    Hiring a Painter & Decorator

    When searching for a trusted local painter and decorator, it’s worth investigating whether they have any qualifications or accreditations. Check if they have a diploma in painting and decorating at an intermediate (Level 2) or higher level diploma (Level 3).

    However, you don’t need to qualify to become a painter and decorator, and they may have completed an apprenticeship instead.

    Highly rated and professional painters and decorators may also be part of accreditation, such as the Painting & Decorating Association or Dulux Select Decorators.

    It might also be worth checking whether they have a CSCS card, which means they can work on building sites.

    Painter and Decorator FAQs
    What Does a Painter and Decorator Do?

    The main responsibilities of a painter and decorator are to apply different types of paints to walls and furniture and ensure the textures of surfaces are perfect for painting.

    Hanging and removing wallpaper and applying different finishes such as stains, glosses, marbling or glazing is also part of their job description.

    What's the Difference Between a Painter and a Decorator?

    A decorator deals with an area's overall design and aesthetics. Whereas a painter focuses on the painting of interiors and exteriors. But one person can train in both at the same time.

    Will a Painter and Decorator Fill in Holes?

    Yes. A painter and decorator will fill in any cracks and holes in a wall before painting. They will ensure the surface is in perfect condition before beginning anything.

    What is the Decorator Daily Rate?

    The daily rate for a decorator ranges from £200-£250 in the north west of England, up to £300-£350 in London and the south west.

    What is Cutting in Painting?

    The term ‘cutting in’ is used in painting around tight spots such as the edge between walls, the ceiling, around corners, windows and door frames, and skirting boards.

    You can use a special cutter brush instead of a roller to get the perfect finish.

    How Much is Painting a Room?

    If you'd like to find out how much painting a room will cost, check out our cost guide here.

    What Type of Painter and Decorator Insurance Should I Check For?

    Any professional painter and decorator should have public liability insurance, which protects both you and the contractor from damage or injury during the job.

    Is It Worth Hiring a Painter and Decorator or Doing DIY?

    You may want to paint your property yourself, but hiring a painter and decorator is worth it if you want a professional finish. Professional painters and decorators will work quickly and efficiently, too.
