Interior painting — Painter
Describe the rooms and surfaces to be painted, current condition and desired finish. A colour refresh on sound walls differs from work involving stained ceilings, new plaster or damaged trim, so photographs and preparation requirements matter alongside area.
Service scope
Interior painting prepares and coats agreed internal walls, ceilings or joinery with a suitable finishing system. Surface condition, preparation and the required finish are assessed separately from colour selection, with underlying damp or structural repairs outside routine decoration.
What is normally included
- Painting defined internal surfaces
- Agreed filling, sanding and priming
- Protection of adjacent finishes and furniture
What is not included
- Masking unresolved damp or structural defects
- Assuming one coat or one product suits all surfaces
Typical tasks
- Inspect the surfaces and existing coatings
- Protect adjacent areas and furnishings
- Complete agreed surface preparation
- Apply the specified coating system
- Inspect coverage and finish under the agreed conditions
What to include in your brief
- Room and surface dimensions
- Photos of defects and existing coatings
- Colour and finish preferences
- Occupied-room and furniture arrangements
- Doors, trim and ceilings to include
Choosing the right professional
Compare preparation and finish specifications, not simply the number of rooms. Ask who supplies paint, how stains or bare patches will be assessed and what standard is expected for trim, edges and final inspection.
Important considerations
- Poor adhesion can result from inadequate preparation
- Moisture-related staining may return if its cause is unresolved
