Painting & Decorating FAQs
Can a handyman paint full rooms or just small areas?
A handyman can paint both small touch-ups and entire rooms. They prepare walls by filling cracks, sanding, and applying primer for a professional finish. This includes interior walls, ceilings, and woodwork such as doors and skirting boards. For large-scale renovations or specialist finishes, Hey Alfie can arrange dedicated decorators through the same service.
Do I need to supply paint or can the handyman provide it?
You can supply your own paint if you already have a brand or colour preference. Alternatively, the handyman can purchase high-quality paint in your chosen shade and bring all materials, including rollers, tape, and sheets. Material costs are discussed and approved before work begins.
How do you protect furniture and flooring during painting?
Before painting starts, the handyman covers all nearby furniture, flooring, and fixtures with dust sheets and protective materials. They work cleanly and carefully, ensuring no drips, splashes, or mess remain once the job is complete.
How long does it take to paint a room?
Most single rooms can be completed within a day depending on size, surface condition, and number of coats. Handymen plan drying time efficiently to finish as quickly as possible without compromising quality.
How much does painting and decorating cost?
Small touch-ups start around £70, while full-room repaints typically range between £150 and £300 depending on size and finish type. You always receive a clear quote before confirming the job.
Can a handyman also handle wallpapering?
Yes. Many handymen are experienced in wallpapering and can remove old paper, smooth walls, and apply new designs neatly. For complex patterns or feature walls, they take extra care to match seams accurately.
Are painting services insured and guaranteed?
Every decorating job is completed by insured professionals and backed by Hey Alfie’s £1,000 guarantee. You can expect a high-quality, lasting finish every time.
Can I book same-day painting?
Yes, depending on availability. Urgent touch-ups or small jobs can often be booked for the same day, with full-room projects usually scheduled within 24 to 48 hours.
