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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Outside work needs dry conditions above 10 degrees Celsius and no rain forecast for 24 hours after application. Masonry paint should be breathable on older walls. Expect surface prep on render or peeling timber to take longer than the painting itself, and plan for access equipment costs separately.
A clear quote lists preparation, number of coats, brand and type of paint, areas included, and areas excluded. Watch for vague lines such as paint as required. Ask for square metres per room and confirm whether ceilings, skirting boards, door frames, and radiators are part of the same job or charged separately.
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.
