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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
