Common Questions About Decorating Costs
Do you charge by the day or by the job?
We quote by the job. You'll receive a written price before we start — no day-rate surprises. This means if a job takes us longer than expected, you don't pay extra.
How long does it take to decorate a room?
A standard double bedroom with walls, ceiling and woodwork typically takes one to one-and-a-half days. A hallway, stairs and landing usually takes two days. A full house repaint is typically completed within one to two weeks, working room by room so your home stays liveable.
Can I combine decorating with other work?
Yes — and it's often more cost-effective. We regularly combine painting with wallpaper removal, plaster repairs, and staircase renovation in one visit, saving you multiple call-out charges.
Do you work in occupied properties?
Yes. We're used to decorating in occupied homes and take care to protect furniture and flooring. We work room by room and use dustsheets and masking throughout. Many of our clients are in their homes throughout the project.
