Will a decorator fill cracks?
Yes, filling cracks and preparing surfaces is a standard part of most decorating services to ensure a smooth, flawless finish.
Should I hire a painter or paint it myself?
Hiring a professional can save you time and ensure a high-quality finish, especially for complex projects or high ceilings. If you’re considering a DIY approach, weigh the complexity of the job against your skills and the time you can dedicate.

i founded external walls ltd using my background in the trade to provide a cost effective reliable service. with over 40yrs experience in the building and painting and decorating industries i have extensive product knowledge to help you with your project
Reliability? Communication? Completion of work in a timely manner? Quality of work? Customer Service? Cleanliness and respect for property? The job is done (in a fashion), but I am not convinced it will last or that the guarantee (which I apparently have) is worth anything. Unfortunately I could not recommend. I should not feel like I need to have a strong male physically present to deal with a tradesman (IYKYK). I will attach photos of evidence if I can, so you can see for yourself.
