Interior painting can be a really reasonably priced technique to reinvigorate the inside of your property. Painting is sometimes carried out as a DIY job, but professional painters and decorators can make sure of an immaculate finish and ensure that your redecorating will look its best for as long as possible.
You may devote more time to getting ready to paint than actually painting. It is critical to wash and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings prior to painting, together with to mask off any areas that shouldn't be painted over such as skirting, architrave, power sockets and light switches. Cover up furnishings and carpets or flooring in the room with dust sheets to collect any splashes. When painting inside, apply a primer coat as a base layer followed by several layers of paint, allowing each coat time to dry in between.
Interior painters and decorators can give you lots of advice about paint and help you pick the most suitable colour palette for your interior spaces.

Yes, painters and decorators can repair stained, damp or mouldy walls. Usually, this process will involve stripping away the damaged paint and treating the area with specialist paint. After this is done, the damaged sections can be repainted to match the room.
You should always wait until plaster is dry before painting. The time this will take varies depending on the room and property, but in general, it will take about a week. Your plasterer will tell you how long it is best to leave it before covering or painting their work.
Interior painters and decorators will offer a wide range of services. These range from painting and wallpapering to other decorating jobs such as fitting skirting or architrave. Some painters and decorators will be trained to plaster as well, however, you should always ask them about this and not assume they will all be able to.
How Much For A Painter To Paint A Room?
If you’re looking to have your room painted, it’s only normal to get an idea of how much it’s going to cost so you can set a budget and start planning. As you would have expected, the cost of having a room painted is dependent on a wide array of influencing factors such as the size of your room, the type of paint to be used, your location and many more. As a result, providing a single and accurate answer to this question is almost impossible.
Generally, a regular 4 metres by 3 metres room will take just a couple of days to be fully painted including both the coving and woodwork. Outside London, most painters and decorators would charge within the range of £150 to £200 per day meaning that you’ll have a total labour cost within the range of £300 to £400. What’s more? You’d also have to consider the price of the paint to be used which is usually around £50. If you add all the costs together you’ll get an average cost of about £400 to £500.
Unfortunately, paint does not last an eternity. Therefore, there’ll come a time where you’d have to consider painting your room all over again. It may seem unwise to employ the services of a professional painter and decorator especially if you’re on a budget. However, in truth, calling in a professional can go a long way to save you time, stress and money. In other words, even if you’re worried about the cost, a professional painter is still your best bet in the long run as they know exactly what to do to ensure you derive maximum benefits from your painting project.
