You are probably looking for an office painter in Mayfair, Holborn, Marylebone or Soho but have no idea where to find a good local painter.

It is important to arrange a site visit in order to get an accurate and professional quotation. If you can, try to get several quotes for the entire job and be clear about the work you need doing, including any preparation works. Observe the person undertaking the quotation seeing how professional and attentive he is. As a potential client, don't be afraid to ask questions. Ask about the brands of paints they will be using. Will they be bringing dust sheets to cover furniture, desks and flooring. Could the work be carried out, out of hours. It is also important to ask who will be undertaking the works, subcontractors or paid employees.
Be clear about who will be providing the paint and materials. If the contractor is going to supply the paint and materials, make sure that they are costed separately in the quotation. If you are going to supply the paint, make sure that it is all on site at the start of the job to avoid wasting time and money.
