Painting and decorating can make a huge difference to the look and feel of a property. Whether you are updating a single room or redecorating your entire home, a professional painter and decorator will ensure a high-quality, long-lasting finish. Here is a guide to the services offered by painters and decorators, the approximate cost of these jobs, and how long they may take.

Services offered:

Specialist painting (e.g. murals, trompe l’oeil)

Coving and cornice installation
Plastering and skimming

Approximate cost:
The cost of hiring a painter and decorator will depend on the size of the project, the type of paint used, and the complexity of the work. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from £300 to £700 per room for interior painting, with the average cost of painting a three-bed house in the UK being around £3,000 to £6,000. Exterior painting can cost anywhere from £1,000 to £3,000, depending on the size of your property and the amount of preparation work required.

How long it may take:
The length of time it takes to complete a painting and decorating project will depend on the size and complexity of the job. A typical room might take anywhere from 2-5 days to paint, while a full house could take up to two weeks or more. It’s always best to discuss your timeline with your chosen painter and decorator so that they can provide a more accurate estimate.

Jobs that may require input from other trades:

Wood sanding and staining
If your painting and decorating project involves repairing or preparing walls, then you may need to hire a plasterer to carry out the work. Similarly, if you are installing coving or cornice, then you may need to hire a specialist to ensure that the work is carried out correctly. For wood sanding and staining, you may need to hire a carpenter to repair or replace damaged wooden features.
