What goes into the price

Quality starts before the first coat.

Proper preparation and a clear scope help you decide with confidence. These are the details to check in your quotation.

Wall condition

Cracks, flaking paint and loose render need different preparation. The assessment establishes what is required before painting.

Surfaces to be painted

Facade areas, boundary walls, outbuildings and metalwork should be measured and listed separately.

Access and scaffolding

Height, duration and installation conditions affect the equipment. Check what is included and for how long.

Paints and finishes

The product, primer and number of coats should be specified for the substrate and the chosen system’s instructions.

Protecting your home

Windows, floors and gardens need protection. Site arrangements and final cleaning also belong in the agreed scope.

Quotation terms

Compare inclusions, exclusions, VAT and payment terms. Clarify the schedule and how additional work will be handled.

Choose with confidence

Practical example

Connect the measurements with the work to be priced

The photograph at the top of the page shows a measuring device against the wall and a clipboard. The survey then needs to specify surfaces, defects and access: this information allows the work included in each quotation to be compared.

Read the approach and checks

How to approach this situation

Align the elevations and areas included, using the same measurement rules and treatment of openings.
Compare preparation, products, access, protection of nearby areas, exclusions and stated taxes line by line.
Request written clarification of necessary operations that are missing, and check how discoveries after preparation will be handled.

What determines the decision

The total becomes a useful criterion after this comparison. A vague line may conceal a different scope without demonstrating anything about the contractor’s quality.

What to check at the end

Keep the comparison table and the final approved proposal. No price published online replaces a quotation for the assessed building.

Market references, in context.

These third-party ranges help start the conversation. They are neither Pintura Certa’s rates nor a quotation for your home.

Your questions

What is the painting labour cost per square metre?

Labour references are listed separately from complete work in the market table. Preparation, area and access must be assessed for your property. A labour rate does not automatically include materials or scaffolding.

How much does it cost to paint a three-storey building?

The number of storeys alone does not establish a price. The area of each elevation, coating condition, access, junction details and planned duration are needed.

Do I need exact measurements to request a quote?

No. Tell us the location, property type and work required. Photos help prepare the first conversation. Measurements and visit arrangements are clarified at initial contact.
