Do I need to pay up front?

For Commercial customers, payment terms and applications are usually set out in Contracts. For private customers we do not require any payment until the work is completed. For building works, even for private customers we may require interim payments at specified times during the works. If that is the case then we will discuss this at length with you prior to the works beginning so that you are clear about what is expected.

What is the smallest work you carry out?

We like to take care of all of our customers large and small. There is a limit however to some very small decorations. For example. A customer called recently to ask for a price to hang a small amount of wall paper in her home. The work would have only taken a couple of hours for perhaps a self employed decorator but we can only price for a minimum of 1 decorator for 1 day. That would be the minimum amount of work we would be able to undertake. Anything smaller would make the work un economic for us to complete.

What kind of work do you do?
