Commercial painting
Painting farmhouses: big plots, boundary walls and tiled roofs
Split the budget sensibly
- Main house: premium exterior emulsion
- Outbuildings and staff rooms: economy emulsion
- Boundary walls: cement paint
- Tiled roofs: tile coating
- Gates: enamel over metal primer
Plan for dust and distance
Farmhouses on open land collect dust and are often far from shops. Order the full list in one go, and choose light exterior shades that hide dust.
Timing
Paint between October and March. Treat roofs and parapets before the monsoon if leaks are a concern.
Before the painter starts: a short checklist
- Fix leaks and damp first; paint will not stop water coming through a wall
- Scrape loose and flaking paint; sand glossy patches so the new coat grips
- Fill cracks, then prime repaired spots and any bare plaster
- Use putty only where the wall is uneven, and sand it smooth
- Cover floors and furniture; remove switch plates and fittings
- Note the shade code of every tin, so a later top-up matches
Planning commercial painting around business hours
Commercial buildings lose money when they close, so the painting plan should fit the business. Survey the building first and list areas that can be done while open, such as exteriors, back areas and storerooms, and areas that need closing, such as customer floors and rooms. Use water-based, low-smell products indoors, cordon off work zones, and agree working hours with the contractor in writing. Ordering the full quantity in advance, by area and shade code, avoids delays that stretch the disruption.
What a good painting quote should include
- Areas covered, with measurements
- Surface preparation, repairs and waterproofing
- Products, shade codes and number of coats for each area
- Working hours, safety measures and clean-up
- Timeline and payment stages
