(Q1 ) How do I go about getting a free estimate from you ?
( A1 ) That’s easy, you can get in touch using three different ways Email , Phone or Text. After initial
contact we can arrange a date and time for me to come and have a look at the work needing doing. You
can then receive your detailed estimate in paper format by post or in a PDF file by email.
( Q2 ) Do you do wallpapering ?
( A2 ) Yes, from lining paper to a patterned wallpaper from complete rooms or just a feature wall. I also
paper ceilings too.
( Q3 ) Do you do exterior painting ?
( A3 ) Yes, I paint front doors , garage doors, fascia boards, windows , cladding , render , pebble dash,
fences & iron railings. If unsure please just ask me.
( Q4 ) Can you paint kitchen cupboards & furniture?
( A4 ) I have done many kitchens and bespoke furniture in my time as a painter and decorator. Having
them painted can not only transform your old tired cupboards but can also save you thousands of
pounds by buying new one’s.
( Q5 ) How will you protect my property
( A5 ) I will always protect your home to a high standard. I will mask up all areas of flooring carpets ,
hardwood and tiles all furniture will be covered with water proof backed sheeting and non slip sheets
on your floors. plastic sheeting will be used on some areas but i am trying to reduce this due to land fill
waste. I am also covered by insurance for you peace of mind.
( Q6 ) I have a room 12ft x 12ft can you tell me how much it will cost without coming to see it
( A6 ) I am really sorry, It is impossible for me to give you a price without seeing the work which needs
doing. There are so many factors to look at, for example the condition of ceiling, walls & woodwork.
What colour is currently on the walls, what colour it’s changing to and how much furniture I may have
to work around. It only takes on average 10 to 15 minutes to look at a single job.
Due to (Covid-19) I am looking into the possibility of doing video chat estimates. Where you can show
me the work and give me measurements to give me a rough idea of price.
(Video call are by arranged times only)
( Q7 ) What makes of paint do you use?
( A7 ) I use paint from various different manufactures, the reason being. Each paint company has
products which others do not sell, or are far more superior. I only use quality trade paints from
reputable companies for example. Crown, Dulux, Johnstone’s & Benjamin Moore. As there is a large
difference in quality between retail and trade paints.
( Q8 ) Do you work by yourself? or do you have a team of painters and decorators?
( A8 ) I just work by myself, I think it makes it more of a personal service to you as a customer. So from
the initial contact via phone or email, the viewing of the work to be completed & throughout the
process you only deal with me.
( Q 9 ) Do you smoke ?
( A 9 ) I have never smoked
( Q10 ) I have some doors and a banister which has wood stain on, and I would like it painting
white? is this possible?
( A10 ) Yes this is possible with the correct preparation and special primers.
