Rules and safety
Wall and ceiling finishes on escape routes must meet the surface spread of flame rules, so some coatings need a fire-rated system. Working at height needs proper access equipment, not stepladders for long jobs. Paint on buildings from before the 1980s can contain lead, which changes how it is rubbed down.

Questions
Commercial decorating: common questions
Can you work at night or weekends?
Yes. Most commercial decorating in occupied buildings is done out of hours.
Will it smell?
Modern water-based paints have very little odour. Tell the decorator if you have sensitive areas and they will specify low-odour products.
Can you respray a suspended ceiling?
Yes. Spraying tiles and grid in place is often cheaper than replacing them, as long as the tiles are sound.
