Questions

Painting and decorating, answered.

Anything else, ask the pro in your request.

Who buys the paint?

Either way works. Most decorators buy it at trade price and add it to the quote. If you have a colour in mind, name it in the request.

How long does a room take?

A bedroom is usually two days: one to prepare and cut in, one for the second coat and woodwork.

Do I need to clear the room?

Take out small and fragile things. Decorators move and cover the larger furniture themselves.
