Tips for flats and housing societies
- Inform your maintenance office before painting — most societies have rules on work hours and noisy work like scraping.
- Painting before Diwali is popular; book 3–4 weeks ahead to get your preferred dates.
- Fix any bathroom or wall seepage first, or the new paint will bubble and peel within months.
- Ask the painter to bag and remove scraped material — debris should not be left in common corridors.
- Schedule a deep clean for the day after painting finishes.
How to prepare
- Remove wall hangings, curtains and fragile items.
- Move small furniture to the centre of rooms.
- Decide colours in daylight — shades look different under LED lights.
