Example painter and decorator job briefs
- Paint walls, ceiling and woodwork in a three-bed house's hallway, stairs and landing, including the spindles.
- Mist-coat and paint a newly plastered kitchen-diner in a colour you've chosen.
- Repaint exterior fascias and a front door on a two-storey house.
Examples to help you write your own post — not past jobs or promises of availability.
Access and logistics to mention
- Will tall stairwell walls need a ladder or platform, and is there room to set one up safely?
- Is the property on an estate with restricted parking near the front door?
- Are you supplying paint, or should the decorator include it in their price?

Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- Stair and landing jobs take longer than room sizes suggest; ask how long they expect it to take.
- New plaster needs a diluted mist coat first; check it's in the quote.
Comparing quotes
- How many coats are quoted, and is a mist coat on new plaster included?
- Is surface preparation (filling, sanding, caulking) itemised?
- For outside work, who arranges access equipment and what happens on rain days?
What to include in your job post
- Rooms or elevations, and whether it is walls, ceilings, woodwork, or all three.
- Who supplies paint, and the brand or colour if already chosen.
- The state of surfaces: filler needed, peeling paint, stains, previous wallpaper.
- Furniture that will stay in the room, and any height or access limits.
