Wall Painting Services
Wall-painting enquiries can cover internal rooms or exterior elevations. Each space has different requirements for finish, durability, and preparation.
Interior Walls
Interior wall painting can cover different room types: living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, and home offices. Each room has different surface character and different finish demands.
Interior wall finishes are chosen from the substrate, existing coating, room use, cleaning needs and desired sheen. Related services: interior painting.
Exterior Walls
Exterior walls are identified by substrate, coating condition, defects, moisture behaviour and access before a system is proposed.
Exterior exposure and moisture behaviour vary by elevation and wall build-up. Exterior systems are selected for the identified wall and moisture behaviour. Failed render or coatings are assessed for repair or removal before repainting. See our masonry painting page for more detail on exterior wall treatments.
Product and preparation are recorded for each inspected wall type rather than assumed from the service name.
Feature and Newly Plastered Walls
Feature walls and freshly plastered surfaces each need preparation and product choices based on the assessed surface and requested finish.
Feature Walls
A single wall in a contrasting or richer colour can change the room’s appearance as a standalone scope. Chimney breasts, alcoves, and bedroom walls are all natural candidates. See our feature wall painting page for more detail.
Feature-wall colour and coating are chosen from the substrate, starting colour, desired finish and selected product guidance. A compatible tinted base may be considered where recommended.
New Plaster and Freshly Plastered Walls
New plaster must be sufficiently dry and coated with a system approved for that surface. Bare board, jointed plasterboard and fresh plaster are not treated as interchangeable.
New extensions and loft conversions may contain bare board, joint compound or fresh plaster, which require different specifications. Your decorator advises on correct drying time at the site visit. For full detail on new plaster preparation, see our plasterboard painting page.
Your decorator also paints home offices. See our home office painting page for detail on finishes suited to working environments.
Wall preparation and coating choice depend on the assessed surface and existing finish.
