ADF Decorators | Painting & Decorating Experts – Sutton Coldfield & Surrounding Areas

When it comes to achieving a flawless, long-lasting finish for your painting or decorating project, proper surface preparation is essential. At ADF Decorators, based in Sutton Coldfield and proudly serving Tamworth, Lichfield, Walsall, Aldridge, and surrounding areas, we believe that great decorating starts long before the first coat of paint goes on the wall.

​

Why Surface Preparation Matters

Skipping or rushing surface preparation can result in:

Poor paint adhesion
Uneven or patchy finishes
Peeling, cracking, or flaking over time
A reduced lifespan of your paintwork

Whether you're painting interior walls, ceilings, woodwork, or tackling exterior surfaces, proper preparation ensures a professional, durable finish that lasts.

 

Our Surface Preparation Process at ADF Decorators Sutton Coldfield

We use a meticulous, step-by-step approach to ensure every surface is perfectly prepared:

 

1. Dustless Sanding

Our advanced dustless sanding system creates smooth, clean surfaces without the mess. This removes old paint, imperfections, and bumps, while keeping your home tidy and safe.

 

2. Priming & Sealing

We apply high-quality primers and sealers to promote excellent paint adhesion and protect against stains, moisture, and future damage.

 

3. Filling & Smoothing

We expertly fill cracks, holes, and uneven areas before sanding to create a flawless base for your paint or wallpaper.

 

4. Lining Walls (if required)

For the smoothest possible wall finish, particularly on older or uneven surfaces, we can line walls with specialist lining paper before decorating.
