Why Choose Renova for Painting & Decorating

A fresh coat of paint is the simplest and most cost-effective way to transform a room. But the difference between a DIY job and a professional finish is visible from the doorway. Cutting in, brush marks, drip lines, uneven coverage, paint on the skirting — these are the details that separate a weekend attempt from a result you are genuinely proud of.

At Renova Builds, our decorators treat every surface with care. We prepare thoroughly — filling cracks, sanding, priming, masking — because we know the finish is only as good as the preparation beneath it. Whether you need a single room refreshed or an entire property repainted inside and out, we deliver a clean, lasting result with minimal disruption to your daily life.

What We Include

Our painting and decorating service covers every stage of the process, from surface preparation to the final coat:

• Full room preparation — moving and covering furniture, protecting flooring, masking woodwork and fittings
• Surface repair — filling cracks, holes, and imperfections in plaster, sanding smooth
• Primer and undercoat application where required for proper adhesion and opacity
• Interior wall and ceiling painting — emulsion, matt, silk, or eggshell finishes
• Woodwork painting — skirting boards, door frames, window frames, and spindles
• Exterior painting — render, fascia, window frames, doors, fences, and gates
• Wallpaper hanging — standard paste-the-wall, paste-the-paper, and feature panels
• Wallpaper stripping and wall preparation for new finishes
• Feature walls — accent colours, textured finishes, and decorative treatments
• Full clean-up and reinstatement of furniture after completion

Interior vs Exterior — What to Expect

Interior and exterior decorating require different approaches, products, and timelines. Here is how they differ:

Interior decorating focuses on precision. Cutting-in around ceilings, skirting, and light switches needs a steady hand and patience. We use low-odour, quick-drying paints wherever possible so you can use the room sooner. For wallpapering, we ensure every pattern is aligned and every seam is invisible.

Exterior decorating is about protection as much as appearance. We use weather-resistant masonry paints, exterior-grade wood finishes, and flexible fillers that accommodate seasonal expansion and contraction. We also factor weather windows into our scheduling to avoid rain damage to fresh coats.

Our Process

• Step 1 — Consultation: We visit your property, assess the surfaces, discuss your colour preferences and finishes, and take measurements. This is free and without obligation.
• Step 2 — Quote: We provide an itemised quote covering preparation, materials, and labour. We specify exactly which products we plan to use so you know what you are getting.
• Step 3 — Preparation & Painting: We protect your home, prepare all surfaces thoroughly, and apply coats methodically. We work room by room to minimise disruption.
• Step 4 — Inspection: We walk you through every room in natural and artificial light to check for any touch-ups needed before we consider the job complete.

How Long Does Painting & Decorating Take?

Timelines depend on the number of rooms and the condition of existing surfaces. As a rough guide: a single room (walls and ceiling) typically takes 1 to 2 days. A full 3-bedroom house interior repaint usually takes 5 to 8 working days. Exterior work on a standard semi-detached property takes 3 to 5 days, weather permitting. We confirm exact timelines in your quote.

How Much Does Painting & Decorating Cost?
