Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.
Condition & prep
Cracks, old wallpaper, flaking paint or bare plaster — honest prep needs, priced up front.
Paint & access
Trade paint choice (or supply your own), and anything needing ladders, towers or scaffold.
How we protect your home.
- Dust sheets everywhere — Floors, stairs and furniture fully covered before a single tin is opened.
- Masking and shielding — Sockets, switches, glass, hinges and hardware taped and protected.
- Furniture handled with care — Moved, centred and covered — and put back exactly where it was.

What decorating really costs in College — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guideDecorators in College — FAQs.
How much do decorators charge?
Every room is different — size, condition and how much finishing work is involved. Send photos and a rough idea of what you want on WhatsApp and we'll come back with a free fixed quote.
What's the difference between a painter and a decorator?
A painter applies the paint; a decorator plans and finishes the whole room — colour scheme, wallpaper, mouldings and the small details that make it look professionally done. We offer both, so you get one team for the complete job.
Do decorators also hang wallpaper?
Yes — feature walls, whole rooms or a full strip-and-repaint, whichever suits the space. Send photos on WhatsApp and we'll advise the best approach along with a free fixed quote.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in College?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for College businesses and busy households alike.
Do you supply materials for College jobs?
Either way works: we supply quality trade paint as part of your quote, or you buy your own and we'll tell you exactly how much you need using our paint calculator.
How soon can you start in College?
Smaller College jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
