There are 15 painters and decorators on this page for Southport, Merseyside, including 2 that cover it from nearby. 1 is verified by its owner. This list is free to be on and nobody pays to move up. Southport's painters and decorators are mostly sole traders and small family firms working from home, plus a few crews who take on commercial and high-level work. Every business here is based in Southport by its own website or its own Facebook page, or says on its own pages that it works here. Each card says what the business does and how it was checked. Where a decorator belongs to Dulux Select or the Painting and Decorating Association, we checked that body's own finder, and the date is on the card.
Get two or three written quotes for the same job. A good quote says what preparation is included (filling, sanding, stripping old paper), how many coats, which rooms and surfaces, who supplies the paint and which brand, and whether furniture moving and protection are included. Quotes that leave these out are hard to compare.
Ask whether they are insured. Public liability insurance covers damage to your home or to someone else while the work is done. Most decorators on this page say they are insured; it is a fair question and the answer should come straight back.
Know what the memberships mean, and what they do not. Dulux Select Decorators must pass an assessment, including a check of their work on a live job, before they can join. They follow a code of practice and offer a 24-month workmanship guarantee. The Painting and Decorating Association is the trade body, with its own member finder. Most good local decorators belong to neither, and plenty are recommended again and again in the town's Facebook groups. Where a card shows a membership, we found the business on that body's finder.
Book outside work early. Exterior painting needs dry weather, so the spring and summer diaries fill first. Ask how far ahead they are booked and how they handle rain days.
Check what kind of work they do most. Some decorators here do mainly homes, some take on shops and offices out of hours, and a few also spray uPVC windows, doors and kitchens. The flags on each card show which.
Several decorators here also spray: uPVC windows and doors, kitchen cabinets, and exteriors. SPS Decorators & Spraying, Holland Decorating and Davidson Decorators all list spraying alongside their decorating work. Firms that only spray uPVC and kitchens are not on this page, because it is a different job, and may get a page of their own.
A few businesses here combine decorating with another trade. J Jackson Decor & Joinery does panelling, bespoke cabinets and kitchen and bathroom fitting as well as decorating. Haywards is a tiler as well as a painter and decorator. T F Mayers & Son put up coving, cornice and plaster mouldings. WRE takes on high-level work with spider lifts and cherry pickers.
Some decorators recommended in local Facebook groups are not on this page yet, because we could not find a website or Facebook page of their own that says where they are based and what they do. A Google listing on its own is not enough for us. If you are one of them, add yourself and we will check it.
None of the decorators on this page prints its prices; they quote after seeing the job, and some work on a day rate. Ask for a written quote that says what preparation and how many coats are included, and get two or three for the same job.
The words are used for the same trade. 'Decorator' usually means someone who also hangs and strips wallpaper and does finer interior work. 'Painter' is often used for exteriors and commercial work. Most people on this page do both.
For most houses, no. If the building is listed, Sefton Council says painting the exterior needs listed building consent. In a conservation area such as Birkdale Village or Lord Street, check the area's advisory leaflet first.
The decorator has passed Dulux's assessment, including a check of their work on a live job, follows its code of practice and offers a 24-month workmanship guarantee. Where a card shows it, we found the business on the Dulux Select finder and the date is shown.
Ask when you get the quote. Many decorators will move and cover furniture as part of the job; others prefer the room cleared. Small items, pictures and curtains are usually yours to take down.
Each one's base comes from its own website or its own Facebook page. Memberships are shown only when the body's own finder lists the business, with the date we checked. Anything else a business says about itself is marked as stated by the business.
