Examples to help you write your own post — not past jobs or promises of availability.
Access and logistics to mention
- For outside work, does the front open straight onto the pavement, and will access equipment be needed?
- Check the council's parking information for your street so the van can stop.
- Which rooms can be emptied, and which will stay furnished?
Check your address: Conservation areas and listed buildings (Watford Borough Council) · Parking (Watford Borough Council) · Watford Borough Council
Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- Wallpaper stripping can reveal damaged plaster; agree in advance how repairs will be priced.
- Exterior work depends on dry weather; agree how delays are handled.
Comparing quotes
- How many coats are quoted, and is a mist coat on new plaster included?
- Is surface preparation (filling, sanding, caulking) itemised?
- For outside work, who arranges access equipment and what happens on rain days?
What to include in your job post
- Rooms or elevations, and whether it is walls, ceilings, woodwork, or all three.
- Who supplies paint, and the brand or colour if already chosen.
- The state of surfaces: filler needed, peeling paint, stains, previous wallpaper.
- Furniture that will stay in the room, and any height or access limits.
