Interior painting
Interior painting decides how a building looks on handover day. We take the full wall and ceiling package for the whole project, from bare plaster to the final coat, with one site engineer answerable for level, finish and dates.
What is included
- Surface checking, crack filling and curing checks before any coat goes on
- Two coats of wall putty, sanded to a level surface
- One coat of primer matched to the paint system
- Two or more coats of emulsion in the specified shade and sheen
- Enamel or PU paint on doors, grills and metalwork where it is in scope
- Masking of floors, fittings and joinery, and cleaning before handover
Materials and systems
- Economy, premium and luxury emulsions from Asian Paints, Berger, Nerolac, Dulux and Birla Opus
- Matt, soft sheen and high sheen finishes
- Low-odour systems for occupied hotels and offices
Products are fixed by the project specification. We apply the system the architect, owner or builder selects and advise where a different product would last longer.
How we carry it out
- 01
Measure and specify
Wall and ceiling areas are measured from drawings and on site, and the paint system is fixed in writing, product by product.
- 02
Prepare
Hollow plaster, cracks and damp patches are reported and treated before putty starts.
- 03
Putty and primer
Putty is applied in two coats and sanded under light so undulations show before paint, not after.
- 04
Paint
Coats are applied floor by floor in an agreed sequence so other trades are not held up.
- 05
Snag and hand over
Each room is checked against a snag list with your team, touched up and signed off.
Interior painting: common questions
- How many coats does a new wall need?
- A newly plastered wall normally receives two coats of putty, one coat of primer and two coats of emulsion. Repainting a sound wall usually needs touch-up putty, one coat of primer and two coats of paint.
- How long does interior painting take?
- Repainting a two-bedroom flat typically takes four to six working days. Fresh painting with full putty, or work in an occupied home, takes about six to ten. Villas, hotel floors and towers are programmed room by room or floor by floor after a site visit.
- Which paint brands do you apply?
- Whichever the project specifies. We apply interior systems from Asian Paints, Berger, Nerolac, Dulux and Birla Opus, from economy to luxury tiers.
- Do you paint a single room or a single flat?
- No. We take interior painting as part of a complete project: a whole villa, a hotel floor or wing, an apartment building or a commercial space.
