Drying times will be printed on the container.
Ceiling & coving together, drying time with trade emulsion approx 1 hour. Followed by walls - same drying time..
All woodwork together as soon as emulsion is dry.
I usually paint the walls and ceiling together but leave the wall to coving 'cutting-in ' 'til the covings dry
Drying times can be affected by temp/humidity but if it feels dry then it is dry
