Interior painting: what the job involves

Painting the inside of a home — walls, ceilings, woodwork, doors and radiators — including the filling, sanding and protecting that make the paint last. Most of a good interior job is preparation.

How long it takes: A typical bedroom takes a day, or two with woodwork; a whole house interior is usually one to two weeks, longer where there is a lot of filling, high ceilings or a strong colour change.

What interior painting in Leap costs, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

Preparation needed: cracks, stains, peeling paint, wallpaper to strip
Number and size of rooms, ceiling heights and stairwells
Woodwork, doors, windows and radiators included or not
Colour changes and dark colours that need extra coats
Whether the rooms are empty or furnished
Paint quality, and whether the painter or you supply it
VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.
