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 such as Companies House and Google and are marked as not yet claimed. Every listing shows its real Google rating and review count where one exists. We do not check registers or insurance yet, so ask for a Gas Safe or NICEIC/NAPIT number and check it yourself.
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.
