using the appropriate roller and cut-in method. Two coats are standard.
5. Inspection
All surfaces are checked in raking light before we leave. Touch-ups completed on the day.
