Interior Trim Painting
small recoating jobs on sound painted skirting and architraves
Service overview
Fresh trim may look different beside aged walls or an unpainted door. Discuss the intended boundary and finish expectation. The quote should identify the actual surfaces rather than imply that all adjoining paintwork will be refreshed at the same time.
Mark which runs and door surrounds are included rather than describing the whole room as trim work. Profiles, corners and access can affect preparation. An approximate length and photographs help distinguish a small refresh from a larger renovation repaint.
Grooves and moulded corners can retain loose paint or dirt that affects adhesion. The profile should be visible in the enquiry photos. Preparation must stay within suitable non-hazardous methods and does not imply stripping unknown old coatings.
The agreed service covers small interior trim preparation and recoating after substrate suitability review. Exclusions: Structural timber repair, hazardous coating removal, external window restoration, large renovation repaint.
Common situations
Low trim is easily knocked by cleaning equipment and furniture. Allow the product-specific drying and curing stages before normal contact. Exact readiness depends on the coating and conditions, so no universal same-day cleaning promise should be assumed.
An existing glossy coating may require different preparation from a matt surface. Tell Fix Nik what product was used if known. A compatible coating system and finish should be agreed before buying materials solely to match an old colour label.
Painting to a natural break may provide a clearer finish boundary than touching up several scattered spots. Whether that is useful depends on condition and matching expectations. Any extension of the paint area should be agreed before work begins.
Kensington property context
Planning interior trim painting in Kensington starts with the actual item and its setting. Send close views of the trim profile and current finish, wider room photos and an approximate length of the affected sections. The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. A useful Kensington enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.

Confirm the Kensington address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
