Will a decorator fill cracks?

Yes, filling cracks and preparing surfaces is a standard part of most decorating services to ensure a smooth, flawless finish.

Should I hire a painter or paint it myself?

Hiring a professional can save you time and ensure a high-quality finish, especially for complex projects or high ceilings. If you’re considering a DIY approach, weigh the complexity of the job against your skills and the time you can dedicate.

Do paint quotes include the paint?

This depends on the decorator. Some quotes will include materials, while others may charge separately for paint. Always confirm this detail upfront.

I first asked for a quote to redecorate a bathroom after water damage occurred. Then realising it would be a good time to get the spare bedroom done John agreed to do this too and quoted for both. My mum is elderly and needed understanding whilst carers were in, this was never an issue. First class work and care and consideration, on top of that the hall and vestibule were beautifully decorated too, front door needs painting in the good weather. John and Maxine are on speed dial. Highly recommend.

We have been very pleased with all aspects of Chris's work, the job was started on time and completed as scheduled. The en suite and downstairs loo being done before Christmas and the Main Family bathroom in the New Year. Any Snags were overcome and a high quaility finish in all rooms bringing our bathrooms upto date. Chris arrived when he said he would often 7.30 in the morning and even Saturdays. We would recommend Chris to family and friends without question, and have him back in the future - Fiona Kevin and Family

A very reliable, hardworking, clean and tidy couple of young men ( very hard to find today). Nothing too much trouble for them and very eager to please. Would have no hesitation in recommending to others. Although our wall seemed only a smallish job (front garden wall) the work carried out was first class. Thanks again Tim and Steve for a brilliant job well done!
