How pricing works in College.
Your quote in College is built from the job itself, not a rate card. Three things drive 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.
A fixed price for your College project from a few photos.
Snap the rooms, tell us what you want — your written quote usually lands the same day.

What decorating really costs in College — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guideHouse Painting in College — FAQs.
How long does it take to paint a whole house?
A typical 3-bed house interior takes 1–2 weeks depending on condition and how much woodwork is included; exteriors add a few days in the right weather. Your quote includes a clear schedule.
Is it cheaper to paint before moving in?
Yes, noticeably — empty rooms need no furniture handling and dry faster with windows open, so the same house takes fewer days. If you can give us the keys between exchange and move-in, that's the sweet spot.
Can you help choose colours for the whole house?
Yes — free colour advice comes with every quote. We'll help you build a palette that flows room to room and suits the light each room gets.
Do you cover College?
Yes — our local decorators cover College (SE21) and the surrounding area, including Dulwich, West Dulwich, Gipsy Hill, Dulwich Village. Same-week slots are often available.
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.
Which parts of College do you cover?
All of it — College (SE21) is fully inside our patch, along with Dulwich, West Dulwich, Gipsy Hill, Dulwich Village. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
