Interior Painting in Cork
Interior painting is where AME Services started, and it's still what we do most often. Whether it's a single feature wall or a full house refresh, the finish comes down to the same thing every time: proper preparation, quality materials, and taking the time to get straight lines and clean edges.
How we approach interior painting
Protection first
Floors, furniture and fittings are fully covered before a tin of paint is opened. Dust-conscious sanding and masking keep your home liveable while we work.
Real preparation
Filling, sanding, and priming problem areas properly — the difference between a finish that lasts five years and one that lasts fifteen is almost always in the prep, not the paint.
Premium application
Two full coats as standard, with careful cutting-in around trim, sockets and ceilings for crisp, straight lines throughout.
Tidy handover
Dust sheets and masking removed, surfaces wiped down, and any leftover paint labelled and left with you for future touch-ups.
Interior Painting — frequently asked questions
How long does it take to paint the inside of a house?
A single room typically takes one to two days including prep and two coats, while a full house refresh usually runs from three days to a week depending on size. We give you an exact timeline as part of every quote, so there are no surprises.
Do I need to move my furniture before you start?
No — we move and cover furniture as part of the job. If a room needs to be fully cleared for practical reasons we'll tell you in advance, but in most cases we work around what's there.
How many coats of paint do you use?
Two full coats as standard on walls and ceilings, sometimes three over strong existing colours or repaired patches, to get a fully even, opaque finish rather than a thin coat that shows through.

The Challenge
A family kitchen and dining area in Midleton with tired, yellowing walls and scuffed woodwork that hadn't been touched in over a decade.
Our Solution
We filled and sanded damaged plaster, primed the stained patches, and applied two coats of Dulux Trade Diamond Matt in a warm neutral tone, with Crown Trade satinwood on the skirting and door frames for a durable, wipeable finish.
The Result
A bright, modern kitchen and dining space with crisp, straight lines throughout — ready for family life again the same week.
