The Modernize team provided a totally professional outcome to the painting of our internal rooms. Care and attention to detail are the hallmark of their preparation of all surfaces and the application of the required number of coatings to achieve a superior finish. Most approachable to discuss client wishes and a pleasure to interact with. Prompt in meeting agreed work schedules and always leaving with all materials cleared carefully away. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. We had our kitchen, bathroom and laundry repainted and the transformation is remarkable. The team was meticulous with masking and preparation, you can see the care in the final result. They even helped us choose the perfect Dulux colours for each room. Genuinely lovely people to have in your home.

Used Modernize to paint the exterior of our brick home including fascias, gutters, window frames and the front fence. The prep work was extensive with proper washing, sanding and priming before any topcoats. The crew were friendly, always cleaned up at the end of each day, and the finished result is exactly what we wanted. Great value for money.

Frequently Asked Questions

What paint do you use for skirting board painting?
We use Dulux premium enamel in a semi-gloss finish for skirting board painting. It provides a smooth, hard-wearing surface that is easy to clean and resists scuffs, marks and yellowing over time.
Do skirting boards need to be painted separately from walls?
Skirting board painting uses a different paint type and finish than walls. We typically paint skirtings with a semi-gloss enamel while walls are painted in a low-sheen or matt finish. We cut in a sharp line where they meet.
How do you get a smooth finish on skirting boards?
We sand the existing surface, fill any dents or nail holes, apply a bonding primer and then carefully apply enamel with quality brushes. The key is thorough preparation and the right technique.
Can you paint skirting boards without removing them?
Yes — we paint skirting boards in place as standard. We mask the floor and wall edges carefully and cut in sharp lines. Removing skirtings is rarely necessary unless they are being replaced.
