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.

Reliability? Communication? Completion of work in a timely manner? Quality of work? Customer Service? Cleanliness and respect for property? The job is done (in a fashion), but I am not convinced it will last or that the guarantee (which I apparently have) is worth anything. Unfortunately I could not recommend. I should not feel like I need to have a strong male physically present to deal with a tradesman (IYKYK). I will attach photos of evidence if I can, so you can see for yourself.
