Send a few photos on WhatsApp and you'll usually have your fixed Charminster quote the same day.
What sets decorating prices in Charminster.
Decorating in Charminster isn't priced by postcode — it's priced by the job. A two-bed flat near Dorchester, Winterbourne Abbas, Puddletown, Cerne Abbas and a period terrace a few streets away can differ enormously once prep, woodwork and access come into it, so we quote each on its own merits.
Size and surfaces
It's not just how many rooms, but how much surface: a room full of doors, frames and detailed skirting takes far longer than four plain walls of the same size.
Surface condition
Fresh plaster, hairline cracks, flaking paint, old wallpaper — the state of what we're painting over sets the prep hours, and prep is the biggest hidden variable in any decorating price.
Paint and spec
Paint choice matters more than people think — going dark over light, matching a heritage shade, or speccing a durable finish for a hallway all change how many coats and how much material a room takes.
Access and protection
The logistics count: a lived-in home with furniture to shift and floors to sheet takes longer than an empty property, and stairwells or high ceilings mean proper access gear.

Decorating prices in Charminster — FAQs.
Why don't you publish a price list for Charminster?
Because surface condition and spec change the price more than room size does. A list either overcharges easy jobs or undercharges hard ones — a fixed quote from photos is fairer both ways.
Does the quote include paint?
Yes by default — quality trade paint in your colours is itemised in the quote. Prefer to supply your own? We'll quote labour-only and tell you exactly how much paint to buy.
Can you match another decorator's quote for my Charminster job?
We won't play race-to-the-bottom, but we'll gladly show you line by line what our Charminster quote includes — prep, coats and materials — so you can see whether a cheaper number is really like for like.
How soon can you start once I accept the quote?
Single rooms in Charminster can often begin within the week; whole-property jobs are typically booked one to three weeks ahead. Your quote comes with realistic dates, not empty promises.
