All quotations clearly outline the agreed scope of work and associated costs.

Any additional or variation work must be agreed in advance and may incur additional charges.

Preparation & Workmanship

All work includes thorough preparation, including filling, sanding, priming, and finishing using professional trade materials.

Work is carried out to a high standard, taking into account the condition and age of existing surfaces.

Due to the nature of decorating, minor imperfections may remain visible depending on surface condition, lighting, and previous coatings.

Materials

Professional trade materials are used unless otherwise specified.

Where materials are supplied by the client, we cannot guarantee the finish or durability.

Unforeseen Work & Surface Conditions

Quotations are based on visible conditions at the time of inspection.

If additional preparation or defects become apparent during the project, this will be discussed and agreed before proceeding.

Unless otherwise agreed:

  • Payment is due upon completion of the work 
  • Deposits or staged payments may be required for larger projects 

We reserve the right to suspend work if payment terms are not met.
