Water-based paints usually need 2 to 4 hours before recoating. Oil-based products often need 24 hours. Humidity, airflow, and room temperature change these windows. Rushing the second coat causes peeling, flashing, and visible lap marks. Confirm the waiting time on the product label, not just on verbal advice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A painter and decorator prepares surfaces and applies paint, wallpaper, and protective finishes inside a home.
