A useful decorating enquiry covers surface condition, room size, number of coats, access and preparation. The finish depends as much on preparation and materials as on the visible paintwork.
Tell us as much as you can about the job and provide photographs where useful. Service coverage, timing and any specialist requirements are checked before an arrangement is confirmed.
Point out cracks, flaking paint, damp symptoms or uneven areas before a quotation is prepared.
Specify colour, trim, doors, ceilings and paint requirements, including whether materials are supplied.
Ask for protective covering, surface preparation and final cleaning to be identified in the agreed scope.
Photos help with the initial discussion, but an inspection may still be needed for accurate surface preparation and labour requirements.
Mention cracks or holes before quoting so preparation is not omitted.
Agree who supplies paint and consumables in writing before confirming the job.
