Painters & Decorators in Aylesbury

Services painters and decorators cover

Most decorators in the Aylesbury area handle both interior and exterior work. Typical jobs include painting walls and ceilings, glossing skirting, doors and window frames, hanging wallpaper and preparing surfaces by filling, sanding and priming. Many also fit or repaint dado rails and picture rails, and apply masonry or render coatings to exterior walls. Some offer spray finishing for kitchens and woodwork, plus minor plaster repairs and anti-mould treatment to walls and ceilings before painting. Where a job needs new plasterboard or structural work first, you may also want a builder or a carpenter or joiner to handle the carpentry and making good.

What decorators typically charge

Pricing is usually based on the size of the room, the condition of the surfaces and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, decorators often quote per room or per day, and exterior paintwork is typically priced by the job after a site visit. Extra preparation, such as stripping old wallpaper, treating mould or repairing damaged plaster, often adds to the cost. Asking for an itemised written quote makes it easier to compare like for like, and most will assess the work in person before confirming a price.
