New Build Painting
Get your new build looking exactly how you imagined
About This Service
New build homes are often handed over with basic decoration — typically magnolia walls and white ceilings. While this provides a neutral starting point, most new homeowners want to put their own stamp on their property. Our new build painting service helps you create a home that truly reflects your personality, using the best colours and finishes for each room.
What New Build Painting Involves
- Full assessment of new build surfaces and any minor imperfections
- Light surface preparation — new plaster often needs a period to dry out completely
- Application of mist coat to freshly plastered walls
- Colour consultation to help you choose the right tones for each room
- Two-coat finish in your chosen colours throughout
- Painting of all woodwork, doors and skirtings in the correct sheen level
Why Use a Professional?
New build plaster requires specific knowledge to decorate correctly. Painting too soon or with the wrong products on new plaster leads to peeling and flaking. Our decorators understand the moisture content requirements and ensure each surface is properly prepared and primed before applying finish coats.
Our Process
Assessment
We assess the plaster and other surfaces in your new build, checking moisture levels and identifying any imperfections.
Consultation
We help you choose colours and finishes for each room, providing samples and advice to help you decide.
Preparation
We apply mist coats to new plaster and prepare all surfaces before applying finish coats.
Completion
We paint all walls, ceilings and woodwork throughout the property to deliver a truly personalised finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can I paint new plaster?
New plaster should ideally be allowed to dry for at least one month, though longer is better. The first coat must always be a mist coat — diluted emulsion that allows moisture to continue escaping.
Will my new build developer have left anything for me?
Most developers provide a basic magnolia finish. This gives you a neutral base to work from but rarely reflects how you want your home to look.
Can you help me choose colours?
Yes — we offer colour consultation as part of our service and can help you select colours that work harmoniously throughout your new home.
How long does decorating a new build typically take?
A typical three or four-bedroom new build takes five to eight days to fully decorate throughout, depending on the number of rooms and complexity.
