Professional School Painting Contractors in Dublin
OS Decor provides school painting services for primary and secondary schools, colleges, crèches and childcare centres throughout Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. As experienced school painters, we know the brief: hundreds of children through the doors every day, walls that take school bags, chairs and artwork tape, and a calendar that only opens for a few weeks a year.
Every project starts with a site visit and a detailed written estimate, and the programme is planned into the summer, Easter, mid-term and Christmas breaks, or after 4 pm during term, so rooms are ready the morning school resumes. Our team is fully insured, and every project is backed by our 12-month workmanship guarantee. For hospitals, clinics and nursing homes, see our hospital and healthcare painting services. For offices, shops and industrial premises, see our commercial painting services.
School Painting Services We Provide
- Classroom painting – walls, ceilings, doors and skirting in washable, scrubbable finishes
- Corridor, stairwell and assembly hall painting in high-traffic coatings
- Toilets, changing rooms and canteen areas in moisture-resistant paints
- Exterior painting – render, fascias, railings, gates and playground walls
- Crèche and playschool painting in low-VOC, low-odour paints
- Colour-coded wayfinding for year groups, exits and safe routes
- Wall repairs, filling and preparation before every repaint
Every specification is matched to the space – a junior infants room, a science lab and a sports hall each need a different system, and we recommend the right one during your survey.
Schools and Education Settings We Paint
- Primary and secondary schools
- Colleges and further education campuses
- Crèches, Montessoris and playschools
- Special schools and ASD classes
- After-school and homework clubs
- Sports halls, libraries and school offices
From a two-classroom country school to a 1,000-pupil campus, we scale the crew and programme to fit the calendar.
Safe, Durable Finishes for Busy Classrooms
School walls have the hardest life of any interior. We specify scrubbable, stain-resistant emulsions that survive bags, boots and sticky tack, tough satinwood on doors and skirting, and wipe-clean coatings in corridors and toilets so the caretaker can keep them looking fresh between repaints.
Every product we use in schools and crèches is low-VOC and low-odour, chosen so rooms can be back in use the next morning without fumes. Read about our eco-friendly painting approach.
Painting Around the School Calendar
Most of our school painting happens when the building is empty: the summer holidays for full repaints, Easter and mid-term breaks for corridors and halls, and evenings after 4 pm or weekends for single classrooms during term. We agree the programme with the principal and caretaker, work to the school’s child-safeguarding requirements, and our painters complete Garda vetting through the school where it is required. Rooms are protected, cleaned and reset before pupils return, and a leak or vandalism repaint can be handled through our emergency painting service.
Crèche and Childcare Painting Dublin
Crèches, Montessoris and playschools have the same rules as schools, with smaller people and more sensitive noses. We paint childcare centres in low-odour, low-VOC paints suited to registered childcare settings, use bright, washable finishes for playrooms and sleep rooms, and schedule the work for weekends or the August close-down so no session is lost. Hygiene-critical areas such as nappy-changing rooms, kitchens and toilets get wipe-clean coatings, and every room is aired, cleaned and reset before the children come back.

Frequently Asked Questions
School painting costs depend on the number of rooms, ceiling heights, the condition of the surfaces, whether the exterior is included and how tightly the work has to fit the holidays. No two schools are the same, so we provide a free, detailed written estimate after a site visit, laid out so it can go straight to the board of management.
Mostly during the summer holidays, with Easter, mid-term and Christmas breaks used for corridors, halls and smaller blocks of rooms. During term we can paint single classrooms after 4 pm or at weekends so nothing closes.
Where the school requires it, our painters complete Garda vetting through the school’s own process before work starts, and we follow your child-safeguarding and sign-in procedures on site.
Low-VOC, low-odour, washable paints throughout, with scrubbable emulsions on classroom walls, tough satinwood on doors and skirting, and wipe-clean coatings in toilets, corridors and crèche changing areas.
Yes. We paint rendered walls, fascias and soffits, railings, gates and playground boundary walls, using exterior systems that stand up to Dublin weather and daily use.
