Interior Painting

Clean, hard-wearing interior repaints, walls, ceilings, woodwork and trim, with proper prep and a tidy, lasting finish.

Interior Painting by BGDecorators in Hertfordshire

Interior painting is the bulk of what we do, repainting walls, ceilings, woodwork, skirting, doors and trim across homes and businesses around Broxbourne and the wider Lea Valley. Whether it's freshening up a single room or a whole-house repaint after moving in, the approach is the same: get the preparation right, then apply the paint cleanly so the finish lasts and the room looks properly finished.

Most rooms are turned around in a day or two once the prep is done, and we work tidily, floors and furniture sheeted, edges cut in by hand, low-odour paints used where we can, and everything cleared away at the end of each day so you can still live in the house while we work.

What’s involved

  • Walls and ceilings in the finish you want, matt, soft sheen, or a wipeable finish for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways
  • Woodwork: skirting, architraves, doors, window boards and built-in joinery
  • Filling, caulking and sanding so walls and trim are smooth before any topcoat
  • Cutting in by hand for crisp lines where walls meet ceilings, trim and edges
  • Floors, furniture and fittings protected, with a daily tidy-up and a final clean

What affects the cost

Every job is different, so we quote each one rather than publish fixed prices. These are the things we look at:

  • The number and size of rooms, and the ceiling height
  • How much preparation is needed, filling cracks, repairing plaster or sanding back old gloss takes longer than painting sound walls
  • Big colour changes (for example dark to light) which can mean an extra coat
  • The number of coats the chosen paint and colour need to cover properly
  • The condition of the woodwork, stripping flaking gloss is more involved than a light key and recoat

Common questions

Can we stay in the house while you paint?
Yes, for most interior work you can. We paint room by room, keep everything sheeted and tidy, and use low-odour water-based paints where we can so rooms are usable again quickly. We'll agree the order of rooms with you so the disruption is kept to a minimum.
Do you move furniture and protect the floors?
We move and cover furniture, lift and protect flooring, and mask off anything that isn't being painted. Anything heavy or fragile we'll talk through with you beforehand.
How long does a room take?
A typical room is one to two days depending on its size, how much filling and prep it needs, and the number of coats. We'll give you a realistic timescale with your quote rather than an optimistic one.
Do you do the preparation, or just the painting?
Preparation is the job, filling, sanding, caulking and priming are what make a finish last. It's all included; we don't skip it to save time.
