Painters & Decorators

This depends on the scale of the project and the amount of rooms you need us to paint. Once we have conducted a free site survey, and if you agree to our quote, we will provide you with a start and finish time for you to plan around.

Prima Décor also offer commercial spray painting services for business premises. This may not be suitable for all situations, but where appropriate we can advise on its use to ensure a better finish.

We have public liability insurance up to the value of £2 million. This means you have greater protection in the unlikely event of anything going wrong on site.

Common mistakes include papering over wallpaper without preparation, causing bubbling and peeling. Poor pattern matching creates unsightly joins, whilst incorrect adhesive mixing leads to lifting edges. Not measuring accurately wastes materials. At Prima Decor, our wallpaper decorator team avoids these pitfalls through meticulous preparation.

Yes, priming is essential for optimal results. Primer creates a uniform surface helping wallpaper adhesive bond properly whilst preventing moisture absorption. This is crucial when papering over wallpaper isn't recommended. At Prima Decor, our professional wallpapering services always include proper preparation and priming. Our wallpaper decorator experts never skip this step, ensuring your wallpaper lasts for years.

Steaming generally proves more effective for stubborn wallpaper, penetrating multiple layers quickly. Wetting works well for single-layer, traditional paste-based papers. At Prima Decor, our wallpaper decorator experts assess your wallpaper before choosing the optimal method. Our wallpapering company London uses professional steamers working faster than DIY methods, preparing surfaces properly for wallpaper installation London.

The quickest method combines proper tools with professional technique. Score the surface, apply stripping solution, wait 10-15 minutes, then scrape. At Prima Decor, our professional wallpapering services use commercial steamers accelerating the process. We strongly advise against papering over wallpaper. Our wallpaper decorator team completes rooms efficiently, transforming endless tasks into professional work.

Measure room perimeter and multiply by ceiling height, divide by coverage per roll, add 10% for wastage. Prima Decor's wallpaper decorator experts provide free, accurate measurements.

Wallpaper prices vary enormously—designer papers cost £30-£150+ per square metre, budget options £5-£15. Prima Decor's wallpaper installation London ensures beautiful, long-lasting results regardless of choice.

Yes, professional decorators remove old wallpaper. Prima Decor's wallpaper decorator team strips existing paper and prepares surfaces properly. We don't recommend papering over wallpaper for flawless results.

This depends on the size of the job and the specifics of the project. It is something we can discuss from an early stage and we will also provide a comprehensive free quote that will itemise every cost so you can manage your budgets.

We can work to any time that suits your business, which includes out of hours/weekends. If our service will cause too much disruption during opening hours, let us know and we’ll organise a schedule that works best for you.

Our team are experienced at hanging a wide range of premium wallpaper types in domestic (*link) and commercial spaces, including wallpaper hand prints, wall coverings, fabrics, metallic wallpapers, silks, flocks and foils and more.

Spray painting requires a lot of control and in some cases may be best suited for external areas or larger commercial spaces (*link). This is something we will discuss with your before the project starts, as the cleanliness and safety of your home is always our number one priority.

This will depend on the overall size of the project as spray painting is much faster and allows you to meet a shorter deadline, while manual methods can take longer to complete. Our free quote will list all of the costs involved in the project and we can also offer a comparison between spray and manual painting if required.

We use Dulux and Johnstone interior paints that are all water-based and have low VOC ratings (Volatile Organic Compounds). This means toxicity is minimised and indoor air quality is improved while also reducing harm to the environment.

We will base our quote on the individual requirements of the job, which will be assessed during our free site survey. Once we provide a fixed quote itemising all of the associated costs this will not be altered with any add-on charges or fees.

If you are working to a specific deadline you should let us know as soon as possible so we factor this into our initial assessment. In most cases we will be able to meet your deadline, but this does depend on the scale of the project and other factors. Once we agree an end date we never miss it.

As standard we offer colour samples to all our clients, whether working on a domestic (*link) or commercial project. This will give you a representative idea of how the finished surface will look once sprayed so you can ensure it matches your expectations.

We offer two types of exterior wall coating for domestic and commercial properties. The first is coloured spray that can be used on any type of exterior surface. Alternatively, for unpainted brick and stone walls we also offer transparent spray painting coatings.

As an established and professional decorating company, all jobs are carried out by members of the Prima Décor team and not sub-contracted out to external decorators. It is why we are able to guarantee the same high standard of work for every customer we work with.

Generally speaking, you do not need to request planning permission to paint the outside of your home. If you live in a listed building you may need listed-building consent if the painting affects the character of the property. If you are unsure, this can always be verified with your local authority.

We will provide a detailed free quote based on the scale of the job needed for the building. This will depend on the size of the property and any special requirements that may have to be accounted for. We can discuss your budget and answer any questions related to the quote at any time.

Depending on the location of the building and health and safety considerations we can assess whether spray painting or traditional methods are more suitable. Time constraints and cost will also influence which one is best for the job.

We offer a 12-month defect warranty with our exterior painting service. This applies to workmanship only, and does not over colour fading, weather damage, accidental damage, or wear and tear.
