Interior painting can be an extremely inexpensive means to revitalise the interior of your house. Painting is sometimes carried out as a DIY job, but qualified painters and decorators can make sure the optimal appearance and ensure that your redecorating will look its best for as long as possible.
You will commonly devote more time to preparing to paint than actually painting. It is vital to wash and prepare all walls and ceilings prior to painting, together with to mask off any regions that shouldn't be painted over like skirting, architrave, plug sockets and light switches. Cover up furnishings and any carpets or flooring in the area with dust sheets to catch any stains. If you are painting internally, apply a primer coat as a base layer then several layers of paint, giving each coat time to dry in between.
Interior painters and decorators can give you plenty of recommendations about paint and help you select the ideal colour scheme for your internal spaces.
The average cost of a Painting and decorating is £800. Costs vary based upon the materials and the contractor chosen. The upper price range can be as high as £920. The material costs are mainly around £200

Your painter and decorator will carry out most of the preparation work for your project. You can help them by ensuring that the area is clean and tidy. Also, remove as many personal items and pieces of furniture from the area as possible and make sure all your internal doors are firmly closed just in case of dust from rubbing down.
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.
How Much Do Painters And Decorators Charge?
If you’re thinking about painting your home or property, then one of the first things that crosses the mind is the amount charged by painter or decorators to carry out the project. However just like any other home improvement projects and as with most tradesmen, the amount charged by a painter and decorator largely varies from job to job depending on a plethora of factors. These factors include your location, the urgency at which you need the job done and whether or not a specialist equipment would be required.
For painters and decorators, one of the biggest influencing factors that determines the price to be charged is the size of the room. For instance, if you have a large room to be painted, it’s definitely going to cost you more than a smaller room. And same applies to multiple rooms when compared to single room. In other words, to get a more accurate cost estimate from your tradesman, you’ll need to have a good idea of the size of your room or rooms. So let’s take a closer look!
✓ Painting a mid-sized room. The question here is, how do you know if your room is medium sized? The room will have a size of about 3.5m by 5m or a room that can conveniently allow up to 6 to 8 people. The price range is between £240 to £410.
✓ Wallpapering a mid-sized room. This uses the logic as painting a mid-sized room but the price can differ due to difference in materials used. The price range here is between £204 to £420.
✓ Painting a large ceiling. Painting a ceiling is very similar to painting a wall but its not as straightforward and will consume more time. The price ranges from £286 to £5476.
There are lots of paints that are suitable for different areas of your property. In general, gloss and eggshell paints should be used in high traffic areas, whereas matte paints are suitable for lower traffic areas. Professional painters and decorators can give you advice on the most suitable types of paints.
