Separate the surfaces from the finish
For your Helston enquiry, start by listing the surfaces: walls, ceilings and any coving or cornice. Then describe what you want done to each, such as plastering, repairs or painting. GRE Plastering offers interior and exterior painting and decorating as well as plastering, so be clear about whether the work is inside, outside or both.
Include existing finishes and your plans
Photos of the existing decoration and any areas that need attention provide a useful starting point. Say whether other renovation work is planned before the decorating stage and whether rooms will be occupied. If you already have a finish in mind, explain it to Garry. Ask about the sequence and scope before arranging separate dates for plastering and painting.
