Five steps from quote to handover

We write the price first, then we paint. We tell you up front what happens at each step and what we need from you.

  1. Step 1 of 5: Quote

    Two minutes

    You choose the service, your home and rooms, extras and colour. The estimate appears with every included layer and is saved in this browser.

  2. Step 2 of 5: Visit

    Free, about 30 minutes

    A painter comes in the two-hour window you choose, measures the walls, checks for damp and cracks, and we try the colour together.

  3. Step 3 of 5: Written price

    On the day of the visit

    The range becomes a single price, given in writing. Any extra work needed, such as damp, is written on a separate line with the reason.

  4. Step 4 of 5: Working days

    Three working days for a 3+1

    We arrive at 09:00 every morning and leave at 18:00. In the evening the home stays liveable.

  5. Step 5 of 5: Handover walk-through

    Last day

    We walk through the rooms together. Any touch-up you spot is done that day; leftover paint is labelled and left with you.

Inside the three working days

Sample plan for a 3+1 flat. Rooms are painted in turn; every evening one room is ready to use.

  1. Day 1: Protection and repairs

    Furniture is moved to the middle and covered, floors are papered, frames are taped. Cracks and holes are filled with plaster and filler.

    • Tape
    • Plaster, filler
  2. Day 2: Sanding, primer, first coat

    Filled surfaces are sanded and dusted. Primer makes the paint grip the wall; the first coat goes on in the afternoon.

    • Sanding
    • Primer
    • 1st coat
  3. Day 3: Final coat and handover

    Second coat, touch-ups, tape removed, sockets refitted. After a basic clean we walk through the rooms together.

    • 2nd coat
    • Cleaning

Timings are examples; the final plan is given in writing at the visit.

While we work in your home

Work out your price
Same time every day
09:00–18:00. If we are running late, we call half an hour ahead.
Little smell
We use water-based paint and primer; with the windows open, the smell is gone within a day.
Dust dealt with on the spot
Wiped with a damp cloth after sanding; floors swept every evening.
Keys stay with you
You don’t need to be home; we collect the keys in the morning and return them in the evening.
