About Painter & Decorator
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Colour Matching and Small Batch Tinting
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.
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.
