How pricing works in St. James.
No price lists that pad the worst case — your St. James project gets its own honest, fixed, written quote. These are the factors that set it:
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.
Decorators in St. James you can actually rely on.

How we protect your home.
- Dust sheets everywhere — Floors, stairs and furniture fully covered before a single tin is opened.

Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your St. James project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.
