Request a quote for the association

How does painting for a housing association differ from private painting work?

When a housing association commissions painting, the scope, pricing model and documentation need to be agreed for its project. The ROT tax deduction does not apply to the association's shared areas.

A housing association commissions the work for the property. State who represents the association and who can approve the quote and any changes.

The association cannot use a ROT tax deduction for its shared areas. A member's private order inside their own home is a separate job, for which current conditions need to be checked with the Swedish Tax Agency.

Describe the property and required work when the association contacts NLL Måleri. Agree on contact arrangements, access and information for residents before work begins.

How do you hire a painter for a housing association?

Prepare a common quote brief, compare scope and price, make the association's decision and document the agreement. Also agree on how the work will be monitored and handed over.

The assessment needs a description of the relevant sides of the façade, areas and surface condition. The quote should state which preparation and painting stages are included.

Compare quotes for the same scope and check the company's details and relevant references. Specify the pricing model, schedule and division of responsibility in the agreement.

Decide whom the association contacts during the work, how residents are informed and how changes are approved. Also document handover and payment terms.

1. Describe the areas and required scope. 2. Request itemised quotes. 3. Compare the same work and make a decision. 4. Agree on price, timing and responsibility. 5. Monitor the work and document the handover.

How much does exterior wall painting cost for a housing association?

The labour price for exterior wall painting is 625–875 SEK/m² for timber and 500–750 SEK/m² for render or brick, including VAT. Paint, tape and protection are charged separately at 187.50–250 SEK/m² including VAT. Scaffolding and any repairs are listed separately in the quote.

Façade material, surface condition and the agreed treatment affect the scope. Compare quotes describing the same areas and work.

The association's estimate must be calculated without a ROT tax deduction. Labour, materials, scaffolding and any repairs need to be kept separate in the quote. Do not assume scaffolding is free.

The full ranges for each façade type are specified under Façade renovation prices.

Which jobs can the association ask NLL Måleri to assess?

NLL Måleri offers painting of timber, rendered and brick façades, as well as cladding replacement. Window and door work needs to be specified according to its scope.

State which parts of the property the association would like assessed. Separate painting from cladding replacement and other measures so that the scope of the quote is clear.

For the façade, the surface, area and any cladding replacement need to be described separately. Also state which windows and doors are involved and what repairs are wanted; the scope of the work is confirmed in the quote.

How should the association plan façade maintenance?

Plan façade maintenance based on the material, previous treatment and current condition of the façade. A general interval in years is not a guarantee for the property.

Document changes on each side of the façade and follow the instructions for the existing paint system. New damage needs investigating even if planned maintenance is further away.

Prioritise work according to established needs and the association's plans. Describe which areas can be treated in the same phase and what needs closer assessment.

Ask for a clearly defined brief for the painting work the association is considering. An estimate must be distinguished from a confirmed quote and from the association's overall maintenance plan.

How a housing association project works – 4 steps

Describe the project, compare the itemised quote and document price, timing and responsibility before commissioning the work.

  1. Site visit and itemised quote for the board.
  2. The board makes its decision based on our information.
  3. We draw up a contract with a clear schedule.
  4. Agree on how the work is carried out and consideration for residents.

Which environmental requirements and documents should be specified in the brief?

State the association's product and documentation requirements in the enquiry. Ask the contractor to confirm which requirements can be met by the proposed treatment.

Ask for product names and available product and safety data sheets for the proposed materials. Do not assume that a particular environmental label or emissions class is included without confirmation.

The quote needs to show which pricing model applies and which documents are included in the project. Also document how product substitutions and other changes must be approved.

Frequently asked questions

Can the association use a ROT tax deduction for exterior wall painting?
No, the association cannot use a ROT tax deduction for work on its shared areas. A member's private order in their own home is a separate job for which current conditions need to be checked.
How should the board compare several quotes?
Send the same description to the contractors you are comparing. Check areas, preparation, materials, access, pricing model and schedule before comparing the totals.
Does the association receive a fixed price or time-and-materials billing?
The quote should state the pricing model for the project. Ask for clearly described work, material items and how any additional costs will be handled.
Is scaffolding included in the price of exterior wall painting for a housing association?
Scaffolding and other access arrangements need to be specified in the quote. Do not assume scaffolding is included in the labour price per square metre or provided free of charge.
When does the association's façade need repainting?
The need depends on the façade's material, previous treatment and condition. Assess each side of the façade and use documented maintenance guidance for the existing paint system.
How is the paint system for the façade chosen?
The paint system needs to suit the surface and previous treatment. Ask for the product choice and planned treatments to be included in the quote.

What preparation should be included before exterior wall painting?

Preparation needs to suit the condition of the façade and its previous treatment. Ask for cleaning, loose paint layers and any repairs to be described in the quote. NLL does not offer façade washing as a standalone job.
