The Decorating Process
1. Site Assessment
Your decorator visits your property and looks at every surface in scope: interior rooms, exterior elevations, or both. Your decorator notes surface conditions, existing paint types, and any period features that need individual preparation.
2. Written Quote
The written quotation lists the included surfaces, preparation, selected finish, pricing terms and exclusions.
3. Scheduled Work
Proposed dates, room order, protection and end-of-day access are discussed after the scope and drying requirements are known.
4. Final Walkthrough
Before your decorator leaves, your decorator walks the completed job with you. Inspection, snagging, and handover arrangements are agreed directly with your decorator.

Surface Condition
Existing coatings, cracks and absorbency are checked before the preparation and finish system are recorded.
Scope of the Job

Common Painting Problems
The finish should be chosen for the material and the way the surface will be used.
Old Paint Layers Clogging Coving
Accumulated paint layers can obscure coving and cornice profiles. Your decorator strips back carefully where needed, repairs surface damage, and restores the detail so it reads cleanly again rather than sitting another layer deeper.
Exterior Render Cracking
Ask about any curing or ventilation requirements before the work is arranged.
Redecorating an Occupied Home
Clearing a full home before decorators arrive is not realistic for most families. Your decorator works room by room, moving and protecting furniture as your decorator goes, with end-of-day access arrangements agreed in advance.
Matching New to Existing Work
Kitchens extended into outbuildings, side-return extensions, and knocked-through living areas all present the same challenge: the new finish needs to sit beside the existing work without looking like an afterthought. Your decorator records the agreed colours, sheen levels, and finishes for the space.
Decorating Across Darlington
If damage is found, decide with the decorator whether it belongs in the decorating work.
