Soho Decorators
TIP ONE:
‘It’s only a lick of paint’…However, it’s not as easy as you may think! If you do give it a go then research and use good quality equipment, products and materials, although you may find it a challenge before you even start, having to source, collect and deliver materials to your own door step if you live or work in a central London area such as Soho.
Then of course there’s time management – from starting the process through to moving the last piece of furniture back into place once the project is complete.
Or, you can of course get a quote…then work out how you will spend your free time, whether working at what you do best or relaxing.
TIP TWO:
Probably the most underrated and important discipline: Preparation, Preparation and Preparation. Before a drop of paint is applied make sure any surface has been properly prepared by stripping back all existing waste then create a smooth seamless foundation before properly priming for the best results…Experience and patience are both virtues.
TIP THREE:
Cutting In, once prepared concentrate on the wall to ceiling edges, around door & window frames and skirting before applying main bulk of paint. One of many FoxSoho disciplines, they say ‘anyone can paint but not everyone can decorate’
A requisite for a maintenance company, FoxSoho has a dedicated team on site, fully equipped with the appropriate equipment, tools, materials as well as bags of knowledge and enthusiasm.
When you have the history and the character of the buildings we maintain in Soho, from Golden Square to Soho Square along with listed historical architecture such as property in Meard Street then knowledge along with pain staking preparation is the difference. Whether it’s a small patch of wall, a ceiling in need of attention or an entire refurbishment project we pride ourselves on our work.
Obviously this is assuming it’s an interior painting and decorating project you may require. Exterior projects can be even more challenging in many respects when accounting for the number of floors or height of building, access, correct weather proofing materials, scaffolding if required, the elements, sourcing equipment, various permits, which material is in need of some TLC; wood, stone or metal…the list is endless.
If you’re a resident or business in Soho, whether it’s your sitting room that’s a little tired, a landlord requiring a comprehensive refurbishment or a fully fledged business launch in Soho or the West End of London we’re on your doorstep…every day, so a quick response is guaranteed to discuss and execute any painting and decorating project in Soho and the West End of London, big or small.
