What a painter and decorator does
Painters and decorators handle interior and exterior painting, wallpapering, filling and preparing walls, staining woodwork and repainting the outside of a house. Preparation is most of the job, so when comparing quotes in Bilston ask what is included: filling, sanding, sealing, the number of coats and whether the paint is supplied.

Frequently asked questions
How many coats should I expect?
Two top coats on walls is the norm, with a mist coat on fresh plaster and a primer or undercoat on bare wood. A quote that is much cheaper than the others often means one coat.
Should I supply the paint?
Either is fine. If the decorator supplies it they usually get a trade price and stand behind the finish. If you supply it, buy the brand and finish they ask for, since cheap paint takes more coats.
What time of year is best for exterior painting?
Dry, mild weather. Most decorators avoid exterior work in the wettest and coldest months because paint needs to dry properly. Booking ahead for spring or late summer is normal.

Are the painters and decorators on this page vetted?
Not yet. Listings marked Claimed have been claimed by the business and are kept up to date by them; the rest come from public records and are marked as not yet verified. Every listing shows its real Google rating and review count where one exists. We say plainly what we have checked and what we have not.
What should I check before I hire a painter and decorator?
Ask for a written quote and what it includes, who will do the work, whether they are insured, and any registration the trade needs, such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrics. Never pay the full amount up front.
