Interior painting
in Uccle
Mansards and dormers multiply the joints: that is almost always where the water ends up getting in. That is why interior painting comes back so often in our schedule in Uccle.
The context in Uccle
Why here in particular
Mansards and dormers multiply the joints: that is almost always where the water ends up getting in. So we adapt the equipment and the method rather than applying a standard protocol.
What separates paint that holds from paint that blisters is never the tin. It is the time spent beforehand: filling, sanding, dusting down, primer.

Frequently asked questions
Interior painting in Uccle
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Do the rooms have to be emptied?
No. We move things into the middle and cover them. Fragile items, we would rather you put away yourself.
Matt, satin or velvet?
Matt for ceilings and walls with no traffic, velvet for living rooms, satin for damp rooms and woodwork.
How long before the room can be used again?
A few hours for an acrylic in a ventilated room. In most cases we leave you a usable room the same evening.
Do you come out to Uccle with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Uccle is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
