FAQ

Common questions

Do you charge for quotes?

No. I come and look at the job, then send a written quote that lists exactly what's included.

Do you supply the paint?

Yes. As a professional, I supply trade quality paint that I know and trust, at trade prices. If you want a specific brand, I can advise and supply it if it's suitable for the job.

How long does a typical room take?

Most rooms take two to three days, depending on how much preparation the walls and woodwork need.

Do I need to move furniture first?

Clearing small items and breakables helps. Larger furniture I'll move to the middle of the room and cover with dust sheets.

Are you insured?

Yes, fully insured for public liability. A copy is available on request.
