Interior painting for Melbourn landlords
Social landlords house almost 18% of the village and private landlords another 10%. Between tenants, a room usually needs fixings filled, scuffs made good, any water stains sealed with Zinsser and a coat of washable matt such as Little Greene Intelligent Matt Emulsion, which can be touched up without repainting the wall.
Flats are uncommon at under 7% of homes, so most rental work here is in houses, with stairs and landings to include.
Owner-occupied homes of every age
Owners make up about 69% of households. In Melbourn that can mean anything from a pre-1900 cottage to a house finished in the last few years, and the preparation changes with it: lining paper on uneven old plaster, a mist coat on new plaster, or careful filling of settlement cracks in a newer build.
Graham can also add kitchen unit painting in Melbourn to the same quotation.

How we approach interior decorating
We cover floors and furniture, fill and sand with Mirka dust-free sanders, stain-block marks, and paint ceilings first, then walls, then woodwork. For rented homes we favour durable, washable finishes. For owners we paint tester pots in several places so colours can be judged in both morning and evening light. The full method, products and FAQs are on our interior decorating page.
