DIY painting and decorating advice in El Matarraña and Bajo Aragón

Are you interested in DIY painting and decorating but tired of disappointing results? Look no further! Our expert advice and guidance can help you achieve professional-looking results in El Matarraña and Bajo Aragón.

Forget the make-do-and-mend approach. No more bedsheets, rickety ladders and over-complications, please!

Written articles

First stop for solutions is our blog where you’ll find a growing number of tips on decorating materials, tools and techniques. Drawing on decades of experience in the decorating industry, there is a lot to share.

On Nostr social media I post quick tips and how-to’s.

However, it is not possible to cover every scenario with the written word.

To bridge the information gap, I’m offering an in-person advisory service to help you tackle your DIY decorating projects with confidence.

DIY Decorating Consultations in your home

If you would like a detailed, step-by-step guide to carry out your decorating project yourself, we offer a one-hour consultation in your home.

During this consultation, we can go into detail about the process, show you tips and tricks, and help you avoid common mistakes.

This service is ideal for those who want to have a deeper understanding of how to carry out the project effectively.

A variation on “Painting by Numbers”!

Here’s what you can expect from a 1-hour consultation:

• Practical information geared to your project
• A detailed step-by-step assessment of the process
• Potential hazards and workable hands-on solutions
• Suggestions on materials and tools to improve your chances of success.
• How to apply materials and use equipment to its full potential.

I charge 30€ plus fuel for a one-hour consultation at your place.

If you are interested, please contact me with a list of what you want to know.

We can arrange a date and I will come over with some kit, an iPad and point you in the right direction.

While I’m passionate about decorating, I also respect your time and will ensure our consultation stays on schedule.

Examples of how we can save DIY enthusiasts time and improve the final finish.

A good workman has the right tools for the job. And the best ones know how to use them.

We can cover a range of tasks:

• Job planning: from single rooms to a fitted kitchen to entire houses
• Quick, thorough and clean preparation techniques
• Identifying and repairing damaged surfaces
• Rolling paint onto walls and ceilings with minimal mess
• Choosing the right brushes and rollers and paints for a professional finish.

Interested in classes?

I used to teach at a Technical College, so I could conceivably do a formal class in situ. But it takes some organising. Happy to discuss any ideas.

Extended consultations

If you want me to work alongside you to get you up to speed on a variety of jobs, I can offer you blocks of 4 hours of my time for 130€ plus fuel and the cost of any materials from the van.

Why not invite a couple of friend(s) over so you can share the cost of a consultation. But not so many friends that nobody can move!

Colour consultations

We’re pleased to offer colour consultations with a professional interior designer who we collaborate with to provide our clients with expert guidance on colour selection. She has extensive knowledge of colour theory and can help you choose a palette that works well for your kitchen, taking into account walls, floors, furnishings, and lighting.

For DIY customers, our colour consultation service is available for a fee of 80€ per hour. With the booking you will receive a voucher for 50€ redeemable against any future purchases from *** in ***.

So don’t leave your colour schemes to chance. Our colour consultation service can provide you with the guidance and expertise you need to make informed decisions and avoid expensive mistakes.

I have been asked if our free estimates are detailed enough to enable you to complete the work yourself. 🙂 Our estimates do cover the scope of work in some detail with costings, but they’re definitely not painting by numbers.
