Quote: wall and ceiling painting
E.g.: refreshing a room, walls + ceiling, matte/satin finishes
For one room or several, record the walls and ceilings, existing condition and desired result. Refreshing a sound surface, correcting uneven walls and dealing with a stained ceiling are not necessarily the same job. This page helps define the painter's scope.
Provide a useful survey brief
List rooms, approximate wall lengths and heights, flat or sloping ceilings, openings and retained items. Include overview photographs and defect details. State whether doors, skirting, radiators and window reveals are included. Confirm quantities during measurement rather than deriving them from floor area.
Have substrates assessed
Flag peeling paint, previous repairs, wallpaper, cracks and stains. Distinguish cleaning, local filling and more extensive surface preparation. Buildwise notes that thin preparation does not correct overall flatness and small imperfections may remain visible in raking light. Agree the expected appearance under the room's lighting.
Address damp before decorating
For recurring marks, request assessment before covering them. Logement.lu identifies water ingress and inadequate moisture removal among possible causes. Bathroom paint does not replace fixing a leak or ventilation problem.
Select colour and coating system
Request the product reference, finish, any primer and planned coats for each substrate. Agree a sample area where appearance is critical. Ecological or professional alone does not specify emissions, cleaning or durability; ask for the selected product documents and application conditions.
Organise protection and handover
Agree furniture movement, floor and equipment protection, wall access and responsibility for removal. Request a schedule reflecting the system's drying conditions. At handover, record coverage, colour, edges and agreed touch-ups together; ask when cleaning and reinstatement are permitted.

Frequently asked questions
Are two coats always enough?
No. Specify the system for substrate, product and colour rather than a universal number.
Does paint hide uneven walls?
It does not make a wall flat by itself. Define the required preparation.
Must every item of furniture be removed?
Agree working space and protection; grouping everything centrally is not always possible.
Does bathroom paint eliminate mould?
It does not treat the cause. Have the source of moisture assessed before covering it.
