What is the average daily rate for a painter in [Location]?

On average, a painter charges __£325 a day__ in the UK, with exact costs depending on experience, job complexity and location. Read more in our [guide to painting and decorating costs](https://www.checkatrade.com/blog/cost-guides/painter-decorator-prices/).

Do I need to be home while the painter or decorator is working?

Not always. If you’re happy with the quote and scope, many homeowners choose to give access and check in at key stages. Just make sure everything is agreed upfront.

What does a painter and decorator do?

A painter and decorator can completely change how a space feels. But it’s not just about slapping on some emulsion. Whether it’s a full flat refresh or a quick tidy-up, decorators bring a level of care, craft and attention to detail that many of us can't achieve on our own. They can: - Prepare surfaces (fill cracks, sand, strip wallpaper) - Paint walls, ceilings, woodwork and exteriors - Apply specialist finishes or hang wallpaper - Recommend colours, finishes and the best products to use

What’s the difference between a painter and a decorator?

A painter focuses on applying paint to walls, ceilings, and surfaces. A decorator can also handle wallpapering, finishes, and more detailed visual design. Many tradespeople do both.

How do I find a good painter and decorator for interior work near me?

Use [Checkatrade](https://www.checkatrade.com/) to compare rated decorators and painters in your area. You’ll see verified reviews given by Checkatrade customers, photos of recent interior work, and contact details to get a quote, all in one place.

Do I need to move furniture before a painter arrives?

It helps. But most decorators will work around large items or move them if needed. Just ask in advance.

How much do decorators charge in [Location]?

On average, decorators typically charge __£325 a day__, with exact costs depending on experience, job complexity and your location. Read our [decorating cost guide](https://www.checkatrade.com/blog/cost-guides/painter-decorator-prices/) for more,

What should I ask a painter or decorator before hiring them?

A few questions upfront can help you book with confidence. Some helpful questions include: - Can I see examples of your work? - Do you offer written quotes? - When can you start? - How long will the job take? - Does your quote include prep and tidying up? - What insurance do you have?

“Having had bad experiences in the past with trades people i was extremely worried about using someone now but there was no way i was painting myself! Daniel was great from the begining, talked through what i wanted and what we could do. sent a professional quote and give me a date when i agreed. Daniel and his colleague turned up on time, kept me updated throughout the whole project And finished everything to a high standard and cleaned up everything after themselves. I have already requested a second quote for more work to be completed.”

Painters & decorators in Sheffield: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

You’ll be responsible for:

Cosmetic updates (walls, woodwork, exteriors)
Repairs and redecoration
Pre-sale or pre-let makeovers

Make sure to keep any receipts or guarantees from your decorator, in case you need to refer back.

Renters

Not sure if it’s your responsibility? Here's a quick guide:

Repairs or general wear? Speak to your landlord or letting agent first.
Personal choice (like changing colours)? You’ll probably need written permission and may need to pay for it yourself.

Need a quote to show your landlord? Most Sheffield decorators are happy to provide one.
