Other internal painting and decorating FAQs

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.

He arrived when he said he would, and carried out the work thoroughly and professionally. He included items that we only became aware of after he started, not a problem.
