Homes older than 2 years qualify for the reduced 9% VAT rate on labour.<\/p>\n We cover every painting job in and around your home<\/a>. Here’s what we do for each, and what to watch for.<\/p>\n Interior painting covers walls, ceilings, internal doors, window frames and staircases. Because preparation is lighter and weather isn’t a factor, it costs less than exterior work \u2014 on average \u20ac 30\u2013\u20ac 35 per m\u00b2. We work dust-controlled, protect your floors and furniture, and leave the room clean.<\/p>\n Exterior painting protects your home against rain, sun, frost and wood rot. It needs weather-resistant paint, more preparation and sometimes scaffolding, so the price is higher \u2014 on average \u20ac 35\u2013\u20ac 40 per m\u00b2. We work in a system of primer, intermediate coat and topcoat, at a stable temperature (12\u201320 \u00b0C) for the best result.<\/p>\n How often does exterior paintwork need redoing? On average every 5 to 7 years, depending on exposure, colour and the quality of the previous coat. Touching up small damage early prevents wood rot and costly repairs later.<\/p>\n Painting a staircase is precision work: plenty of sanding, thorough degreasing and a hard-wearing topcoat that stands up to daily use. Because it’s detailed work, we usually charge by the hour rather than per m\u00b2.<\/p>\n What does it cost to paint a staircase?<\/strong> A staircase is usually priced by the hour (\u20ac 35\u2013\u20ac 55\/hr), because of the sanding and detail involved. The total depends on the number of steps, the condition of the wood, and whether old layers need removing. A durable finish normally needs a primer plus two topcoats.<\/p>\n Painting window frames is both maintenance and protection: well-painted woodwork keeps out moisture and prevents wood rot. Exterior frames need weather-resistant lacquer and careful prep around glazing beads and corners.<\/p>\n What does it cost to paint window frames?<\/strong> Window frames are usually priced per unit or by the hour (\u20ac 35\u2013\u20ac 55\/hr) rather than per m\u00b2, because of the detail. The price depends on how many frames, interior or exterior, and the condition of the wood. Rot or loose glazing beads mean extra repair work \u2014 we assess this during the free site visit.<\/p>\n A ceiling needs an even, streak-free finish with no roller marks. For large, smooth ceilings, spraying is often faster and cleaner than rolling.<\/p>\n What does it cost to paint a ceiling?<\/strong> Expect roughly \u20ac 10\u2013\u20ac 20 per m\u00b2 for a ceiling with brush and roller; spraying is often cheaper in an empty room. The price depends on the condition of the surface, the number of coats, and whether cracks or stains need covering.<\/p>\n We finish interior and exterior doors smooth in the lacquer, without brush marks. Good preparation \u2014 sanding, degreasing, priming \u2014 determines how crisp the result is.<\/p>\n What does it cost to paint a door?<\/strong> Painting a door costs on average \u20ac 60\u2013\u20ac 100 per door, including primer and topcoat. The price depends on the size, the condition of the door and the finish level you want.<\/p>\n Wall painting (emulsion or latex) is the most common interior job. For large, smooth surfaces, roll-on emulsion (\u20ac 10\u2013\u20ac 16 per m\u00b2) or spraying (\u20ac 6\u2013\u20ac 12 per m\u00b2) is more economical than brushwork.<\/p>\n Spray painting gives the smoothest, most even finish on large surfaces such as ceilings, walls, doors and cabinets. It needs extra masking and preparation, but on big areas it saves time and often costs less per m\u00b2 (\u20ac 6\u2013\u20ac 12) than brushwork.<\/p>\n Cost depends on the surface, the condition of the substrate, the number of coats and the paint quality. 2026 guide prices:<\/p>\nOur painting work \u2014 interior and exterior<\/h2>\n
