This address previously held a 2017 post about recommendations in the property industry. For a current decorating decision, the useful starting points are the work, the scope of the quotation and feedback from previous customers.

Look at relevant examples

A gallery can help you understand the type of work a decorator undertakes. Look for examples related to your project, such as exterior paintwork, patterned wallpaper or interior finishing.

Read feedback with its date

Reviews are one part of the picture. Check what the customer is describing and when it was published. Our review page keeps the original dates and labels any summaries.

Discuss your own requirements

Share the condition of the surfaces, access arrangements and your preferred finish. A clear conversation helps establish what the quotation includes and what happens next.
