What this work involves
Clarify whether walls will be painted, papered or decoratively finished. Substrate, cracks and grazing light affect the result. Coordinate installations, drying and subsequent work.
- Substrate assessment
- Required finish level
- Corners and reveals
- Drying and sequencing
- Protection and cleaning
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Assess natural surfaces for touch, cleaning and colour variation as well.
What the drawing needs to explain
Detail the lower edge and the junction with another material. Show where water can drain and how an element can be replaced without opening the entire finish.
How to review the result
Assess variation against the agreed sample and product information. Distinguish natural differences from damage or an incorrectly executed junction.
Cost factors for this service
Area, substrate, thickness and detail work influence the price.
Bring this to the discussion
Wall and ceiling photographs, areas and intended finish.
