Most quotes for painting and decorating cover labour costs only, but some professionals may include materials if requested.  

If you’d prefer your painter to supply materials, they can often get trade discounts on paint and supplies, potentially saving you money.  

Always check the details of the quote to confirm what’s included. If materials aren’t covered, ask for an estimate of additional costs so you can budget accordingly. Clear communication and payment terms help you avoid unexpected expenses. 

Yes, many painters and decorators provide warranties or guarantees for their work, typically covering workmanship and sometimes materials for a specified period, often 1 to 5 years. This demonstrates confidence in their skills and gives you peace of mind.  

Always ask for details in writing, including what the warranty covers and any exclusions. If a painter does not offer a guarantee, it’s worth considering another professional who stands behind the quality of their work. 

Painters and decorators in the UK do not need a formal licence to work.  

However, most reputable professionals carry public liability insurance, which protects you against damage to your property during the project. If they employ staff, they are also required to have employers' liability insurance.  

While licensing isn’t mandatory, checking for qualifications like an NVQ in Painting and Decorating or membership in trusted associations (like the Painting and Decorating Association) makes sure you’re hiring a skilled professional.

Finally, always confirm insurance coverage before hiring.
