Questions to ask a London painter and decorator

Picking the right painter and decorator in London goes beyond just a coat of paint: it's about finding someone who understands your vision for your home. Here are some questions you can ask before hiring:

Can you share photos or examples of your recent work?

Before-and-after images give you a sense of their style, attention to detail, and how they approach surfaces or colours. Many painters and decorators feature their work on MyBuilder, so it’s easy to browse through and see what inspires you.

What types of paint and materials do you recommend, and why?

Painters and decorators can guide you on durable, eco-friendly or low-VOC paints suited to London's climate, explaining how they resist mould in humid areas or suit high-traffic rooms while matching your preferred style from matte finishes to bold metallics.

How do you prepare surfaces and deal with cracks or damp patches?

Proper prep makes all the difference. A good decorator will explain how they handle imperfections before painting to ensure your new finish lasts.

Are you familiar with local rules for decorating listed or conservation buildings in London?
