Ceiling painting
Stained, yellowed or cracked ceilings refreshed — including stain-blocking water marks for good.
About this job
Water stains bleed straight through ordinary emulsion — they need a proper stain-blocking primer first, or the mark is back within weeks. We treat stains, fill cracks (and tape them where they're likely to re-open), and roll ceilings with the right roller and technique to avoid lap marks and 'picture framing' at the edges. Artex can be over-painted or skimmed first — we'll advise which.
