It's for anyone who finds paint charts overwhelming, people who don't have time to visit suppliers, and clients who want to be sure they're getting the right product for each surface. It's useful when you're redecorating several rooms and want them to flow, when you're unsure how a colour will look in your light, or when different surfaces need different types of paint. Choosing a colour is only half of it. Walls, ceilings, woodwork, metal, masonry and uPVC all need different products. Getting this wrong means poor coverage, poor durability or a finish that fails. With 25+ years in the trade, we know which products suit which surface.

We take this into account. ### Finishes and sheen Matt, eggshell, satin and gloss all look and wear differently. We'll recommend finishes that suit how each room is used. ### Durable and specialist products Kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and children's rooms benefit from more durable, wipeable paints. Exteriors, masonry and uPVC need their own specialist products. ### Flow between rooms When decorating several rooms, we help choose colours that work together through hallways and open-plan spaces. ### Supply your own if you prefer If you already have a brand or colour in mind, or want to supply materials yourself, that's fine. We'll advise if a product isn't suitable for a surface. ### Homes vs commercial For businesses, we can match brand colours and recommend hard-wearing finishes for busy areas. ## How to choose paint colours that work in your home ### Light changes everything A colour can look completely different depending on the light in a room. North-facing rooms tend to get cooler, flatter light, which can make some colours look grey or dull. South-facing rooms get warmer light that can make colours look brighter. East and west-facing rooms change through the day. That's why a colour that looks perfect in a shop or on a screen can look very different on your walls. Testing colours in the room, in different light, helps avoid surprises. ### Think about the whole house When decorating several rooms, it helps to think about how the colours flow, especially in hallways, landings and open-plan spaces where you can see several rooms at once. A consistent palette makes a home feel joined up. We can help you choose colours that work together rather than picking each room in isolation. ### Choosing the right finish Paint finishes range from flat matt to high gloss. Flatter finishes hide imperfections but can be less durable. Higher sheen finishes are tougher and easier to clean but show imperfections more. Many modern paints offer durable matt finishes that balance both. Woodwork, metal, masonry and uPVC each need their own types of product. Using the right one for each surface is essential for a finish that lasts. ### Let us handle the materials We can supply all paints and materials for your job and help you choose colours, saving you time and trips to suppliers. If you'd rather supply your own, that's fine too, and we'll let you know if a product isn't suitable for a surface. Every job is quoted individually after a free visit, and all completed work is guaranteed. ### Testing before you commit If you're torn between a few colours, try them on the actual walls and look at them morning and evening. Paint a large patch rather than a small stripe, and look at it against your flooring, furniture and woodwork. It's a small step that can save the cost and frustration of repainting. ### What to expect while your paint supply & colour advice is underway Before any paint supply & colour advice begins, we agree the scope, the order of work and a realistic timescale with you, so you know which rooms or areas will be affected and when. Floors, furniture and fixtures are protected before work starts, and the work area is kept as tidy as possible throughout, with a clean-up at the end of the job. Our working hours are 8am to 7pm, Monday to Friday. If anything unexpected comes up once surfaces are exposed, such as hidden damage behind old paper or paint, we'll explain it to you before going further, so there are no surprises on the final bill. When the work is finished, we walk through it with you and put right anything you're not happy with. Smaller jobs are paid on completion. Larger jobs are paid according to the deposit and payment schedule agreed at the start. All completed work is guaranteed. ### Why choose A&S Decorators for paint supply & colour advice A&S Decorators was set up by Ashley Power around 16 years ago, backed by more than 25 years in the trade.
