Rates and prices

As a professional decorator, I carry out my work to the highest possible standard at all times and as such my price reflects this. Unlike many of my counterparts, I do not charge VAT., and therefore you can be sure that my price is at least 17.5% cheaper!

I can price the work to be undertaken in 3 ways,

1.        On an hourly rate (upon request)

2.        A day rate, working on an 8 hour day basis.

3.         The entire job (most popular) 

The initial consultation with the customer and fully comprehensive quotation are free of charge. I do not make any alterations to the quotation charges once this has been prepared, unless instructions about the work alter before I commence.  Any changes in price will be notified orally, and in writing before starting.

 Payment of the final bill is due once all decorating work has been completed. Please note that no payments are needed before this point, unless the work is extensive and spans several weeks, and on these occasions I may ask for instalments, but this would be agreed in advance of the work commencing.

 After the colour has been chosen, the paint is purchased by me from a trade outlet which means I can pass on any savings I receive directly to you.  In addition to this, a reputable brand, i.e.., Dulux, crown etc can be purchased cheaper than in DIY stores.  However, should you wish me to complete the work with materials purchased already, I am happy to carry out this type of work on a labour only basis.
