Lemington sits on the north bank of the Tyne between Newburn and Denton, on the slopes running down to the river. Its most famous landmark is the Lemington Glass Works cone, a tall brick structure that survives from the area's glassmaking past and is now a listed building. Around it, the housing reflects a working riverside community: brick terraces, inter-war and post-war semis, council-built homes and later private houses, with newer developments added along the edges in recent decades.
Older terraces and semis in Lemington often have ceilings with fine cracking, walls patched over the years and doors and skirting boards carrying many coats of gloss. Careful filling, sanding and spot priming go a long way here, and lining paper can help on rougher walls. Many homes have been extended or knocked through, so old and new plaster may sit side by side and need the right primer to look even. Our wall painting service handles this preparation as part of every job.
The riverside setting brings damp air, and homes lower down the bank can get mist and less sun in winter. Bathrooms and kitchens benefit from moisture-resistant paints, and any signs of damp on outside walls are worth checking before redecorating. Outside, fascias, timber doors and rendered walls take a steady battering from wind coming along the valley, so we plan exterior painting for the drier months and prepare surfaces thoroughly.
Because we are so close, it is easy for us to keep an eye on the weather and choose good days for outdoor work, and to fit in smaller jobs that might not be worthwhile for a decorator travelling further.
Absolutely. Single rooms, hallways and ceilings are some of the most common jobs we quote for, and being based so close by means small jobs are very practical for us. A fresh bedroom or living room can make a big difference, and we bring the same careful preparation to one room as to a whole house.
Condensation is common in homes near the river, especially in bathrooms, kitchens and north-facing bedrooms. Better ventilation and steady heating help the most. Before painting, we clean and treat any mould, then use moisture-resistant or anti-mould paints in vulnerable rooms. That combination keeps the finish looking fresh for longer.
If the doors are solid and sound, repainting is often the better value option. We sand back built-up layers, fill dents and prime any bare wood before applying a hard-wearing satin or eggshell. Panelled doors in particular look very smart once the old drips and brush marks have been smoothed out.
Late spring to early autumn usually offers the most reliable dry spells. Masonry needs time to dry after rain before painting, and temperatures need to stay mild while the paint cures. Being local, we can keep an eye on forecasts and start when conditions are right.
Artex can be painted, and many people simply refresh it with a new coat of emulsion. If you would prefer a smooth, modern ceiling, having it skimmed by a plasterer is usually better than sanding. Older artex can contain asbestos, so it should be tested before any sanding or scraping takes place.
