How to Prepare Walls for Painting in Plumstead

Wall preparation in Plumstead's older housing stock requires particular attention to accumulated paint layers and substrate assessment. High-pressure wash all exterior surfaces. Apply fungicidal treatment on any walls with biological growth. Assess paint adhesion carefully on older properties - test by pressing firmly and checking if paint lifts. Remove all failed paint layers before repainting. Fill all cracks with flexible acrylic filler. Apply appropriate primer. Never skip priming - on older substrates it is the most important step. See our full Plumstead guide.

Plumstead Painters never skips preparation. Every surface cleaned, assessed and primed before topcoat.
