Interior Decorator Needed

Post by claret wizard » Sun Aug 16, 2020 12:04 pm

Looking for recommendations for a decorator based in Burnley. Gloss work and Papering on a couple of walls. Room can be isolated with it’s own external door so social distancing is ok. Ideally someone free in the next couple of weeks.

Not sure you’ll get it done for free but who knows.

I was recommended Dave Benson a year ago. He twice promised to come and take a look. I’m still waiting and still need the work doing.

Two calls and two broken promises is plenty.

Time to look elsewhere I fancy. :roll:

I know this isn't a helpful reply but most decorators are booked up until at least November. If the op gets one who is available in 2 weeks then you should be asking why?

No, he (or she) isn't going to say that. But the fact that they are sat there waiting for the phone to ring to know where they are working the week after next does.

Not exactly a top notch decorater needed for glossing and papering a couple of walls?

A cheaper handyman would be fine.

Why not try Safetrader.org.uk. ?
It's run by Lancashire County Council and designed to drive up standards in domestic repair and maintenance services and give confidence to consumers when they're looking for someone to undertake works to their house.
That said, I'm struggling to get anyone to regrout some tiling/ replace bath sealant in a quality bathroom spruce up so if there's anyone in the Accrington area who can do a competent job I'd be interested in hearing from them!

If you don't have a go yourself you'll never learn how to decorate. Many wallpapers can now be applied by just pasting the wall - what could be easier?
