Across Cardiff homes, we support your painting and decorating project with suitable businesses from the Painter & Decorator field.

Planning, costs and process
If you are planning painting and decorating, interior painting or an exterior refresh, the useful question is not just the headline quote. The right result depends on the existing property, measurements, materials, Building Regulations, grants, trade sequencing, lead times and a clear scope of work. This guide helps you brief Painters and decorators, dryliners and flooring fitters in Cardiff and compare quotes for Painting and decorating, interior painting and a well-run project.
Painting and decorating depends on surface condition, preparation, light, room use, existing paint, wallpaper, cracks, damp, stains and the finish you expect. The visible paint is only the last part of the job.
Good Painters and decorators ask whether walls need filling, sanding, stain blocking, lining paper, mist coat, woodwork, ceilings or exterior preparation. That is where many quote differences come from.
Process
From idea to result without detours. We cut through unclear quotes and frustrating waiting around. With beeBAAHM you get full transparency, digital organisation, and direct access to local tradespeople who truly know their craft.
FAQ
Short answers about planning, quotes and local businesses for painting and decorating in Cardiff.
Interior painting can be a simple refresh, full redecoration, plaster repair, feature wall, lining paper, woodwork, staircase, kitchen units or exterior painting. Preparation level changes cost and finish.
Quotes should include protection, filling, sanding, primer, number of coats, paint brand or spec, ceilings, walls, woodwork, cleanup and waste. Vague wording leads to disputes over finish.
A single room often costs around GBP 250 to GBP 700, while a full three-bedroom interior can run from GBP 2,000 to GBP 6,000. Exterior painting may range from GBP 1,500 to GBP 5,000 before major repairs or scaffold.
Preparation, ceilings, woodwork, stains, access, paint quality and colour changes drive cost. Dark colours over light, nicotine staining or fresh plaster all need extra steps.
The process runs from survey and colour choice to protection, repairs, sanding, primer, first coat, second coat, touch-ups and clean handover. Small rooms can be one day; full homes take several days or longer.
Good decorators control dust and drying time. They should not paint over damp, loose paint or unsealed fresh plaster.
Matt, durable matt, eggshell, satin, gloss, masonry paint, stain blocker and specialist bathroom paint all serve different jobs. Low-VOC paints can improve indoor comfort.
The right paint depends on room use. Hallways need scrub resistance, kitchens need wipeability, bathrooms need moisture tolerance and exterior surfaces need breathable weather protection.
Painting usually follows plastering, repairs and dusty trades, and often precedes final flooring or final clean. Drying and ventilation matter.
For moving or tenancy deadlines, leave time for snagging. Fresh paint can mark easily if furniture is moved back too soon.
Common mistakes are poor surface preparation, skipping primer, painting over damp, unclear coat numbers and expecting perfect walls without filling or lining. Cheap quotes often remove preparation time.
Use the customer guide and project checklists to compare what is actually included. A good decorator explains surface limits before work starts.
