FAQs

What type of decorating do you do?

We offer a wide range of service from internal painting and wallpapering through to external overhauls. Take a look Our Work to see some examples of our recent projects.

What is your lead time?

This varies depending on the time of year and the type of projects that we’re working on at the time of your enquiry. Always let us know if you have any specific needs and we will do our best to work with you.

Do you take a deposit?

On acceptance of our quote, we’ll kindly ask for a deposit, totalling 30% of the overall cost. This is to be paid via BACS or cheque.

Do you do external decorating?

Absolutely! During the dry months our teams work hard to give the outside of industrial units, holiday cottages, office blocks and private dwellings the face lift they deserve. Enquire today for your free, no-obligation quote for all external decorating works.

Do you offer any other trade services?

We have a joiner inhouse, as well as excellent relationships with other local contractors like builders, roofers and scaffolders. Be in touch with your needs and we’ll point you in the right direction, or even help organise these trades for you.

Where does your paint come from?

We use a variety of suppliers, some local and some more nationally. We use a wide range of brands such as Farrow & Ball, Dulux, Little Green, Johnstone’s and many more. Most ‘high street branded paints’ can be mixed into a trade paint and we’re happy to discuss this with you.

I have seen a paint colour I like, can you get it for me?

We can certainly try. More often than not, we source the paint for our projects using our beneficial trade prices, so let us know what you’ve seen and we’ll do our best to help you.

What days do your decorators work?

We tend to work from Monday to Friday, but if you need us over a weekend or even through the night, we’d be happy to discuss your needs and offer some flexibility where possible.

Do you have an office?

Yes, we’re based in Grange-over-Sands and are open Monday to Friday. Feel free to pop by and see us soon.

Are you insured?

Yes, we have valid insurance as well as being accredited members of CHAS – an industry leading health and safety body.
