Ceiling

Very poor ceiling condition above stairs in this 300+ year old cottage.

Before

After

Plenty of mesh repair tape and Toupret filler, then sanded before top coats of Zinsser Grade 1 - flat matt white finish (a primer, sealer and finish in one, requires no washing down & no additional primer. It’s vapour permeable film allows the painted substrate to ‘breathe’ whilst the finish contains a biocide to protect the dried coating against fungal degradation. The paint film dries with zero tension which reduces the likelihood of future cracking, flaking and peeling.

After

Customer requested downlighters to be painted (had become tarnished over time) as per ceiling. After repairing gaps between housing and ceiling all were primed with Zinsser Bulls Eye and then painted with Dulux Trade vinyl matt white. No more off-white/yellow lights in ceiling, and they blend better with their surroundings.
