I have recently finished painting & decorating an executive apartment in Guildford Surrey, The apartment is situated in the middle of town with easy access to trains, shops, pubs etc.

One question I get a asked about being a painter & decorator is where do you start on a room? Well the answer is... it depends on what room you need painting & what you need painting, if you were painting and decorating a bedroom and wanted the ceiling, walls and wood trim painted then normally I would start at the ceiling & work my way down to the coving, then paint the walls with a quality emulsion like Little Greene or Mythic paint, and finally moving on to the skirting board and door frames etc.

If painting skirting board I always mask the carpet or wood floor to protect the carpet from paint splatter. It's a fairly simple process but can take a bit of time to do it correctly so that you do not get paint down the side of the carpet.

I have completed yet another painting job in East Grinstead West Sussex, The clients specified Dulux for the walls and for the woodwork trim, I personally do not like Dulux, it's a choice many people and clients seem to make but there are many other brands out there that are just as good & way, way better than Dulux.

I will talk about the "other paints" in another blog, but I was happy to use the painting products requested for the job in East Grinstead. I used Dulux Supermatt Magnolia for the walls and Dulux Satinwood for the trim and after 5 days of hard work in the hot & humid conditions we had here in the South East of England this week it is finished, I used a variety of different brushes and rollers to get the room to a very high finish, some of the brushes used were AXUS, Proform Picasso 1" & 2" and Wooster Roller Sleeves.

You may be wondering why the image of a Blue "Cock" well this has nothing to do with East Grinstead, Lingfield, Dormansland, Ardingly, Forest Row, Haywards Heath, Nutley, Crawley, Gatwick Airport or any of my other regular "hangouts" near East Grinstead. It was a day out I had with my family to London the week before, we had a fantastic time and all boarded the train from East Grinstead Train Station to London Victoria, I won't bore you with all the details but we ended up at Trafalgar Square and this was on one of the plinths, a fine example indeed but this "Chicken" or "Cock" was probably spray painted before it was placed there, if you look closely you can see a London pigeon underneath him.
