Preparation
Filling, sanding, stabilising, priming and dealing with older or failed coatings.
Pricing & quotations
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.
For smaller repair-led decorating jobs, touch-ups, preparation work or clearly scoped tasks. Materials are agreed separately unless included in a written quote.
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.
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
Filling, sanding, stabilising, priming and dealing with older or failed coatings.
High exterior work, awkward windows, scaffolding needs, parking and working space.
Paint system, primers, breathable finishes, wood treatments and specialist products.
Timber repairs, cracked render, tired putty, loose surfaces and edges that need attention first.

A short visit is usually the best way to give a fair price, especially for older homes and exterior work.
