Repair of the general corridor with the neighbors is done several times less, the non-residential repair in the corridor of each apartment. Of course, it is not always easy to negotiate with neighbors about cleaning things, buying materials that will be used for repairs and their colors, because each person has an individual vision of an ideal corridor. In addition, you need to find all the necessary tools for repair work.
Repair materials
Overhauling is expensive enough, therefore, the cosmetic repair will be enough to carry out repair in the general corridor .When carrying out repairs, one should always consult with their neighbors so that there is no disagreement and do not have to pay an amount that exceeds half the cost( if the total corridor is designed for 2 apartments).To begin with, you need to carefully plan the repair work and only then purchase all the necessary materials in the right quantities.
In the building supermarket you need to buy mounting foam, linoleum, plinth, perforated corner, paint for walls, colors for it, impact drill, putty, dowels and screws, electric mixer for making mixtures and mortars, screwdriver, etc. Of course,all this is not necessary to buy, if you have such items on the premises.
Repair work
To begin with, it is necessary to remove all paint that has peeled off the walls and ceiling from the walls and ceiling, and also remove the plaster that has been showered. You should carefully cement, plaster and zashpatlevat sections of the ceiling and walls that are in poor condition. It is necessary to give at least one day to dry everything.
Old lamps should be replaced with modern fluorescent lights. If there is an old electricity meter in the corridor that does not work, then it should be removed, but not by yourself, but with the help of electricians from the housing office. The doors to the apartments can be changed independently, because each family can have different financial opportunities. The floor should also be washed and allowed to dry completely.
For painting walls, it is best to use acrylic paint, because it does not stain clothes, and it is easy and quick to apply to the surface. The paint should be applied in two layers. If the wooden floor has slots, then they need to be poured with mounting foam, and then after drying, cut off unnecessary parts of them. Next is just to lay the linoleum and fix the plinth.
