How to get a good estimate for a room

When it comes to getting a good price to paint a room, the best advice is to shop around.  By getting more than just one or two quotes you’ll start to build a picture as to the average price in your area.  This will allow you to ensure that you’re not paying over the odds for the work that you need to be done.

It’s also best practice to make sure that your estimates show detailed costs for what the individual traders believe will be needed for the work.  You can then compare costs such as labour, materials and equipment or tools that’ll be required and learn more about how the different painters and decorators will approach the work that you want to be completed.

How does a Painter and Decorator work?

Painters and decorators ultimate goal for every job is to ensure that the room or area that they’re working on meets the expected standards of their customer.  Whether that’s bringing an old and tired room back to life or completely turning a room from one look into another, painters and decorators will need to expertly use a variety of materials and exquisite attention-to-detail in order to achieve this.

Traders will often start their work by preparing a safe environment to work in and ensure that stray paint or materials won’t damage items like furniture, windows or ceilings.  Once completed, a good painter and decorator will then smooth down surfaces and prepare them for painting or wallpapering.

If exterior painting is required, then additional equipment like scaffolding or special weather-resistant paint is likely to be needed and as a result, may considerably increase the overall cost.
