WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN COMPARING ESTIMATES Always compare like-for-like quotes with the exact specification of work to be undertaken, also the materials and manufacturers to be used. Cheaper materials can be very tempting but are often a false economy needing extra coats/more working time and are more than often of lesser quality and durability, in the long run you'll end up paying for the work to be repeated sooner. I'M UNSURE ON COLOURS, DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE Use swatches to narrow down choices but don't rely on them for the final decision. Use test pots on a piece of lining paper stuck to the wall in several places around the room, and view them over a period of days in different lighting conditions. We can supply and apply samples prior to commencement of accepted works, we also provide a color scheme service whereby color combinations are provided depending on your preference to shades, tones or even holidays. I HAVE SOME EXTERIOR WORK, WHEN CAN YOU FIT ME IN It is not ideal to begin exterior decoration during Autumn/Winter months, drying time and finishes are affected due to weather conditions and cold temperatures, also moisture content in timber and other substrates severely affect a coatings performance. Products are available for out of season decoration but these are far from ideal. We are however happy to provide a quote for work to be completed the following Spring/Summer.
