About Painter & Decorator
Questions to Ask Before Agreeing to the Work
Ask who supplies the paint, whether the decorator is insured for accidental damage, and if a 2 year workmanship guarantee is offered. Request references from jobs done in the last 6 months, and confirm the start date in writing, including the agreed daily start and finish time.
Ceiling Work, Coving, and High Areas
Ceilings are usually sprayed or rolled in 2 coats. Cutting in around light fittings, coving, and cornices adds time. A standard room of about 12 square metres takes 3 to 5 hours including setup, cutting, and rolling. Ask whether the quote includes light switch plates, smoke alarms, and ceiling roses.
Surface Preparation, the Step Most People Underestimate
Most paint failures come from poor preparation, not bad paint. New plaster needs 4 to 6 weeks to dry before priming. Old walls may need scraping, sanding, or a mist coat thinned with water. If preparation is missing from the quote, the finish will likely flake within 12 months of application.
How to Keep Dust and Damage Down
Ask the decorator to seal off rooms with plastic sheeting and to cover floors with cotton dust sheets, not thin plastic. Remove small items and valuables yourself before work starts. Picture rails, sockets, and radiators should be masked or carefully cut around, not painted over, for a clean finish.
Woodwork, Doors, and Trim Finishes
Doors, skirting boards, and window frames need light sanding, priming, and 2 top coats. Oil-based enamel lasts longer but yellows over time. Water-based acrylic dries faster and keeps colour stable. Removing and refitting hardware, such as handles and hinges, should be listed separately or confirmed as included.
Interior Paint Types and Where They Fit
emulsion is standard for walls and ceilings. Kitchen and bathroom walls need a moisture resistant finish. For woodwork, use acrylic eggshell or oil based satin, never emulsion. Ask the decorator which sheen they recommend for each surface and why, and check the data sheet for coverage per litre.
After the Job, How to Check the Work
Inspect the work in daylight, not artificial light. Look along walls at an angle to spot missed areas, drips, and uneven sheen. Test wallpaper seams by gently pressing with a finger. Keep a small touch up pot of each colour, labelled with room and date, for future nail hole repairs.
Stain Blocking for Water Marks and Smoke Damage
Brown patches from leaks or nicotine need a stain-blocking primer before top coat. Standard emulsion will not cover these marks. Shellac-based or alkyd primers seal the stain in 1 coat. Skipping this step means marks bleed through within weeks, forcing a full repaint of the affected wall section.
How Long a Typical Room Takes
A standard bedroom of about 12 sq m of wall area usually takes 1 to 2 days, including drying time between coats. A whole flat of 3 rooms takes around 4 to 6 working days. Add time for furniture moving, large windows, or detailed trim work, which slow the job significantly.
When a Single Contractor Handles Both Tasks
A painter and decorator often does wallpapering, woodwork finishing, and painting in one visit. Ask if the same person handles filler repair, caulking, and trim repainting. Combining tasks reduces setup time and usually lowers the labour total, but only when one professional carries full responsibility for all finishes in each room.
