Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers for homeowners comparing decorating.

Should I supply the paint or will the decorator?
Many decorators are happy to supply paint as part of the quotation, often receiving trade discounts from leading manufacturers. If you already have a preferred brand or colour, you can usually provide the paint yourself. Discuss this before work begins to avoid misunderstandings.
Can decorators repair damaged walls before painting?
Yes. Most painters and decorators can fill holes, repair minor cracks, sand uneven surfaces and prepare walls before decorating. Larger structural damage or extensive plaster repairs may require a plasterer before decorating can begin.
Do painters and decorators hang wallpaper?
Yes. Many professional decorators offer wallpaper hanging, feature walls, mural installation and wallpaper removal. Experienced wallpaper installers can accurately match complex patterns and achieve a seamless finish.
Can decorators paint the outside of my house?
Yes. Exterior decorators can paint brickwork, render, timber cladding, fascias, soffits, window frames, doors, fences and garden buildings using weather-resistant exterior paints designed for the British climate.
What's the best time of year for exterior painting?
Late spring through early autumn generally provides the best weather for exterior decorating. Mild temperatures and dry conditions allow paint to cure properly and produce a longer-lasting finish.
Are professional decorators insured?
Reputable painters and decorators should carry public liability insurance to protect both themselves and your property. Always ask for confirmation of insurance before work begins.
