Why Choose Professional Wall Painters?
We've seen many DIY disasters that cost more to fix than hiring professionals. Here are the top 7 reasons to hire a pro:
Expert Knowledge
Different walls need different approaches. Preston's housing mix means we work on lime plaster (1800s-1920s), cement render (1950s-80s), and modern plasterboard. Period property painting needs special techniques for these traditional materials.
Speed
Professional painters finish jobs 3-5 times faster than DIY. We have the right tools and experience.
Better Materials
We have access to trade-quality paints from Dulux Trade and Crown Trade that aren't available to DIY customers. These professional-grade paints give superior coverage and much longer-lasting results.
Insurance
Fully insured with public liability coverage for complete peace of mind.
Problem Prevention
Experienced painters spot issues before they become expensive problems. This expertise is vital for Preston's older houses.
Safety
Professional equipment for height work, proper ventilation, and safe material handling. We're trained to identify lead paint in period properties.
Value for Money
When you factor in materials, equipment hire, time off work, and mistakes - professional painting often costs similar to quality DIY but gives better results.
Interior Wall Painting Services
Rose Decor paints interior walls for all types of Preston homes, from Victorian terraces near the city centre to modern houses in Fulwood and Cottam.
We know how different house types affect your walls.
Victorian and Edwardian Homes
These older Preston houses often have lime plaster walls that need special care. We use breathable paints that work with old wall materials, stopping damp problems common in areas like Ashton and Ribbleton.
1950s-1980s Housing
Many Preston homes from this period have different wall types. We check if walls are solid or hollow, then choose the right preparation and paints.
Modern Homes
Newer properties typically have smooth plasterboard walls. We use the right primers to get perfect coverage on these surfaces.

Exterior Wall Painting Services
Preston's wet Lancashire weather needs exterior paints that handle rain, wind, and temperature changes.
Rose Decor understands what exterior paints work best in our local climate.
Rendered Walls
Common on 1960s-80s housing estates, these walls need flexible paints that move as buildings expand and contract. We fix cracks first to stop water getting in.
Brick Walls
Many Preston terraces have exposed brick. When painting is needed, we use special paints that let walls breathe whilst keeping weather out.
Textured Walls
Pebbledash and roughcast are popular on Preston's semi-detached homes. These bumpy surfaces need special techniques and quality paints for even coverage.
Windows and Doors
We paint UPVC and timber using special primers that stick properly. For wood, we use breathable paints that stop moisture buildup.
Our Wall Painting Process
Our proven 6-step process ensures great results every time:
1. Check Your Walls
We look at your walls, identify the type, check existing paint, and spot any repairs needed. Preston's mix of old and new housing means we see everything from 1800s plaster to modern walls.
2. Protect and Prepare
We cover furniture and floors. We fill holes, sand rough spots, and clean walls properly. In older Preston homes, we safely test for and remove lead paint.
3. Fix Problems
We repair cracks, replace damaged plaster, and treat damp issues. Victorian terraces often need extra work due to age.
4. Apply Primer
We use the right primer for your wall type and chosen paint. New plaster, old painted walls, and UPVC all need different primers.
5. Paint Application
Two coats minimum using professional methods. We keep edges wet and ensure even coverage, especially in tricky areas like stairwells.
6. Final Check
We inspect all areas, clean up completely, and show you the finished work before we're done.
