Dulux trade v Dulux retail paint.

I ended up breaking two of those extending roller things when I painted my ceiling, with paint going everywhere. I'm a complete amateur so probably wasn't doing it correctly, but I ended up getting the painting pads and a stepladder - this turned out to be much easier and didn't get a drop of paint on the walls.

It will need more covering if you get white on the walls, just take your time and use a small brush round the edges first before you roller. A single none extending pole will do unless you have high ceilings. Please don't paint over ceiling rose or lightswitches, just loosen them or remove them first.

Do you mean light pendant rather than ceiling rose?

I find it a lot easier to use a hop-up when painting a ceiling and it is useful for a lot of things where a stepladder is unwieldy.

That looks much easier!
