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.
Homes built before the late 1970s may contain lead-based paint under existing layers. Contractors should test surfaces before sanding or stripping. Safe containment includes sealed plastic sheeting, HEPA vacuums, and proper disposal bags. If your decorator refuses to test old layers, look for another professional who follows current safety rules.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
