What sets decorating prices in Tanfield.
Access matters more in Tanfield than people think: parking, permits and how far materials travel from van to wall all affect time on site. Working across North East and Burnopfield, Stanley, Rowlands Gill, Annfield Plain daily means we know the practicalities of your street and build them into the quote rather than springing them on you later.
Surface condition
Sound walls need little more than a wash and fill; walls with blown plaster, peeling paint or stubborn paper need real prep first — and that prep is what separates an honest quote from a cheap one.
Paint and spec
Trade matt on walls is the baseline; scrubbable, moisture-resistant or heritage paints, deep colour changes and extra coats sit above it. We spec what the room needs and say why.
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.
