What a painter does
Painters protect floors, fill and sand surfaces, apply primer and undercoat, then finish with topcoats. A cheaper quote often means less preparation.
Jobs people often ask painters to do:
- Painting walls and ceilings
- Painting the outside of a house
- Wallpapering
- Filling and sanding before painting
- Staining decking and fences
Before you book a painter
- Ask how many coats are included, and whether the paint is part of the price or you buy it.
- New plaster needs a thinned first coat (a mist coat) so the paint does not peel. Ask if the painter does this.
- Agree the colour on a sample patch in your own light before the whole room is done.
- Ask how furniture will be moved and covered, and who puts it back.
