Frequently asked questions

Should I supply the paint myself? +

You can supply your own paint if you have a specific colour in mind, though many decorators prefer to source their own trusted products. If supplying your own, tell your decorator in advance so they can advise on quantities and suitable finishes.

Do decorators do preparation work? +

Most professional decorators include surface preparation — filling, sanding and priming — in their quotes as this is essential for a high-quality finish. Always confirm what prep is included before work begins.

How do I get an accurate quote? +

The most accurate quotes come from an in-person visit where the decorator can assess room sizes, ceiling heights, the condition of existing surfaces and the complexity of any decorative features. Use Trades Merchant to request a site visit quote from local professionals.
