Painters & decorators
London & Essex.

A bedroom refresh and a full interior repaint need different plans. For a single room, think about the ceiling, walls, door, frame, skirting and radiator as separate surfaces. For a house or flat, include hallways, stairs, landings and any small rooms that are easy to overlook. Tell us what should stay untouched as well as what you want painted.

A Decorators Today quoter comes to your property and walks through the work with you. Show us existing marks, old wallpaper and awkward corners, and explain whether the property will be empty or furnished. We use that visit to prepare your written scope and work price, with a separate rough materials budget. You review and accept the quote before we arrange the decorating.

Two quotes for the same property can include very different work. Check the preparation, surfaces, finishes and exclusions alongside the total. Wallpaper removal, extensive repairs, exterior access and changes of colour can all affect what needs doing. Ask for anything unclear to be explained before agreeing the project.

With Decorators Today, the work price and rough materials budget are separate. You pay for paint and materials, and the remaining work balance is paid directly to the painter. Keep your written quote handy so everyone can refer to the same agreed details if you decide to add another room or change a finish.

Send the property postcode, a short description and your preferred timing when you enquire. Photographs help show the overall rooms as well as details such as damaged surfaces or woodwork. Include parking restrictions, stairs and access arrangements so the office can plan the visit sensibly.

We are based in Barking and cover the whole of London and Essex. Your postcode helps the office arrange a visit and check available dates. If you have a moving date or another trade booked, mention it early; a preferred date still needs to be confirmed with the office.
