I wonder if anyone can help hubby started to paint living room ceiling whilst I was in hospital still only quarter done because of the oxygen the whole room needs painting and he has asked me to ask. If any one can recommend a good paint to use with me being on oxygen quick drying if possible and how long I should stay upstairs whilst it being done and drying thanks xx

Hi T2D, we have had silk emulsion on the walls and it is low odour and dried really quickly. The ceiling is matt white and low odour too. Hope that helps. We used Dulux but others are available. Xxxx

Hello Time_to_drink

Johnstones paints are low odour or near enough odour free. I use their water based gloss on doors and skirtings for any other paint is strictly no no. You can get them on Amazon too.

They have a good site too where you can ask questions.

Hope you find it suitable.

We wait now for the warmer weather to do decorating, that way we can have all the windows open to help it dry quicker and stop odours getting trapped in the house. Good to hear about the Johnson's low odour paints though :) x

Paints are water based now. When I painted this place I don't recall any fumes or smell. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't have a compressor on. Gas hobs and boilers are fine. For ceilings I bought a roller with a telescopic extension handle, brilliant thing, no going up and down steps, makes it twice as fast.

It dries vary quickly, minutes. Make sure you use water based for the woodwork.

If you need a paint with no odour at all try Lakeland eco paints. They do all types in a wide range of colours.

I buy them on line. They arrive the next day beautifully packed. Bit expensive but with very severe Copd I don't use anything else.
