Ask a question

Can you visit my property to provide a quote?

Yes. For most work we arrange a visit to assess the property, take relevant measurements and discuss the scope. We then prepare a written quotation. Smaller enquiries may be discussed first by telephone or email so we can decide the most useful next step.

Which areas do you cover?

Our core working regions are Dorset, London and Bristol. Send us the property postcode and a short description of the work so we can confirm availability and the most useful next step.

Can you coordinate several trades?

Yes. That is one of the main benefits of using Q1 Dekor. Building, electrical, carpentry, flooring, tiling, plumbing-related work and decorating can be sequenced within one agreed project.

What should I do before decorating starts?

If practical, remove fragile items and small furniture. Larger furniture can often be moved to the centre of the room and protected. We confirm any preparation expected from you before the start date.

Can you remove old wallpaper?

Yes. The method depends on the paper, adhesive and condition of the wall. We remove it carefully and assess the surface beneath before agreeing the preparation needed for the new finish.

Will you protect floors and furniture?

Yes. Protection is part of professional preparation. The exact coverings and movement of furniture depend on the room and the work being undertaken.

How long will the work take?

Timing depends on the size of the property, condition of the surfaces, number of trades and drying or curing periods. We provide an expected programme with the quotation and explain any dependencies.

Will you clean up after the work?

Yes. We keep the working area orderly and remove normal job waste as agreed. A separate commercial or post-work cleaning service can also be quoted where a more extensive final clean is required.

Are Q1 Dekor insured?

The existing Q1 Dekor website states that the business holds public liability and damage insurance. Current certificates and any project-specific requirements should be checked as part of the quotation process.

Can you quote for insurance work?

Q1 Dekor can prepare a written quotation for relevant repair or redecoration work. Acceptance and contractor selection remain decisions for the insurer and policyholder.

Do I need planning permission or Building Regulations approval?

Some extensions, loft conversions and structural alterations require professional design, planning permission, Building Regulations approval or structural calculations. The requirements depend on the property and proposal; these should be established before the relevant construction work proceeds.

Do you supply materials?

We can supply materials within the quotation or work with suitable items you have selected or purchased. Responsibilities, product choices and lead times are agreed before the job starts.
