What's different at our end

  • House left clean at the end of every day.
  • A named decorator and a start date in writing.
  • Kept informed throughout. No chasing.
  • Not finished until you're happy.

01 / service

When you want it done properly, not just done.

  • You want a finish that lasts, not a quick coat over old paint.
  • You'd rather a reliable team than the cheapest price and a no show.
  • It's a single room, exterior masonry, render and woodwork, or a full redecoration inside and out.
  • The house is exposed to weather or coastal salt air and needs exterior coatings that can cope with it.
  • You want a clear written quote agreed before anyone starts.

02 / why it matters

What usually goes wrong with home decorating.

Most complaints about decorators aren't about the colour. They're about the mess, the no shows and the bill at the end.

01

The mess

Furniture moved and covered, floors dust sheeted, edges cut in clean. The room is left tidy at the end of every day.

02

No shows & overruns

We agree a start and a realistic finish, and we turn up. If something changes, you hear it from us first.

03

Vague pricing

Written quote agreed before we start. Any extra work along the way is priced and confirmed with you first. Nothing on the invoice surprises you.

04

A finish that fails

Fill, sand, prime. Proper prep is most of the job. It's why the finish still looks right years later.

03 / process

Tidy from day one to handover.

01

Visit & quote

We come and look at the actual job, talk through colours and finish, and send a clear written quote. No obligation.

02

Plan the dates

We agree a start and finish that suits you, and how we'll work around the household while we're in.

03

Prep

Furniture protected, floors covered, surfaces filled, sanded and primed. The bit that makes the finish last.

04

Decorate

Cut in clean, even coats, the right paint for each surface. Tidied down at the end of every day.

05

Hand back

A walk round with you, any touch ups done there and then, and the place left clean.

Frequently asked

Answers before the survey, not after the quote.

Do you give free quotes?
Yes. We visit, look at the actual job and send a clear written quote with no obligation, not a guess over the phone.
Will you move and cover our furniture?
Yes. We move what's needed, cover everything with dust sheets, and protect floors before any prep starts.
How long will my job take?
It depends on the rooms and the prep, but we give you a realistic start and finish date in the quote and stick to it.
Do you do outside as well as inside?
Yes, interior and exterior. On the coast we choose exterior coatings that cope with salt air and weather.
What exterior work do you take on?
Exterior masonry and render, plus exterior woodwork such as fascias, soffits, windows and doors. On weather facing and coastal exposed walls we choose coatings made to handle driving rain and salt air.
Which areas do you cover?
Homes across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, from Bournemouth and Poole to Winchester, Portsmouth and Salisbury, plus the surrounding towns. Ask us if you're just outside.
Is the quote fixed?
The written quote is agreed before we start. If you ask for extra work along the way we'll price it and confirm it with you first.

“It was a delight working with A Star decorators. They were able to complete interior and exterior painting faster than expected, and to a high standard. They kept me updated every step of the way and I would definitely recommend you use them.”
