Painting and decorating in your region: survey, brief and planning
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.
