Premium trade paints (Mylands, F&B, Tikkurila where it makes sense) — not contractor white. Wood-finish projects round here usually want a knot-seal, oil-based undercoat for adhesion, then water-based topcoats for low-yellowing and faster recoat. For older Kintbury walls expect a stabilising primer, hairline crack repair with flexible filler, and a lining paper grade matched to substrate condition.
