Frequently Asked Questions
Why are painting quotations different for similar flats? | Wall condition, actual area, ceiling height, colours, repairs, protection and included items may differ even within the same flat type. |
Can I receive a quote from photos? | Photos and dimensions can support an initial estimate, but some scopes require a site assessment before a firm quotation. |
What should a painting package state? | It should identify surfaces, preparation, products, coats, colours, protection, exclusions, timing and clean-up. |
Do dark-to-light colour changes cost more? | They can require additional preparation, primer or coats, depending on the colours and product system. |
Are doors, gates and ceilings automatically included? | Not necessarily. These should be listed explicitly so every quotation is compared on the same basis. |
