Vio and his team worked tirelessly for approximately two weeks including weekends and ended up dewallpapering, skimming and plastering damaged walls & ceilings. There was so much more that Vio's team proactively did which in turn made it easier for the refurbishment. To date, the work has been done to a great standard, extremely quickly and in a very tidy manner. He was also helpful in allowing access to the property for other trades which helped me gain quotes, deliveries etc remotely.
Working hard and clean keeping my clients happy that’s what keeps me going

We really loved working with Jamie! The finish is brilliant and the flat was left pristine. He always ensured we could use the kitchen in the evening despite that being the area he was decorating. He gave helpful advice outside of his remit and always kept us in the loop as to what had been done that day. He was punctual and friendly and I would definitely recommend him! Thanks Jamie!

Ross did a really good job and we were pleased with his work, there were a couple of problems with the wallpapering and after a few days he came back and rectified this. The three stars are for starting a day later than arranged, he said this was because of a previous work arrangement but it meant he only worked one day then was off the weekend. However when work was completed we were delighted with the results.

Nick and his team arrived promptly and phoned to let me know even about a slight delay due to traffic. His work is of a high standard and he kept me informed about the progress and any problems due to poor wall surface which was rubbed down to a good standard. The rooms were left clean and tidy both during and at the end of the job. I am very happy with the end result and would use Nick again for any further work.

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.

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.
