For older Westbury walls expect a stabilising primer, hairline crack repair with flexible filler, and a lining paper grade matched to substrate condition. Site setup includes lay-flat dust sheets, hard floor protection, plug socket masking, ceiling tape lines, and corner guards on traffic routes.
Living Room — Key Considerations
Largest room often means most wall area — cost and time considerations
Feature walls, chimney breasts, and alcoves create decorating opportunities
Fireplace surrounds and mantels need heat-resistant finishes
TV wall areas benefit from darker, non-reflective colours
Open plan living/dining needs cohesive colour flow between zones
Period features — cornicing, picture rails, panelling — need respect
Older Wiltshire stone cottages in Westbury sometimes have uneven plaster in the living room, which needs skim-coating before painting for a smooth finish.
