About Painter & Decorator
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.
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.
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.
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.
Masking, Taping, and Edge Lines
Sharp edges depend on clean tape application and removal at the right moment. Tape usually comes off while paint is slightly tacky, around 30 to 60 minutes after application. Leaving tape on overnight often pulls dried paint off the line. Good decorators use low-tack tape on fresh finishes and press edges firmly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
