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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
