If you have never hired professional painters & decorators before then you will probably be wondering what to expect in terms of how long the job will take, how you will need to prepare your home or workplace for the arrival of the decorating team and what additional services you might require in order to complete your home refurbishment projects.

In the first instance, as with any other home improvement jobs you should always get a quote in writing from your chosen painting & decorating company. This will ensure that there is no confusion further down the line in terms of costs and also the exact work that they have promised to complete. A verbal contract is less useful as you can easily forget what was said and then both parties are unclear about where they stand in terms of the work that was agreed on.

Secondly you should ask your painters and decorators what if anything they will require you to move in terms of furniture and home accessories prior to them starting the work. This will ensure that none of your items get damaged but also that the decorators have easy access to the rooms they are working on. You may also be required to provide certain items such as power sockets, water and the all-important kettle so they can make a cup of tea!

Your painters & decorators should outline with you each day what they will be doing so that you know what to expect to find when you get home from work. This will be important because you’ll need to know whether or not you can use certain rooms or areas and whether paint needs to be left to dry.

If you are having any kind of home improvement works you may need additional services besides painting & decorating to get the job done. This may include electrical work, carpentry and plumbing. Usually your decorators can recommend someone or they may use someone they know and add this in to the overall price.
