About Painter & Decorator
Colour Matching and Small Batch Tinting
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.
How Long a Typical Room Takes
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.
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.
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.
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.
How to Keep Dust and Damage Down
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.
What a Painter and Decorator Usually Handles
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.
Lead Paint and Old Finishes in Older Homes
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.
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.
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.
