You will need to cut in all around the wall (or walls) that you are painting – every edge. You will also need to cut in along the corners where one wall meets another, even if you are going to paint both walls. This is because the roller will not get in there and give a complete covering of paint. It is important to cut in to every edge because this will give you a crisp and sharp line, which a roller will not be able to achieve. This is the case even if you have masked up the skirting boards and the switches. Cut in along every edge of the wall being painted

We would suggest a decorators brush, ideally with synthetic bristles.
