Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions About L&D Designs

How much will the job be?

Prices vary depending on room size, preparation needed and materials. Most projects range from £100 to £1,000. I provide a free quote after assessing the work required.

How long will a standard job take?

Most painting and decorating jobs take 1–3 days depending on the size and complexity of the work.

What is the typical turnaround time?

Turnaround is usually around 1 week from quote acceptance to starting the job, depending on my current schedule.

Will there be lots of mess?

No. I keep your home clean and tidy throughout. I use dust sheets, protect furniture and clean up thoroughly after each day's work.

Do you work alone or with a team?

I work alone, so you always know exactly who is coming to your door. It keeps communication clear and quality consistent.

How long does wall painting take?

Wall painting typically takes 1–3 days depending on the size of the room and the number of walls.

How long does woodwork paint take to dry?

Woodwork is usually touch-dry in 4–6 hours and reaches a full cure within 24 hours.

Do I need to move furniture out of the room?

If heavy items can't be moved, I'll cover them carefully with protective sheeting to keep everything clean.

How much wallpaper will I need?

The amount depends on wall size and the paper pattern. I'll measure up during the quote and let you know exactly what to order.

Do you remove old wallpaper?

Yes. If old wallpaper needs to come down, I can strip it and prepare the walls so the new paper sits perfectly smooth.
