Decorating rented homes in Mildenhall
With about 1,070 privately rented households and around 820 in social housing, end-of-tenancy work is a large share of what we expect in the town. Between lets, rooms usually need holes from fixings filled, water or smoke marks sealed with a Zinsser stain block, and walls repainted in something that can be touched up later. Little Greene Intelligent Matt Emulsion is a good choice for that, as it is washable and breathable.

Interior decorating in Mildenhall's family houses
Council Tax records show the typical Mildenhall home dates from the 1970s. Rooms in those houses are usually a practical size, often with three bedrooms, which covers 43% of homes in the town. Older textured ceilings and dated woodwork finishes are common, and we can arrange for our plasterers to skim a ceiling before we paint.
For owners, about 52% of households, we can help with colour choices by painting tester pots in several spots so you can see each one in morning and evening light.

How we approach interior decorating
In a 1970s Mildenhall house we fill and sand old fixing holes and ceiling cracks with Mirka dust-free sanders, seal any staining with Zinsser, and apply two coats of a hard-wearing emulsion. Old gloss on doors and skirtings is keyed and repainted in satin or eggshell, and rooms are tidied each evening. The full method, products and FAQs are on our interior decorating page.
