Interior and exterior painting in Aalst, prepared before it is painted
Walls, ceilings, staircases and woodwork inside, render and joinery outside — cracks filled, surfaces sanded and primed before any topcoat is applied to the surface.
A good paint job in Aalst is decided before the roller touches the wall: filling cracks and holes, sanding old gloss, masking skirting and fittings, and choosing the right primer. Alpha Services prepares and paints interior walls, ceilings, staircases and woodwork, plus exterior render, cladding and joinery, matching the finish to the room or facade. Furniture and floors stay covered for the whole job, not just the first coat.
Surface preparation
Filling cracks, holes and joints, sanding old paintwork, washing down greasy or dusty surfaces, and treating damp or mould stains before any primer or paint is applied.
Interior wall and ceiling painting
Two-coat systems on walls and ceilings in the finish you choose, with cutting-in around skirting, coving and light fittings done by hand for a clean, straight edge.
Staircases and woodwork
Doors, skirting, architraves, banisters and staircases sanded, primed and painted or varnished, with attention to areas that see daily wear such as handrails and door edges.
Exterior render and cladding
Breathable masonry paint applied to render and pebbledash after cleaning and repairing hairline cracks, so the wall keeps shedding moisture rather than trapping it under the coating.
Exterior joinery and metalwork
Window frames, fascias, gutters and railings rubbed down, treated for rust or rot where needed, and finished with a coating suited to being outdoors in a Belgian climate.
Masking and site protection
Floors, furniture, sockets and fittings covered and taped off before work starts, with dust sheets moved as the job progresses so the rest of the home stays usable.

Our work in Aalst
Painting jobs in Aalst range from a fresh coat on one wall to a complete redecoration project. Render and pebbledash on exterior walls need a breathable masonry paint that lets the wall shed moisture rather than sealing it in. Alpha Services covers Affligem, Denderleeuw and Dendermonde for the same painting and decorating work. Cracks, holes and damp staining are treated before priming, so the paint is not asked to hide a problem underneath it.

Do you paint just one room, or only full houses in Aalst?
Both. We take on single-room repaints in Aalst as often as full interior or exterior jobs. A single room still gets the same preparation — filling, sanding, masking — because a short job with poor prep looks worse sooner than a longer one done properly. Tell us the scope when you call and we will scope the visit accordingly.
Can you paint over damp or mouldy walls?
Not directly. Painting over an active damp patch traps moisture and the paint fails again within months. We identify whether the damp is condensation, a leak, or rising damp, treat the cause where that falls within a painting job, and apply a stain-blocking primer before the topcoat. Where the damp needs plumbing or structural repair first, we say so before quoting the paintwork.
What paint do you use on exterior render in Aalst?
We use breathable, vapour-permeable masonry paint on render and pebbledash, which lets moisture escape from the wall rather than sealing it in — an important distinction on older Belgian brick and block construction. Colour and sheen are agreed with you before ordering, and we always test a sample patch on the actual wall first.
Do you also work in the area around Aalst?
Yes. Alpha Services Benelux carries out painting projects in Aalst and the surrounding towns. Share your postcode when you call 0485 44 55 12 so we can confirm travel and give you a realistic slot for the site visit.
How long will paint fumes and drying take before I can use a room again?
Most water-based interior paints are dry to the touch within a few hours and safe to move furniture back once fully cured, though we recommend airing the room during and after painting. Oil-based woodwork paint and exterior masonry paint take longer to cure fully, and we tell you the specific drying window for the products used on your job.
