Surface Preparation and Wall Repair
A Better Finish Starts Before the First Coat.
Paint cannot hide every surface problem. Loose paint, unevenness, minor cracks, dust and moisture signs need to be understood before the finishing coats begin.
Preparation may include
- Surface cleaning
- Scraping loose paint
- Sanding
- Minor crack filling
- Spot putty
- Full putty where required
- Surface levelling
- Primer
- Treatment recommended for stains or moisture signs
Not every crack is cosmetic
Minor stable cracks may be addressed within a painting scope. Wider, recurring or moving cracks may indicate a deeper issue requiring technical or structural evaluation.
Premium Walls states clearly what repair is included and what requires another specialist.
Dampness must be diagnosed
Painting over an active moisture problem may temporarily cover the mark without solving the cause. Water entry can originate from terraces, exterior walls, plumbing, bathrooms or adjacent properties.
The source should be investigated before final repainting.
Putty and primer are not interchangeable
Putty helps level and smooth the surface. Primer supports adhesion and creates a suitable base for the finishing coats. The required system depends on whether the wall is new, previously painted, repaired or affected by surface failure.
