Project Overview

Decoration Touch was appointed to carry out a complete strip-off and full internal redecoration of an apartment in Acton, London. The property required a rigorous transformation, converting a very old and soiled interior into a clean, modern, and fully refreshed living space with a high-end finish throughout. This had extensive preparation works, restoration of surfaces, careful decorative detailing, and new painting across all internal areas. From corridors and bedrooms to ceilings, walls, and fitted details, the apartment underwent a full decorative overhaul, resulting in a sharp, elegant, and highly functional finished environment.

Scope of Works

Complete Strip-Off & Surface Preparation

The project began with a full strip-off of the apartment’s internal decorative finishes to create the right foundation for a complete redecoration. Preparation works included:
Removal of existing worn or damaged decorative finishes.
Stripping back areas requiring renewal and correction.
Preparation of walls and ceilings throughout the apartment.
Filling, patch repairing, sanding, and smoothing uneven or damaged surfaces.
Preparation of corners, edges, reveals, and junctions to ensure clean finishing lines.
Readying all surfaces for primer, mist coats, and final paint application.
This stage was essential in transforming the apartment from a construction-like, unfinished state into a space ready for premium decorative work.

Full Internal Painting & Redecoration

Once preparation works were complete, Decoration Touch carried out the full painting and finishing package across the apartment. Works included:
Painting of all walls and ceilings throughout the property.
Redecoration of hallways, bedrooms, circulation spaces, and main living areas.
Finishing of internal architectural details and visible surface elements.
Careful application of clean, modern colour tones to enhance brightness and spatial feel.
Precise cutting-in around lighting details, ceiling features, and fitted installations.
Smooth, even finishing to newly prepared surfaces for a consistent appearance throughout.
The finished scheme was designed to create a crisp, contemporary interior with a refined and welcoming atmosphere.

Detail Finishing & Final Presentation

As part of the final stages, particular attention was given to decorative detailing and presentation to ensure the apartment was completed to a high standard. This included:
Finishing around integrated lighting channels, ceiling recesses, and shadow gaps.
Careful treatment around fitted units, air conditioning, wall-mounted fixtures, and trims.
Final touch-ups and snagging to ensure a flawless decorative result.
Surface checks under both natural and artificial lighting to maintain quality consistency.
These finishing details played a major role in elevating the apartment from a basic refurbishment to a polished, modern residential interior.

Challenges & Solutions

Complete Strip Off: Apartment was heavily used, tired and soiled. Surfaces showed signs of patchwork, exposed areas, uneven finishes, and incomplete preparation.
Solution: Every surface was correctly treated before decoration began. Through detailed filling, smoothing, and making good, the team created a strong base.
Compact Space: Apartments often include tighter spaces, narrower corridors, and multiple fitted elements that require careful handling and precise decorative work..
Solution: The team worked through each area, paying particular attention to edges, corners, junctions, and built-in features. This ensured a clean and uniform finish even in more compact or technically detailed parts of the apartment.

Outcome

The completed project delivered a complete transformation of the apartment in Acton, turning an old, misused, tired property into a beautifully redecorated modern home. The final result featured clean white walls, sharp detailing, smooth ceilings, and a fresh contemporary finish throughout. Corridors were brightened and refined, bedrooms were made more inviting and elegant, and the apartment as a whole was given a far more polished and premium appearance.

By combining thorough preparation with careful finishing, Decoration Touch delivered a redecoration project that significantly improved both the visual quality and overall feel of the property.

Result

A fully transformed apartment in Acton, London, completed through full strip-off, preparation, and internal redecoration, resulting in a fresh, modern, and high-quality residential finish by Decoration Touch.
