The Decorating Process
1. Site Assessment
Your decorator visits your property and looks at the surfaces in scope: interior rooms, exterior elevations, or both. Your decorator notes surface conditions, existing paint types, moisture issues, and any period features that need individual preparation. Visit length depends on the property, surfaces, access and scope.
2. Scope and Quotation
You receive a clear written quote covering each included room, surface and elevation. The quote sets out the agreed scope and price. Your decorator can also advise on coating choices for sandstone surfaces or period buildings.
3. Scheduled Work
Your decorator agrees the work sequence, access and protection arrangements for the included areas before starting.
4. Final Walkthrough
Your decorator walks the completed job with you before leaving. Any points raised at the walkthrough are discussed directly with your decorator.
Painting and Decorating Costs in Durham
Pricing is property-specific. Call 0191 743 9903 to arrange an assessment and written quotation.
Surface Condition
Surface condition affects preparation: cracks, stains, failed coatings and damaged woodwork are recorded against the relevant areas.
Scope of the Job
A single-room repaint and a full exterior or whole-house interior involve different scopes. Cost depends on the rooms, surfaces, elevations and preparation included.
Paint Choice
Paint choice depends on the identified substrate, existing coating and condition. Older masonry or plaster may need a vapour-permeable system, but the specification is confirmed for the individual surface.
What the Quotation Covers
- Ask your decorator to record the agreed areas, preparation, access and exclusions before work begins.

Common Problems Solved
The site visit establishes which rooms or exterior areas are included, their condition and the preparation needed. Those details are then recorded in the quotation.
Sandstone and Render Facades That Keep Failing
Repeated facade failure needs investigation of the substrate, moisture, defects and incompatible previous coatings before another system is proposed.
Period Interiors With Built-Up Paint
Preparation for period interiors with built-up paint depends on the existing coating and any defects found.
Damp-Affected Walls Near the River Wear
Moisture staining and its cause must be investigated before any preparation or coating is recommended.
Whole-House Projects That Stalled
Part-finished projects can be described in the brief and reviewed before a decorating scope is proposed.
Local Decorating Enquiries in Durham
The service covers decorating enquiries in Durham and surrounding areas. Availability and the exact work proposed are confirmed directly with your decorator.
