Paint Costs

The cost of the paint, and or any testers to keep, is not included.

The premium paint brands that I work with offer preferential finishes with lower VOC’s. Some decorators have specific brands that they do and don’t like to work with and I can take this in to account where needed.

Costs range from around £60 for a 2.5 litre pot (enough for a compact room) and a £100-£130 for a 5 litre pot (enough for an average master bedroom). A kitchen/diner or hallway may require 2 or more 5 litre pots.

Some paint brands are mail order only (and can usually do next day delivery).

Please note that many paint brands do not offer returns or refunds unless faulty, so it is important to specify the correct paint and finish when ordering.

The Small Print

Once the booking is confirmed, I will send a short questionnaire to fill out and return at least 48 hours before your confirmed appointment.

The client will be charged for the pre-agreed amount of time, at the end of the appointment.

I do not provide paint samples to keep. I do bring paper samples with me for you to see in situ.

On completion of the appointment, I will leave you with a written card with the paint colour choices and paint finishes on it, to keep. For more than one room, I will also follow up with an email confirmation of colours and finishes.

I am not affiliated to any paint brands. I aim to give guidance on best suited paint colours, paint finishes and amounts required.

All discussions on proposed paint colours should be discussed in the appointment so it can be illustrated in situ. 

Buying a tester pot of the proposed colours, after the appointment and before painting, is advised but not obligatory and not included in the price of the consultation.

Quantities of paint are speculative and no liability is taken for this. Amounts should be checked with any decorator.

All responsibility for the purchase of paint colour, finish and amount, as well as choice of decorator, is taken by the homeowner.

All cancellations must be made 48 hours before, where possible.

In  the event that I have to cancel an appointment and all efforts will be made to rearrange another future appointment.

I do not offer any discounts on paint products.

I do not offer compensation for choices of paint colours.

No liability is taken for delays with decorators or contractors in paint orders and or additional man hours needed for paint / finish choices. Concerns and issues where this could be the case can be discussed in consultation.
