Skill Overview

The broad purpose of the occupation is to work in the domestic, commercial and public sectors and is responsible for the external and internal appearance of a building and its protection from water, rust, corrosion, mould, and insect infestation.

Therefore, the craft painter and decorator has a continuing responsibility to work professionally and interactively with the client in order to provide good quality services and satisfaction for clients and thus maintain and grow the business. Craft painting and decorating is closely associated with other parts of the construction industry, and with the many products that support it. The craft painter and decorator works internally and externally in very diverse environments, for example in companies, factories, schools, hotels, the homes of clients, and on building sites in all weather conditions. They may offer a range of services, from interpreting client requirements to the environmental and sustainability of materials/drawings, advising on designs/colours, painting, spraying, decorative coatings, wallpapering, gilding, and sign writing to a high standard. Work organisation and self-management, communication and interpersonal skills, problem solving, innovation, creativity, and the ability to prepare surfaces thoroughly with meticulous care including hazardous surfaces such as lead and asbestos are all required. These are the universal attributes of a craft painter and decorator. In a mobile labour market, the craft painter and decorator may work in teams or alone. Whatever the structure of the work, the trained craft painter and decorator takes on a high level of personal responsibility and autonomy. From carefully determining the requirements of the client, working safely and tidily, complying with relevant legislation, exceptional planning and scheduling, precision and attention to detail to every process matters, and mistakes are largely irreversible and costly. With the international mobility of people, the craft painter and decorator faces rapidly expanding opportunities and challenges. For a craft painter and decorator there are many commercial and international opportunities; however, these carry with them the need to understand and work with diverse cultures, trends, and fashions.
