How it works
From first call to a job done properly
No jargon and no surprises. Here's exactly what happens when you get in touch.
Visit & written quote
We look at the rooms or the outside of your home, check the condition of every surface and agree colours and finishes. You get a written quote that lists the preparation and coats.
Protect
Furniture is moved and covered, floors are sheeted, and fittings, sockets and edges are masked before any sanding starts.
Prepare
Cracks filled, surfaces sanded and cleaned, stains blocked and bare areas primed. This is the step that makes the finish last.
Paint, check & hand over
Clean cut-in lines and even coats, then a careful check for touch-ups. We tidy away and walk round with you before we leave.

FAQs
Questions people ask us

How are decorating jobs priced?
Either by a fixed quote for the job or by a day rate. A written quote that lists the preparation, the number of coats and the finish makes it much easier to compare prices fairly. Send us photos and we can give you a guide price.
Do I need to be at home while you work?
Not necessarily. Many people go to work as normal. We just need access, somewhere to wash brushes and a clear agreement on what's being painted.
Do you supply the paint?
Either works. We can buy the paint for the job, or use a brand and colour you've already chosen. Either way, we'll advise on the right type and finish for each surface.
Which paint should I choose: trade or designer brands?
Trade paints are durable and good value. Designer brands offer distinctive colour depth and ranges. The finish you choose, whether matt, eggshell or satinwood, matters as much as the brand.
Can you help me choose colours?
Yes. Colours look different in every room depending on the light. Paint sample patches on a couple of walls and look at them in the morning and evening before you decide.
How long does the paint smell last?
Modern water-based paints are low-odour, and the smell usually fades within a day or two with the windows open. Oil-based paints smell stronger and for longer.
Can you get rid of Artex ceilings?
Textured ceilings can be skimmed over for a smooth, flat finish. Coatings applied before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a sample should be tested before any work that could disturb it.
How long does it take to decorate a whole house?
It depends on the number of rooms, their condition and how much preparation is needed. A few rooms might take a week, a whole house several weeks. Your quote will include a realistic timeline.
