A professional painter and decorator transforms a home faster than almost any other trade — but the difference between an average finish and an excellent one lies in the preparation you never see: filling, sanding, caulking and priming. HireTrades connects you with local painters and decorators whose past work and customer reviews you can inspect before inviting anyone to quote.
When comparing decorators, ask exactly what preparation is included: a proper quote will specify washing down, filling cracks, sanding and the number of coats. For exterior work, ask about weather contingency and how surfaces will be protected. Wallpapering is a distinct skill — if your job involves pattern-matching or lining paper, confirm the decorator does this regularly. Ask which paint brands they price for; trade-quality paint covers better and lasts longer than budget ranges, and a good decorator will tell you where it is worth spending.
Painter and decorator day rates in the UK are typically £150–£250. Painting a standard room (walls, ceiling, woodwork) costs £250–£500, a full interior repaint of a three-bedroom house £1,800–£3,500, and exterior painting of a semi-detached house £1,500–£3,500 depending on access and condition. Wallpapering usually costs £150–£280 per room plus paper. Expect prices in London and the South East to sit at the top of these ranges.
