Interior Painting Christchurch 

Ceilings are the forgotten surface. People repaint their walls every few years but forget to look up.

Yellow, stained, or cracked ceilings make even fresh walls look tired. Ceiling painting in Christchurch homes is something we recommend every 7-10 years, or sooner if you've had any water damage or smoke exposure.

Painting ceilings takes skill. The paint shows every imperfection. Roller marks, drips, uneven coverage, it all shows on a ceiling because of how light hits it.

We use special ceiling-grade paints that dry flat and hide those small imperfections. Our team knows how to cut in around light fittings and vents without making a mess. If your ceiling has textured coating that's damaged, we can talk about options for that too.

One thing we always tell people: ceiling painting is messy. But we take care of it. We cover floors. We cover furniture. At the end, you'd never know we were there except for your beautiful new ceiling.

Here's a job that often gets overlooked: door & window frame painting.

Your frames work hard. They expand and contract with temperature changes. Window frames deal with condensation in winter. Door frames get bumped every time someone walks through.

In Christchurch, we see a lot of older homes with original timber frames that have been painted many times over the years. Sometimes the paint is so thick it affects how the door closes. We can strip back problem areas and give you a fresh start.

Door & window frame painting need the right paint. We use semi-gloss or gloss water-based enamel because it's wipeable and handles moisture well. This is especially important for bathroom and kitchen frames where steam and splashes are common.

We also check for rot while we're working. If a frame has soft spots, better to fix it now than discover it later. We can do minor repairs or point you to a builder for bigger issues.

Good painting starts with good surfaces. That's why we work closely with plasterers in Christchurch.

If your walls have cracks, holes, or damaged Gib, painting over them won't help. You need proper plaster repairs first. We either do this work ourselves for minor repairs, or we bring in a skilled plasterer for bigger jobs.

Christchurch has unique plastering needs because of earthquake damage. Many homes had repairs done quickly after the quakes, and some of that work is now showing its age. Cracks appearing. Joins separating. Patches that don't quite match.

We work with plasterers who specialise in Christchurch homes. They understand our housing stock. They know how to match existing textures and finishes. When the plastering is done right, the paint looks perfect.

If your walls need plastering before painting, we'll tell you upfront. We'd rather delay a job and do it right than paint over problems that will show through later.

Sometimes paint isn't the answer. Sometimes you want pattern, texture, or a look that paint just can't give you.

As interior painting specialists, we're also experienced wallpaper installers. We hang wallpaper and remove old wallpaper, so you get the complete service from one team.

Wallpaper removal is actually one of the trickier jobs we do. Some wallpapers come off easy. Others have been up for 40 years and fight back. The glue residue needs to come off completely or it affects whatever goes on next. We take our time with removal because rushing it causes problems down the track.

When it comes to hanging new wallpaper, we treat it with the same care as our painting work. Proper wall preparation. Careful pattern matching. Clean edges and seams. Whether it's a simple textured paper or a complex geometric pattern that needs precise alignment, we handle it.

We can do your whole project under one roof. Paint most of the room, hang feature wallpaper on an accent wall, paint the trim to tie it all together. No need to coordinate between different trades. One team, one timeline, one point of contact.

Wallpaper is making a big comeback in Christchurch. We're seeing bold patterns in powder rooms, textured papers in bedrooms, and statement walls in lounges. Floral prints in older character homes. Modern geometrics in new builds. If wallpaper is the look you want, we can make it happen from removal of the old stuff right through to hanging your new choice.
