Tom is obviously very knowledgeable and chats through the job with you beforehand. He offered us good advice and options on how to connect our 2 new vanity sinks, a new shower and new toilet to our existing soil stack. Tom communicates well and arrives as agreed. Would thoroughly recommend and use Tom again as I felt I could trust him to do the job properly, on time and to budget.

I am really pleased with the job - we have had some unexpected niggles, and Michael was always available on the phone to explain and arrange to fix them, and get his team in. (I have been working and not on site - I trusted them to get on with the job whilst I was a work - and they did). The end result is great - on time, at the quoted price, and looks excellent. I would definitely use Michael's firm in the future.

Painters and decorators - what you need to know
Painting and decorating sometimes feels like the kind of job most people can tackle themselves, and many people do. If you’ve got the tools, the patience, and attention to detail then it can be very rewarding to give it a whirl.
What a painter and decorator can help with
- Applying coats of paint (primer and undercoat), to the inside or the exterior of your home.
- Hanging wallpaper.
- Adding special finishes like glazes or marbling.
- They’ll work out how much paint is needed for the size of the walls.
- Stripping off old wallpaper or layers of paint.
- Filling holes and cracks and making sure surfaces are level
- Mixing paint to the right shade, often using computerised colour-matching equipment.
However, if you go with a professional, there are lots of advantages. First off, you’ll get someone who can do it in record time – so why waste a weekend when you can leave a pro to take care of it while you’re at work.
Painters and decorators will also have a full range of tools to get the job done. It’s not just brushes and paint tins – they’ll have:
- Plastic and fabric to protect floors.
- A full range of brushes, rollers and sprays.
- Wallpaper strippers.
- Masking tape so their lines are perfect.
- Large A-frame ladders or scaffolding for high ceilings.
They’re also well versed in calculating exactly how much paint they’ll need to complete the job, so there’s no excess spending on tins, and definitely no last-minute dashes to the shops.
When decorating bathrooms, a pro will know the best materials to use that won’t be too affected by damp or water.
A quality tradesperson will even be able to help you pick colours, or find the perfect match of shade that you’re looking for.
All-in-all you’ll get a slick, professional finish, as well as the creative eye of someone who does it for a living.
Costs for common painting and decorating jobs
Costs will ultimately depend on:
- The size of the room, wall or ceiling.
- The condition of the room to start with.
- Whether old wallpaper needs stripping first.
| Some typical jobs | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Removing décor | £75 | £250 |
| Wallpapering | £100 | £500 |
| removing painting | £150 | £125 |
| Painting | £75 | £750 |
Planning permission for painting and decorating jobs
Planning permission is not generally required for internal decorating. However, if you live in a listed building you should contact your Local Planning Authority.
Insurance for painting and decorating jobs
Most tradespeople should have public liability insurance to cover them against any damage done to your home – always ask about this before you hire someone.
Questions you should ask a painter and decorator
Questions you should ask a painter and decorator- Do they have public liability insurance and what does this cover?
- How long have they been trading for?
- Will they give a guarantee/warranty for the work and how long does it last?
- Will they source all materials and equipment?
- Can they help with colour schemes and/or matching colours.
- Do they have examples and references for previous work?
