I don’t know how people keep their vans this tidy. It’s impressive and everything, and I don’t know if I’m on my own or not, but I don’t have the will or the time to be this organised. #organise #van #trades

How much of your work now is with ‘paste the paper’ rather than non-woven? There doesn’t seem to be as much papering nowadays anyway, but it feels like an absolute ball ache having to get the table out in tight rooms. #decorator #paper #paste

Door painting action. Proper painting covers the face and edges so the surface looks uniform when it closes.

You might scoff, but deep down you know your lines would be sharper if you used tape. You’re letting stubbornness get in the way of producing better work. #tape #decorator #painting

I don’t care how skilled you are, you won’t get as sharp a line freehand as I will with tape. #decorating #sharp #tape

Absolutely brilliant on bare plaster! Sprays lovely, has good opacity and feels like a substantial coating (not like a powdery contract matt). Available directly from @Tikkurila_UK , or from @Nextdaypaint , The Paint Shed, Decorating Centre Online PRO, PaintWell, @topdecbrush , and Rabart Decorators Merchants. #Sponsored

How long would it take you to decorate this room? Painting only - prep and 2-3 coats on everything. #pricing #Painting

I really like this gloss. I don’t know if anyone else has used it or what you think? It’s a hybrid, so it’s still got a nice sheen level. It’s easy enough to use and levels off well. I know Little Greene costs a bit more money, but it’s always quality paint. Little Greene Intelligent Gloss is available from @Nextdaypaint , Rabart Decorators Merchants, Decorating Centre Online PRO, and The Paint Shed. #sponsored
