About Painter & Decorator
Written Guarantees and What They Cover
Ask for a written statement covering peeling, flaking, and poor adhesion for at least 12 months. Most professional decorators offer this as part of the contract. The guarantee should exclude damage from leaks, impact, or humidity changes you cause after handover. Keep the invoice and product batch codes filed together.
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.
Ventilation and Reoccupying the Room
Water-based paints usually smell clear within 24 hours with open windows. Oil-based finishes may keep a strong odour for 3 to 7 days. Avoid sleeping in freshly painted rooms for at least 24 hours. Keep airflow steady during drying to stop dust sticking to wet surfaces and ruining the finish.
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.
Floor and Furniture Protection During Work
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.
Exterior Painting and Weather Windows
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.
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.
Wallpaper Hanging versus Painting
Wallpaper hides uneven walls better than paint but costs more per square metre and is harder to remove later. Paste the wall products are faster and need less soaking time. Ask the decorator to prime bare plaster before hanging, and confirm whether lining paper is needed for very textured walls.
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.
Common Problems and Early Warning Signs
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.
