Painting and Decorating – what to ask your contractor

Looking for a painter and decorator in Poole or the surrounding areas? Our experienced team share the key questions you need to ask to make the right choice. 

Choosing the painter and decorator for your project is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. This is because they will be the ones to provide the finishing touch to your hard work, determining how well your project is received. In order to make the right decision, you need to be sure you’re making the right choice so we’ve compiled a list of questions you need to ask your painter or decorator to help. 

Question 1) What services do you provide?

We’ll start with the basics; asking what services your decorator is able to provide. Understanding the range of services and skills on offer will ensure your painter and decorator will be able to translate your vision into reality. At Bell’s Decor, our talented team is experienced and fully trained in a wide range of decorating techniques, including painting, spraying, applying wall coverings and even restoring old buildings. 

Question 2) How will you ensure you meet the deadline?

Projects are often up against tight deadlines so you need to be sure you can trust your decorators to finish their part on time. One of the ways we manage to continually meet even the tightest of deadlines is by using the latest spraying technology. These innovative machines allow our trained operatives to quickly paint or plaster a room without compromising on the quality of the finish. We can also work around the clock to get the job done on time, every time. 

Question 3) What projects have you worked on in the past? 

Before you trust a painter and decorator for your project, ask them what types of projects they have completed in the past to give you peace of mind that they can deliver on what they promise. A team who has experience on a range of projects demonstrates they have the skill, high quality finish and excellent customer service to attract multiple jobs. You can view a selection of our past projects with on our case study page. 

Question 4) What painting and decorating materials do you use?

Your project deserves the best, so you’ll want to make sure your painter and decorator uses only the very best materials, from paints to wallpapers to sealants and fillers. At Bell’s, we use the highest quality, industry approved products and materials as they complement our high level of workmanship and skill perfectly.
