Canterbury’s Ceiling Painting Specialists
Period Ceilings with Cornicing
Georgian and Victorian properties carry cornicing, ceiling roses, and plaster friezes. We cut in around cornicing and ceiling roses by hand with a brush.
Canterbury Decorators cover ceilings as part of a full room repaint or as a standalone ceiling-only job.
Crack Repair and Preparation
Ceilings in period properties develop cracks from structural movement. We rake out hairline cracks, fill with flexible filler, and sand smooth before any paint goes on.
Mould Treatment
Bathroom and kitchen ceilings take the most moisture. We treat existing mould with a specialist treatment before any preparation begins. See also our bathroom painting service.
Stain Sealing
Water stains from historic leaks are common in Canterbury’s older properties. We apply a specialist stain block before the ceiling coat. This seals the stain completely.
Our Ceiling Painting Process
1. Ceiling Assessment
We inspect for cracks, staining, mould, and failing paint. We identify the plaster type and ceiling height.
2. Preparation
Cracks raked out and filled. Staining sealed. Mould treated. Loose paint removed.
3. Priming
New plaster or bare repairs receive a sealing coat before the finish paint goes on.
4. Ceiling Painting
One or two finish coats applied. Cornicing and ceiling roses cut in by hand.
5. Final Inspection
We inspect the finished ceiling in good light and deal with any missed areas.
