Interior painting
Interior painting is all about finish: crisp walls and ceilings, evenly lacquered doors, staircases and frames. The difference lies in the preparation and in masking and covering the room neatly.

- Crisp finish
- Neatly covered

What interior painting covers
Interior painting includes painting walls and ceilings, lacquering interior doors, staircases, frames and other woodwork, and where needed repairing minor damage to the plasterwork. We cover floors and furniture and finish the edges crisply.
Preparation makes the difference
A crisp interior finish depends more on preparation than on the number of coats applied. We sand and fill where needed, remove loose or flaking old paint, and make sure the surface is clean and dry before priming. Skipping this step is the most common reason an interior paint job looks patchy or doesn’t last.
Choosing the right finish
Walls and ceilings are usually painted with a matt or low-sheen finish, while woodwork such as doors, skirting and staircases benefits from a more durable, wipeable finish. We advise on the right sheen level per surface, based on how the room is used.
Interior work for VvE’s: stairwells and communal areas
Interior painting isn’t limited to private homes. Communal stairwells, hallways and other shared areas in apartment blocks need the same careful preparation and finish, often planned around residents’ daily use of the building.
What it costs
We don’t quote a fixed price per m² for interior painting, because the condition of the surface and the number of coats needed affect the price so much — see our full explanation of what determines the cost.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to empty the room completely?
Not always. We cover furniture and floors; large or fragile items are best moved in advance. We discuss this beforehand.
How much disruption does interior painting cause?
We work neatly and in phases so you can keep using the home as much as possible. Modern interior paints are also virtually odourless.
Can you repair plasterwork before painting?
Yes, minor damage to plaster or drywall is repaired as part of the preparation, before we prime and paint.
How many coats do you typically apply?
That depends on the surface and the colour change involved. We advise on the right number of coats during the assessment, so the result is even and fully covering.
Do you also paint staircases and interior woodwork?
Yes, staircases, interior doors and window frames are part of our interior work, alongside walls and ceilings.
Is a quote for interior painting free and non-binding?
Yes, always. We assess the rooms involved first, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
What does interior painting cost?
That depends on the surface area, the condition of the walls or ceiling, and the number of coats needed. We don’t publish a fixed price per m² — see our full explanation of what determines the cost.
Do you also paint communal stairwells for a VvE?
Yes, communal stairwells and hallways are interior work we regularly carry out for homeowners’ associations, alongside their exterior maintenance.
Can I combine interior painting with exterior work in one project?
Yes, many clients combine both so it’s scheduled as a single project rather than two separate ones.
