If you’re planning to repaint your office, one of the first questions is likely, “How much will it cost, and how long will it take?” Soon after, you’ll probably ask, “What impact will this have on our business operations?” Let’s break down the key factors: pricing, variables, and ways to minimise disruption.
Why Are You Repainting Your Office?
Before diving into costs, it’s essential to consider why you’re repainting. Are you refreshing the colour scheme, addressing wear and tear, or solving issues like peeling paint or dampness? Understanding your goals can help you make informed decisions throughout the process.
Office Painting Prices
The cost of office painting depends on factors like room size, paint type, and the scope of work. Let’s explore some typical scenarios:
Basic Painting (Walls Only)
For an office with suspended ceilings and no skirting boards, painting walls, door frames, and window sills typically costs £400–£500 for a small office (approx. 5m x 4m).
A larger office—three times the size—might cost around £1,000. Larger spaces can often be painted more efficiently, reducing the cost per square metre.
Comprehensive Painting (Walls, Ceilings, and Details)
If the same 5m x 4m office also requires ceiling, skirting boards, and additional detailing, the cost increases to approximately £650–£750. Variables such as the number of doors, windows, high ceilings, or hard-to-reach areas may affect the final price.
Paint Colour and Material Costs
Paint colour can also influence costs. Standard colours like white or magnolia are the most affordable. Opting for custom colours or premium paints can double material costs, which could add hundreds of pounds to larger projects.
Additional Office Painting Options
To get the most out of your office repainting, consider these enhancements:
Durable Paint for Longevity
High-traffic areas in commercial spaces are prone to wear and tear. Durable paint, although 2–3 times more expensive than standard paint, can significantly extend the lifespan of your office decor. This investment often adds just 10% to the total project cost but keeps your office looking fresh for years longer. Durable paints are tougher, abrasion-resistant, and scrubbable—ideal for maintaining a polished appearance.
Addressing Underlying Issues
Persistent problems like dampness or peeling paint in areas like washrooms should be resolved during the repainting process. Specialist primers and sealers can fix these issues and ensure a long-lasting finish. Informing your painting team of such challenges during the quotation stage helps them plan accordingly for a seamless transformation.
