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.
Watch for paint applied over damp walls, which will bubble within weeks. Edges taped with masking tape can lift off cured paint if pulled at the wrong angle. Roller marks, also called flashing, appear when coats dry too fast or are spread too thin. Point these out before final payment.
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.
A painter and decorator prepares surfaces and applies paint, wallpaper, and protective finishes inside a home. Typical work includes filling cracks, sanding walls, priming bare plaster, cutting in edges, and rolling 2 coats on ceilings and walls. Ask whether the quote covers small repairs or only the painting itself.
Professionals should cover floors using breathable fleece or hardboard sheets, not thin plastic that tears. Furniture is moved to the room centre and wrapped. Built-in units, radiators, and fitted wardrobes need separate covering. Confirm who moves heavy items and whether removal of curtains, blinds, and wall decor is included.
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.
Touch-up paint rarely matches a can from a different batch. Keep at least 0.5 litres of the original tinted product, labelled with the formula code and room name. For larger repairs, buy all paint at once so the tinting machine produces one consistent batch across every wall, ceiling, and trim coat.
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.
Outside work needs dry conditions above 10 degrees Celsius and no rain forecast for 24 hours after application. Masonry paint should be breathable on older walls. Expect surface prep on render or peeling timber to take longer than the painting itself, and plan for access equipment costs separately.
Price varies with surface condition, height of the work, number of colours, and access. Lining paper, patch repairs, or wallpaper removal add labour hours. Scaffolding or tower use above ground floor raises the cost. A room in poor condition can cost 30 to 50 percent more than one in good condition.
