What to Expect from a Professional Decorating Job

Introduction
Hiring a professional painter and decorator can feel like a leap of faith — especially if it's your first time. Will they turn up on time? Will the finish be perfect? Will your home be left clean? At Parfitt Painting Services, we understand these concerns and work hard to make the process smooth, respectful, and high quality from start to finish.

Here’s what you can expect when you hire our team.

1. Initial Contact & Quote

The first step is easy. You can contact us by phone, WhatsApp, email, or our website form. We’ll ask for some basic information — such as the type of space, surface condition, and your goals — and often can provide a ballpark quote right away. For larger or more detailed jobs, we’ll arrange a site visit.

2. Site Visit & Consultation

We’ll come out to assess the room(s), discuss your vision, and advise on colours, finishes, and product choices. We’ll also measure up and identify any prep work needed (like repairing cracks or removing wallpaper). A full, clear, no-obligation quote is then provided.

3. Preparing the Space

Preparation is the foundation of a professional finish. This step includes:

• Moving or covering furniture

• Masking edges and sockets

• Filling holes or sanding imperfections

• Cleaning surfaces so the paint adheres properly

We take great care to protect your floors, furniture, and fittings.

4. Painting & Decorating

This is where the transformation begins. We apply top-quality products using the best tools for each surface — from rollers on walls to brushes for detailed trims. Whether it’s matt emulsion for walls, satinwood for skirting boards, or specialist paint for bathrooms, we ensure even, long-lasting coverage.

We also:

• Use the correct number of coats

• Stick to drying times

• Maintain a clean and tidy workspace

5. Final Touches & Clean-Up

Once the painting is done, we:

• Remove tape cleanly for sharp edges

• Check over every detail

• Tidy the space, vacuum or sweep up, and put furniture back if agreed

• Walk through the finished job with you to ensure satisfaction

6. Aftercare & Follow-Up

We’re always happy to give aftercare advice — such as how long to wait before wiping the walls, or when it’s safe to hang pictures again. We also offer a workmanship guarantee for added peace of mind.

How to Prepare Your Home Before We Arrive

While we handle the big stuff, here are some tips to help everything go smoothly:

• Remove valuables or personal items

• Secure pets in another area

• Ensure access to water and plug sockets

• Let us know about parking or building access

✅ A properly prepped surface that makes paint last
