Residential Interior Painting In Limerick & Clare
Limerick Painting & Decorating provides interior & exterior whole house painting services for homeowners & landlords across Limerick and Clare. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or repainting an entire property, our team delivers a clean, professional finish with minimal disruption to your home. We handle everything from wall and ceiling painting to woodwork, skirting boards, doors, and feature walls, using quality trade paints suited to Irish homes and climate conditions.
Every interior job starts with proper preparation. Surfaces are cleaned, cracks and holes are filled, and old or flaking paint is sanded back before any colour goes on. Furniture and flooring are fully covered and protected, and we work room by room to keep the rest of your home usable while the job is ongoing. For occupied homes, we offer low odour, quick drying paints so you’re not left waiting days for rooms to air out.
We regularly work on period properties throughout Limerick city, as well as newer builds across the county, and understand the different challenges each brings, from damp prone older plasterwork to the crisp, sharp lines expected in modern finishes. The paint brands we work with include Dulux Trade and Fleetwood. They are chosen for durability and colour consistency and they offer a full range of finishes, including matt, silk, and eggshell depending on the room and surface.

Our Interior Painting Process
From first inspection to final walkthrough, every interior painting job follows the same structured process, giving Limerick and Clare homes a durable, professional finish with minimal disruption.
1. Inspection & Preparation
We start by assessing each room, checking wall and ceiling condition, identifying damp, cracks, or previous paint failures, and agreeing the scope of work with you. Furniture is moved or covered, flooring is protected with dust sheets, and fixtures, sockets, and trim are masked before any work begins.
2. Filling, Sanding & Priming
Cracks, holes, and uneven joints are filled and sanded back to a smooth, even surface. Bare plaster, stained areas, and repaired patches are primed or mist coated so the topcoat absorbs evenly and adheres properly, preventing flashing or patchy coverage later.
3. Application
We apply premium trade paints in even coats, working systematically room by room, with walls, ceilings, and woodwork all finished to the correct drying times between coats. Cutting in around coving, skirting, and fittings is done by hand for crisp, clean lines throughout.
4. Inspection, Finishing & Clean-Up
Once the final coat is dry, we walk each room with you to check coverage, finish quality, and colour consistency. Dust sheets, tape, and masking are removed, surfaces are wiped down, and the space is left clean and ready to use.
