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.

So pleased with the work Ciprian did for me. He sourced the security gate and found a great reasonable price for me. He communicated throughout and arrived promptly to my home to install the gate. He was very professional and polite at all times. He demonstrated how to use the gate and fully explained the whole process. I would recommend Ciprian and am very grateful for the work he completed.
