What Painting & Decorating Work I Cover

Good decorating is not just about putting paint on the wall. The preparation matters — filling, sanding, stain blocking, protecting floors and furniture, and using the right paint for the surface.

I cover practical painting and decorating work for private homes, rental properties, flats, rooms, hallways, bathrooms, kitchens and end-of-tenancy refreshes. Whether it is a small touch-up or a larger repaint, the work is carried out carefully and cleanly.

Proper Preparation Before Painting

A clean finish depends on good preparation. Before painting, I check the condition of the walls, ceilings and woodwork, then prepare the surface properly. I use professional sanders with dust extraction, so there's minimal dust.

Preparation can include:

• Filling holes and cracks

• Sanding rough or uneven areas

• Scraping loose or flaking paint

• Stain blocking water marks or dark stains

• Sealing porous or problem surfaces

• Cleaning dusty or greasy areas before painting

• Protecting floors, furniture and fixtures

• Using suitable primers where required

Interior Painting Services

I focus mainly on interior painting and decorating work. This includes small decorating jobs, room refreshes, rental property touch-ups and full flat or room repainting where the scope is clear.

For larger decorating jobs, I can provide a fixed price after seeing photos or visiting the property.

Interior painting work includes:

• Bedrooms • Living rooms • Hallways • Kitchens • Bathrooms • Ceilings • Walls • Doors • Skirting boards • Architraves

Stain Blocking & Anti-Mould Paint

Some areas need more than standard emulsion. Water stains, mould marks, nicotine staining, damp-looking patches and old discolouration often need stain blocking before repainting.

For bathrooms, kitchens and other condensation-prone areas, anti-mould paint can be used where suitable. This can help improve the finish and reduce future staining, but long-term results still depend on ventilation, heating and moisture control.

Useful for:

• Water stains • Mould staining • Bathroom ceilings • Kitchen walls and ceilings • Around windows • Previously stained areas • End-of-tenancy refreshes • Problem patches before repainting

For black mould treatment before painting, see my mould treatment service.

End-of-Tenancy Decorating & Property Refreshes

I work with landlords and letting agents who need rental properties cleaned up and made presentable between tenants.

This can include patch repairs, filling holes, repainting marked walls, stain blocking, bathroom or kitchen touch-ups, woodwork painting and small repairs alongside the decorating work. The aim is to get the property looking clean, fresh and ready for viewing or move-in without unnecessary delays.

Useful for:

• Void property refreshes • End-of-tenancy touch-ups • Pre-viewing preparation • Marked walls and ceilings • Patch repairs after tenants move out • Bathroom and kitchen repainting • Small repairs before decorating • Rental property maintenance

For wider rental property repairs, see my landlord maintenance services.

Pricing for Painting & Decorating

Small decorating work starts from £180, subject to the scope, preparation required, access and condition of the existing surfaces.

Larger painting and decorating work is usually quoted as a fixed price after photos or a visit. Price depends on room size, surface condition, preparation required, number of coats, paint type and whether materials are included.
