Before the visit
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what clients usually ask us before booking this service.
Do I need to clear the room first?
Where possible, yes. Furniture moved to the centre or removed speeds up preparation; we cover and protect everything that stays.
Do you supply the paint?
We can supply paint and materials, or use a specific brand and colour you provide — confirm your preference before the visit.
How is damp or damaged plaster handled?
We inspect and report it before painting. Repairs are quoted separately so the finish lasts.
How do I get a price?
Use the instant estimate for an indicative figure, or request a confirmed written quotation — we normally reply within one working day.
Are you insured and checked?
Yes. We are fully insured, enhanced DBS checked, a registered waste carrier and COSHH and manual handling trained.
