About This Job

Property type:Three-bedroom semi-detached rental house
Client type:Private landlord
Service:Painting and decorating

What We Did

Scope

Internal redecoration of a three-bedroom semi-detached property

Preparation

Wallpaper stripped in two bedrooms; walls filled and prepared

Decoration

Two coats of fresh emulsion applied throughout, including ceilings

Result

Completed in four working days; incoming tenant moved in on time

Project details

Five days between tenancies

The landlord needed the house refreshed before the incoming tenants arrived, leaving a five-working-day window for the decorating. The agreed work was an internal redecoration of the three-bedroom semi-detached property rather than a kitchen or bathroom refurbishment.

Wallpaper removal and surface preparation

Old wallpaper was stripped from two bedrooms. The team filled and prepared the walls before painting. Preparing the substrate is an important part of a void-period repaint, especially when marks or defects may remain after stripping older wallpaper.

Two coats of fresh emulsion

The team painted throughout the property with two coats of fresh emulsion, including the ceilings. The documented scope centred on wallpaper removal, preparation and paint finishes; no flooring, kitchen replacement or other additional works have been assumed.

On-time handover

The redecoration was completed in four working days, one day inside the planned five-day window. The landlord inspected the finish and was satisfied. The new tenant was able to move in on the expected date. This is an example of planning decorating around a tight tenancy changeover.

Outcome

Property redecorated in four working days. The landlord approved the work, and the new tenancy started as planned.
