What you’ll get back

Every quote splits into seven lines.

The 7-line quote
  1. 1 Wash + clean. Sugar-soap removes oils and residue — without it, paint lifts.
  2. 2 Sanding + filling. Nail holes, cracks, surface roughness. Finish quality lives here.
  3. 3 Masking + drop sheets. Floors, fixtures, edges. Skip it and you pay in cleanup.
  4. 4 Primer (surface-specific). New plaster, old enamel and steel each need a different primer.
  5. 5 Number of coats. Two is standard. One means you’ll see the old colour through it.
  6. 6 Paint brand + product. Named on the quote — Dulux Wash & Wear, not “trade white”.
  7. 7 Cut-in + edges. Ceilings, skirting, architraves — visible for the next 10 years.
If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it — and you don’t know what’s been cut.
Before you book

The practical questions, answered.

Not the price — that’s on the quote. These are the things homeowners actually ask before they let a crew in.

Do I need to be home while you paint? +
No. Most clients give us access and carry on with their day. We agree a key or lockbox arrangement at the walkthrough, lock up every evening, and send a quick photo at the end of each day if you’re away. The only time we genuinely need you is a five-minute colour sign-off before the first coat.
Can I speak to your recent clients before I commit? +
Yes. We’ll give you two or three recent jobs near you to call, plus addresses you can drive past. A weathered exterior twelve months on tells you more than any review screenshot, so we’d rather you saw the real thing.
How do you protect my floors and furniture? +
Everything that stays gets covered: drop sheets on floors, plastic over furniture, masking on trims, glass and hardware. Protection and clean-up is its own line on the quote, so you can see it was priced in, not just promised on the day.
What deposit do you take, and how do payments work? +
No big upfront deposit, and never a cash-only handshake. A modest deposit locks your dates, then payments are tied to stages of the work, with the balance due only after you’ve walked the finished job with us. Every figure sits on the quote, in writing.
What equipment do you use for two-storey or hard-to-reach areas? +
Scaffold or an elevated platform where the height or surface calls for it, and ladders only where they’re genuinely safe. Access goes on its own line, because “we’ll sort the ladders” is exactly how a cheap quote hides a real cost — and shifts the risk to you.
