Complete Living Room Painting: Ceilings, Coving & Trim
Great results mean painting every part properly.
Most painters only do walls, but we paint your whole living room. Every surface gets our expert care.
Perfect Ceilings
- Swansea's classic Victorian homes have tall ceilings that are 10-12 feet high. These big surfaces show every mistake when light hits them from those large old windows.
- We use special ceiling paint that covers really well. No streaky marks from rollers, no patchy spots, no drips. Just smooth, even paint that makes your room look amazing.
- Textured ceilings and Artex need different ways of painting. We work with what's already there instead of fighting it. This gives you smooth coverage even on bumpy surfaces.
Coving & Decorative Moulding
- Original Victorian coving adds to your home's value when it's painted well. These fancy plaster details need careful hand painting to keep them looking sharp.
- We use special angled brushes to paint clean, straight lines between the coving and walls. Every curve gets individual attention.
- Modern coving in newer homes gets the same careful treatment. Clean, sharp edges that look perfect with your room's style.
Woodwork & Trim
- Skirting boards, door frames, and window trim frame your whole living room. Scratched or badly painted wood ruins everything else.
- We sand everything smooth, use primer, then apply several thin coats for a smooth finish like fine furniture. No brush marks, no missed spots.
- Picture rails and chair rails in older homes get special care. These features help define your room and deserve expert work.

Careful Preparation
Great prep work gives you results that last.
Getting Surfaces Ready
- We clean all surfaces to remove dust, dirt, and grease.
- Any cracks and holes get filled with filler, then we sand them smooth when they're dry.
- All woodwork gets sanded to make it smooth for painting.
- We scrape off any old paint that's peeling or chipping.
- We put primer on all bare wood and filled spots so the new paint sticks well and lasts longer.
Protecting Your Belongings
Big furniture like sofas and TV stands get moved to the middle of the room and covered with thick plastic sheets. We safely store away valuable items and electronics so paint can't splatter on them.
We use heavy-duty dust sheets to cover every bit of your floors - not cheap plastic that rips easily. Carpets get extra protection with special film around the edges so paint can't seep under.
Careful Masking
Light switches, outlets, and fixtures get covered with special tape for clean, straight lines. We mask windows and glass completely so you still get natural light while we work.
Radiators, pipes, and anything that stays in place gets careful protection without hurting the paint job quality.
Project Cleanup
Every project ends with complete cleanup. No open paint cans, no mess for you to walk around. We only take off the protective covers when everything is totally finished.
Your Peace of Mind
We have full insurance to cover any unlikely accidents. Your Swansea living room gets a complete makeover without messing up your daily routine or putting your belongings at risk.

Call01792949708today for an accurate price—no surprises, no hidden fees.
How long does it take to paint a living room?
Most Swansea living rooms take 2-3 days to paint properly, including prep work and drying time between coats.
Larger rooms or those with high ceilings might stretch to 3-4 days.
Your living room will be back to normal by the weekend.
When can I use my living room after it's been painted?
You can move furniture back and use the room lightly after 24 hours.
Give it 2-3 days before returning to complete normal use—pushing furniture against walls, hanging pictures, etc.
Keep windows open during this time to speed curing and clear any paint smell.
Will I need to move all my furniture before you start painting?
Not necessarily. Please remove small items, ornaments, and pictures before we arrive.
Large furniture like sofas and TV stands can stay—we'll move them to the room's centre and protect everything with heavy-duty dust sheets.
If you can move big pieces to another room, that's ideal but not essential. We work around what stays.

How do you deal with the paint smell? How long until it goes away?
Modern water-based paints have minimal smell. With proper ventilation, any odour disappears within 24-48 hours.
We use low-VOC paints that contain far fewer harsh chemicals than older paints.
During painting, we keep windows open for airflow.
After we finish, continue opening windows for a few hours daily—the smell is barely noticeable after the first day and completely gone within two.
What paint finish should I use for my living room walls?
Matt emulsion is best for living room walls. It gives a smooth, non-reflective finish that hides minor wall imperfections—perfect for Swansea's older homes where walls aren't perfectly flat.
For woodwork (skirting boards, door frames, window sills), we recommend satin finish. It's more durable and wipeable than matt.
We'll discuss the right finish for your specific room during your free quote.
Can I stay in my home while you paint my living room?
Yes—most families stay at home while we work. You can use other rooms normally. We contain dust and mess to just the living room using protective sheeting.
We'll need windows open for ventilation, which means slight paint smell might drift to other rooms, but with modern paints it's minimal. If you have pets, keep them out of the living room while we work.
