What this scope covers
A cosmetic renovation suits a flat whose layout and main services remain in place but whose rooms need a sound, clean finish. Nikolai checks wall and ceiling condition, drywall joints, corners, old paint and local damage before choosing spot repair or a full skim coat. A small drywall box, crack repair, surface preparation and painting can be planned as one sequence rather than several disconnected visits.
How the work is sequenced
Photograph existing defects, clear the work zones and protect floors, furniture and openings first. Loose old coating is removed back to a stable base rather than hidden under new paint. Joints and cracks are prepared, skim coat is allowed to dry and is sanded, dust is cleared, then primer and the agreed paint system follow. Inspect the result after drying in normal and side lighting, especially near windows and LED strips.
What changes the quote
Room count, height, substrate condition, occupied furniture and the required finish level all change the estimate. A useful quote separates spot repairs from full-wall preparation and lists wall and ceiling areas, primer, paint, protection and cleanup. Painting a sound surface is not the same scope as rebuilding loose plaster. Photos and approximate dimensions help with a first range; hidden defects need an on-site check.
Scope and specialist trades
Cosmetic work does not automatically include rewiring, new flooring, door replacement, tiling or plumbing. If a stain comes from an active leak or a crack signals movement, the cause should be investigated before any finish is applied. Any extra trade, material and responsible party belong in the written scope before work starts.
