What sets decorating prices in Hartley.
The Hartley homes we quote most range from tidy rentals that just need a refresh to characterful houses across M25 Fringe where the walls have stories to tell. That spread is exactly why a photo-based quote beats a price list — it prices your rooms, not an average.
Surface condition
What's under the brush decides most of the price. Nicotine stains, damp patches or badly stripped paper all mean extra sealing and filling before a single topcoat goes on.
Paint and spec
The finish you choose shifts the number: a straightforward emulsion refresh costs less than a bold colour change (which needs more coats) or a specialist wipeable paint for a busy kitchen or bathroom.
Access and protection
Tall stairwells, occupied rooms, furniture to move, floors to protect, parking and permits — the practical side of the job that careful decorators plan and cowboys ignore.
Size and surfaces
Total area drives the base, but the fiddly bits drive the hours — cutting in around coving, spindles and window bars is where a job's time really goes.
