Do I need to empty the room before decorating starts?

Removing ornaments and smaller personal items before work begins helps save time on the first day. Larger furniture can often stay in place as long as there's enough room to protect it properly and work safely.

How will I know how the project is progressing?

Your decorator will keep you updated as the work moves along. If your property needs extra preparation or repair after work begins, you'll be told before any additional work goes ahead, giving you the chance to discuss the options.

Can decorating be completed while I'm living or working in the property?

Yes, in many cases. Rooms can often be completed one at a time, allowing the rest of the property to remain in use. This is especially helpful for busy households and businesses that need to keep disruption to a minimum.

When is it safe to move furniture back or hang pictures?

Fresh paint needs time to dry and harden fully. While surfaces are often dry to the touch within hours, it's usually best to wait a little longer before moving heavy furniture back into place or hanging pictures to help protect the new finish.

Why is preparation so important before painting?

A smooth, long-lasting finish starts long before the first coat of paint is applied. Filling small cracks and properly preparing the area helps the paint adhere better and produce a cleaner, longer-lasting result.

From lettings to launch: the beginning in 2021

Lincoln Painting and Decorating Ltd was founded in October 2021 after Martyn, following 10 years in residential lettings, saw firsthand how difficult it was to find reliable decorators. Missed calls, delayed quotes, and long wait times inspired a new approach. Although not formally trained, Martyn built the business on attention to detail, professionalism, and strong customer service, gaining early momentum, 5-star reviews, and the first steps towards building a skilled team across Lincoln.

Amazing company! Couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating with last-minute changes to plans and helping adjust the workload to suit my 82-year-old Dad. Great communication, tidy work, brilliant all round. We will definitely use them again. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Building a skilled team and early recognition in 2022

By October 2022, Lincoln Painting and Decorating Ltd had grown into a team of six, including four qualified painters and decorators, an Office Manager, and Martyn. This marked a key step in strengthening service quality and capacity. During this period, the company received its first “Three Best Rated” Painting and Decorating Companies in Lincoln award, while consistently receiving positive client feedback and building a strong reputation across the local area.
