About Painter & Decorator
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common Problems and Early Warning Signs
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.
Questions to Ask Before Agreeing to the Work
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.
When a Single Contractor Handles Both Tasks
A painter and decorator often does wallpapering, woodwork finishing, and painting in one visit. Ask if the same person handles filler repair, caulking, and trim repainting. Combining tasks reduces setup time and usually lowers the labour total, but only when one professional carries full responsibility for all finishes in each room.
Drying Times Between Coats
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.
Woodwork, Doors, and Trim Finishes
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.
Ventilation and Reoccupying the Room
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.
