Interior Painting

Walls, ceilings, trim and feature rooms. We sugar-soap, sand and fill before a brush touches the wall — because the finish you’ll live with for ten years is decided in the prep, not the paint.

How we quote it

The same 7 lines — every time.

Whatever the surface, your quote splits the work the same honest way, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

The 7-line quote

1 Wash + clean. Sugar-soap removes oils and residue — without it, paint lifts.
2 Sanding + filling. Nail holes, cracks, surface roughness. Finish quality lives here.
3 Masking + drop sheets. Floors, fixtures, edges. Skip it and you pay in cleanup.
4 Primer (surface-specific). New plaster, old enamel and steel each need a different primer.
5 Number of coats. Two is standard. One means you’ll see the old colour through it.
6 Paint brand + product. Named on the quote — Dulux Wash & Wear, not “trade white”.
7 Cut-in + edges. Ceilings, skirting, architraves — visible for the next 10 years.

If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it — and you don’t know what’s been cut.

Questions, answered

Interior Painting — common questions.

How long does a 3-bedroom interior take? +

Typically 5–10 working days for a full interior, depending on prep depth, ceiling height and how many colours change. We give you a realistic window on the quote, not an optimistic one.

Do I have to move out? +

No. We work room-by-room, mask and drop-sheet each space, and clean down at the end of every day. We’ll agree an order that keeps your kitchen and a bathroom usable throughout.

How many coats will my walls get? +

Two is standard over a sound, similar colour. Dark-to-light changes, problem walls and strong colours get three, sometimes over a tinted primer. We tell you which on the quote — never one coat over a different colour.

Do you paint ceilings and trim, or just walls? +

Whatever you want quoted. Ceilings, skirting, architraves and doors are each their own line so you can see the cost and decide — a wall-only refresh and a full walls-ceilings-trim repaint are different jobs, and we price both honestly.

Can you fix cracks, holes and water stains before painting? +

Yes — that’s the prep. We fill nail holes and cracks, level rough patches, and seal water stains with a stain-block primer so they don’t ghost back through the topcoat. If a stain points to an active leak, we’ll flag it before we paint over it.

What do you use in bathrooms, kitchens and laundries? +

Wet and north-facing rooms get a mould-resistant system — the right primer and a washable topcoat rated for moisture — because standard wall paint in a steamy bathroom is where mould comes back fastest. It’s a small upgrade we’ll name on the quote, not a hidden one.
