Heroes Mould Remover

A fine-grit sandpaper, typically around 120–180 grit, is ideal for lightly sanding walls and previously painted surfaces. It gently removes minor imperfections and creates a surface that helps the paint stick better without causing unnecessary damage.

Ceilings should be cleaned, repaired and primed as well. Removing dust, repairing any cracks or peeling areas and priming bare plaster on the ceiling will help the paint bond properly, creating a smoother, more even finish.

Preparing your walls properly is the key to achieving the best possible results. Taking the time to clean, repair and prepare the surface helps the paint stick properly, creating better and longer lasting finish.

Fresh plaster should be a consistent light pink colour with no dark patches before you begin decorating. While it can be tempting to start painting sooner, applying paint before the plaster has fully dried can prevent it from bonding properly, leading to patchy coverage and a less durable finish.

Giving fresh plaster enough time to dry creates the perfect foundation for your paint, helping you achieve a smoother finish and long-lasting protection for the spaces that matter most.
