Getting better local quotes

  • A clear description of the work needed
  • Photos or video of the area where possible
  • Rough measurements or sizes
  • Your preferred timescale and any access notes
  • A budget range if you have one in mind

Local quote considerations

  • Tell painters and decorators specialists about parking, access, working hours and any difficult loading areas.
  • Include property type, rough measurements and whether materials have already been chosen.
  • For older properties, mention any known damp, wiring, pipework, roof or structural issues.
  • Ask whether travel, waste, parking and VAT are included before accepting a quote.

Typical timescales

  • Small jobs may be completed in one visit if materials and access are straightforward.
  • Larger projects often need a site visit, written quote and scheduled start date.
  • Urgent jobs cost more when they require evening, weekend or short-notice availability.
