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.
