Painting and decorating

Plan paint, wallpaper and joinery finishes as one scheme, with the order of work agreed before rooms are cleared.

Preparation before the finish

Start by separating decorative work from repairs and other trades. New plaster, replacement joinery and electrical alterations can all affect when a surface is ready. A room schedule helps identify what is included and what needs to happen first.

Choosing the specification

Consider how colours meet at doors and adjoining rooms, how the finish responds to daylight and where a more cleanable surface is needed. Sample boards are useful when several materials are being considered together.

Define the work in your quotation

The quotation should identify the surfaces, preparation, products, access and exclusions. Share photographs and the property address so that we can discuss the condition and arrange the next step.

  • A room-by-room schedule
  • Wallcoverings and painted surfaces
  • Materials supplied by each party
  • Sequence around other work
