Decorators

BDL · 19 Nov 2006

Hi Chaps,

Well I have to admit trying to find a painter and decorator is a very difficult task.

I have contacted approx 15-20 decorators around the Kent area and managed to get 2 to visit and I am still waiting for a quote to arrive.

I guess it is the busiest time of the year? Or maybe you all take a break between October and December?

Anyone know of a reliable Decorator in Maidstone area that might like to provide a quote for some work?

Many ta's in advance.

It's the busiest time of the year, you're right. A decorator we work with sometimes is booked full to the end of January already and has hardly time to visit new prospects or write quotes.
Best to keep trying and someone might have a postponed or canceled job and could fit you in earlier?

I feel your pain!

I don't even need the work done before Christmas! I just need 2 quotes to send to Hotpoint (they fooked my stairs and walls when they were picking up a washing machine).

Don't suppose anyone in the Central Scotland area would be willing to post me a wee quote if I describe what needs done (feel free to overprice!!!)??!

Please?!

Hi, go to the Dulux website (best) or look in the yellow pages. They will recommend a Dulux Select Decorator Free of charge. Check out the scheme while you are there if you have never heard of it. I cover the Maidstone area if you get stuck get back in touch. Good luck!
