Chorlton decorating guide

Terraces, entrance doors and garden flats

Plan the route through the property before decorating a hallway or staircase. In rooms that lead directly to a garden, include door frames and areas exposed to regular wear in your preparation list.

Colours and finishes

For an entrance door, compare the colour with the surrounding brickwork and existing hardware. Ask for the door material and condition to be assessed before the coating system is selected.

Before requesting a price

Send your full postcode, photographs, approximate dimensions and your preferred dates. Explain any access restrictions and whether furniture needs to stay in place. Ask for preparation, materials and the surfaces included to be set out in the written quotation.

For properties with special restrictions, confirm any relevant requirements before changing the exterior or original features.
