Interior painting and preparation

The finish depends far more on preparation than on the paint. A good painter fills cracks and nail holes, sands, spot-primes bare patches and dusts down before the first coat. Skipping this is why a fresh emulsion job starts flaking within a year.

Two coats over a properly primed wall is standard; a dark colour going over white, or white over dark, will usually need three.

• Crack filling, sanding and priming
• Ceilings, walls, skirting and doors
• Emulsion, satin and gloss finishes
• Feature walls and colour consultation

Exterior painting and weather protection

Uganda's two rainy seasons are hard on exterior walls. Exterior work should be scheduled in a dry window, with washing, algae treatment and a masonry primer before weather-guard paint goes on. Painting over a damp or dusty wall guarantees peeling.

• House exterior and boundary wall painting
• Weather-guard and textured masonry coatings
• Algae, moss and efflorescence treatment
• Gates, grilles, roofs and metal work

Damp patches, stains and repairs

A brown patch on a ceiling is a roof or plumbing leak, and painting over it without fixing the source is wasted money. Painters normally advise having the leak repaired first, then stain-blocking the area before repainting.

• Ceiling water stains after roof leaks
• Rising damp at the base of walls
• Mould treatment in bathrooms and kitchens
• Patch repairs and colour matching

Offices, shops and rental properties

Commercial repainting is usually scheduled after hours or over a weekend to avoid disrupting business. Landlords repainting between tenants normally ask for a per-room price and a fixed turnaround so the unit can be re-let quickly.

• Office and retail repainting out of hours
• Rental turnaround painting between tenants
• Branding colours and signage walls
• Multi-unit apartment blocks
