London Flat Renovations

Painters & Decorators

21 October 2018

“A very professional service, wonderful design and dedicated workmanship. They took 10 days to do a full renovation of a flat for us, dealing with decorating, carpentry, electrics and plumbing. Very efficient and cost effective compared to other contractors who quoted. Their communication was regular and effective i.e i did not need to get too involved as they just got on with it and took care of usual technical unforeseen issues that arise with construction. I'd highly recommend using them and I will use them again without hesitation”

What jobs do painters and decorators do?

As well as plain painting jobs, many painters and decorators will take on other jobs as well. If you’re dealing with an old or run-down property and you need the walls completely stripped down before painting, this could be tackled by a painter decorator. Some professionals will also carry out repairs on paint work and walls, from small cracks and holes to sometimes larger repairs like fixing window panes, doorframes and sills. Some painters and decorators may specialise in certain kinds of painting, such as window exteriors, doors, gates and fences. And finally, you may find some contractors are very good at the finishing touches, not only neatly finishing paint work but also installing beautiful wallpaper, wall stickers, painting intricate or fiddly features or even painting patterns and murals on your walls.

Why should I hire a painter and decorator rather than doing it myself?

Even if you are planning on going very simple with your walls, perhaps a crisp white or grey, then using painters and decorators to finish the job to a high standard is still advisable. Not only will it mean your painted walls will be clean and precise, but it will also save you the time and effort of painting and decorating yourself. House painters will be quick and efficient at painting your rooms, and if you have a tricky outside wall or space that needs painting, specialist exterior painters are the professionals for the job.

Search for painters and decorators on Houzz to see past painting and decorating projects and reviews from clients to see if there’s a professional that can help you with your project. Even if a local painter decorator doesn’t specialise in your kind of project, ask them first, and they may know other professionals that can help, such as wallpaper specialists, paint companies or wall sticker or mural installers.

Questions to ask potential painters and decorators:

How long have you been a painter and decorator?
How many projects like mine have you completed?
Can I see examples of your previous projects?
Do you work alone or employ others?
Can you install wallpaper as well as paint?
Do you provide the supplies? Or do I need to choose a specific paint beforehand?
Can you provide me with references?
Can you give me a written estimate?
When will you carry out the job and how long will it take?
What happens if the costs end up exceeding my budget?
Will you prepare the walls for paint or wallpaper, e.g. stripping and priming?
Do you offer repairs or retouches of paint, wallpaper and walls?
Should I do anything to protect or look after my walls once treated?
