What sets decorating prices in Shaftesbury.
A lot of what shapes a Shaftesbury price is invisible until you look closely: the condition under the old paint, whether ceilings have been over-artexed, how many coats a deep colour change really needs. We read those from your photos so the number we give you holds.
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
Working around your life adds time — masking, sheeting, moving and covering furniture, and keeping rooms usable each evening — and so does anything that needs towers or ladders to reach safely.

Decorating prices in Shaftesbury — FAQs.
Why don't you publish a price list for Shaftesbury?
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.
How soon can you start once I accept the quote?
Single rooms in Shaftesbury 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.
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.
Do you need to visit before quoting in Shaftesbury?
Usually not. Clear photos and rough measurements are enough for a firm written quote for most Shaftesbury jobs; for larger or trickier properties we'll arrange a quick free visit.
