Painters refresh rooms and protect the outside of a home. Good work depends on filling, sanding and priming before the first coat.

What a painter does
On outdoor work, painters check the weather, wash and treat surfaces, and use paint made for exterior use.
Jobs people often ask painters to do:
- Painting walls and ceilings
- Wallpapering
- Filling and sanding before painting
- Staining decking and fences
- Painting kitchen units
Before you book a painter
- Ask what preparation is planned. Filling, sanding and priming usually take longer than painting itself.
- New plaster needs a thinned first coat (a mist coat) so the paint does not peel. Ask if the painter does this.
- Ask how furniture will be moved and covered, and who puts it back.
- If woodwork has rot, the painter should say so rather than paint over it. Fixing it first saves repainting.
