Painting and decorating planner
Repainting or wallpapering a room? Give Scopebase the room size and a few details, and get a materials list with quantities, a cost range, a time estimate and the steps in order.
Example: “Repaint my bedroom, about 4m by 3m”
What Scopebase works out
- Wall, ceiling and woodwork areas from your room size
- Litres of paint, or rolls of wallpaper with pattern matching
- Prep materials such as filler, sandpaper and masking tape
- Working hours and days, with drying time shown separately
What we'll ask you
- How long and wide is the room, and how high is the ceiling?
- How many doors and windows are there?
- Are you painting the ceiling, skirting boards and door frames?
- What state are the walls in, and how much is the colour changing?
- Which quality would you like: budget, mid-range or premium?
Safety notes in your plan
- Older homes: test for lead paint before sanding
- Damp or structural problems need professional advice first
- Wallpapering around sockets and switches: switch off the electrics first
Figures are estimates to help you plan, not quotes. For gas, electrical and structural work always use a qualified professional.
