Painting & decorating questions

Do you supply the paint?+

Either way. I'm happy to buy trade paint and add it at cost, or work with whatever you've already chosen.

How long does a room take?+

A standard London bedroom with normal prep is usually one day. Hallways with stairwells and heavy filling often run to two.

Do you move furniture?+

Yes — furniture is moved to the middle, covered and put back at the end. Wardrobes can be dismantled if they're in the way.
