Preparation
Filling, sanding, stabilising, priming and dealing with older or failed coatings.
Pricing & quotations
Clear quotes, based on the property and preparation required.
Period homes vary. Older plaster, timber windows, exterior masonry, access and repair work all affect the time and materials needed, so most jobs are priced after seeing the property.
Typical smaller works
From £30 per hour
For smaller repair-led decorating jobs, touch-ups, preparation work or clearly scoped tasks. Materials are agreed separately unless included in a written quote.
Most decorating jobs
Quoted per project
Rooms, exteriors, timber windows and period-property decorating are usually quoted after a visit, so the price reflects the surfaces, access, preparation and finish required.
Repair before decoration
Scoped clearly
Loose paint, tired putty, cracked render, damaged timber or failing edges are discussed before work starts, so the quote is clear about what is included.
How quotes are built
What affects the cost?
Access
High exterior work, awkward windows, scaffolding needs, parking and working space.
Materials
Paint system, primers, breathable finishes, wood treatments and specialist products.
Repair work
Timber repairs, cracked render, tired putty, loose surfaces and edges that need attention first.
