Get ListedWhether you are finishing a new extension, updating a commercial unit, or refreshing your home’s exterior to protect against damp weather, hiring a professional painter and decorator ensures a clean, long-lasting finish. In Ireland, prep work is 80% of any quality paint job; shortcuts lead to flaking, cracking, and water ingress. Constructors.ie connects you with background-checked, insured painters and decorators in your county. We manually verify their public liability insurance, tax compliance, and client ratings, so you get premium workmanship without the risk.
Interior painting focuses on clean cutting-in, smooth wall skimming, and durable satinwood/eggshell finishes on woodwork (skirtings, architraves, doors). Requires high protection of furniture and flooring.
Exterior painting involves scraping peeling paint, treating algae with biocide washes, priming, and applying weather-resistant exterior masonry paint (like Dulux Weathershield or Sandtex). Crucial for defending Irish homes against high humidity and salt air.
Step 1: Clear all furniture, curtains, and switch plates. Step 2: Wash walls with sugar soap to remove grease and dust. Step 3: Scrape off loose flake paint and sand surfaces smooth.
Step 4: Apply a high-quality primer to raw plasterboard or stained plaster. Step 5: Fill hairline cracks with interior filler and sand flat. Step 6: Mask off trim edges with painters' tape and lay drop sheets.
Painters charge a day-rate between 180 and 280 euro (excluding paint). An average single room (walls and ceiling) costs between 350 and 550 euro for labor.
A standard 3-bed semi-detached interior ranges from 2,500 to 4,000 euro, while an exterior repaint for the same size home costs between 1,800 and 3,200 euro.
Interior painting for a standard 3-bed house ranges from €2,500 to €4,500. Exterior painting ranges from €1,800 to €3,500 depending on scaffolding access and wall prep.
A standard 3-bedroom interior takes 4 to 6 working days for a professional 2-man painting team.
Painters do not require a statutory state license, but professional contractors should carry active public liability insurance and hold trade memberships (e.g., Guild of Master Craftsmen).
Let the painter supply the paint. They have trade accounts with brands like Dulux, Fleetwood, and Crown, and know which primers are compatible with your plaster type.
