Examples to help you write your own post — not past jobs or promises of availability.
Access and logistics to mention
- For a new build, is it past any builder's settling or snagging period?
- How many windows and doors are there outside, and are any on the upper floor?
- Are you supplying colours by name or code?

Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- New-build walls may show settlement cracks; agree whether filling is included.
- Upper-floor exterior work may need scaffold or a tower; ask how it's priced.
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.
