What to include in a painter and decorator 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.

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?
