What does a Painter and Decorator do?

A good painter and decorator needs to complete a job to the satisfaction of their customers while also taking care not to damage any other areas.  The nature of paint means that it’s easy for it to flick onto other items, so an initial covering of furniture, windows and ceilings which aren’t required to be painted is necessary.

After which, a period of sanding down walls and filling cracks and holes will take place so that when paint is applied it dries into a smooth and professional finish.  From here, a decorator will check over their work and touch up small details before presenting the finished room to the customer for approval.
