Moratuwa painters work on coastal houses and on the town's furniture and joinery trade, so enamel and wood finishing are a bigger part of the work here than in most Sri Lankan towns.

What to expect

  • Professionals from Moratuwa, where much of the island's timber and furniture trade is based
  • Wall area measured and quoted per square foot, not guessed by room
  • A clear statement of paint brand, grade and number of coats
  • Putty, sanding and crack filling priced openly rather than skipped

Helpful tips

If you are having timber doors, windows or furniture finished, agree the system rather than just the colour: primer, undercoat and topcoat, and how many coats of each. On timber, the system decides the life of the finish far more than the brand does.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring in Moratuwa

Questions about finding a tradesperson in Moratuwa? Here are the answers homeowners ask most.

About Rs 2,500 to Rs 7,500 per door or window, depending on size, condition and how much sanding and stripping the old finish needs. Bare new timber costs less to finish than a door being stripped back.

Yes. Salt and humidity get into the grain wherever the film breaks, so end grain and joints fail first. Sealing end grain properly at the start is what makes coastal timber finishes last.
