Painters · Home services
Be the painter a family rings before Diwali, not the one they find in January.
A family in a ground-floor flat wants the walls redone before the festival. They have three painters' numbers from neighbours, a shade card from the paint shop and a budget in mind, but no idea how many coats, how much putty and how many days.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
A painter paints and repairs interior and exterior walls, ceilings, doors and grills in homes, shops and small buildings. Marketing puts your name in front of the family or landlord when a repaint falls due, and sales turns a site visit and measurement into an agreed rate and a booked start date. GullySales prepares the scope sheet, the wall gallery and the dealer and landlord introductions.
Each painter comes, glances at the walls, and gives a rate per square foot. The family picks the one who explained what needed doing and what the rate included.
Painters are mostly picked on trust, because the customer cannot judge the work until the crew has left. People worry about patchy finish, spills on the floor, workers who leave halfway, and extra charges for putty or primer that were not mentioned. A painter who writes down the scope, the number of coats and the brand before starting gives the family something to hold the crew to, and something to recommend.

How buyers decide
How painters are chosen.
Home customers start with neighbours, the paint dealer or the interior designer. They invite two or three painters to visit, and compare the rate per square foot, the brand and number of coats, and whether the putty and primer are included. The painter who looks at the damp patches and explains why they need treating first is trusted over one who quotes quickly.
For rented flats and shops, the landlord or owner wants the work done before a new tenant arrives or a festival opens. Speed, a fixed start date and a clean finish with the floors protected are the deciding points.
Paint dealers, brand-run painter programmes and interior designers are the repeat source. A dealer who names the same painter to each walk-in buyer is a source worth a visit and a card.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for painters.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Customers compare our rate per square foot with one that leaves out putty”
A lower figure from another painter wins the job, and the customer discovers the extras later.
“Work arrives in a rush before festivals and nothing in the rest of the year”
Crews sit idle for months, so good painters take other work and are not available when the rush starts.
“No one can see our finished walls”
Fresh paint looks good only for the family inside, and our only proof is a few photos on a phone.
“Paint shops recommend whoever is nearest to the counter”
A dealer sends walk-in buyers to a painter already known at the counter, and we have never introduced ourselves.
“Customers argue about days and coats”
Without a written scope, a family claims the second coat was never done and we have no record to show.
“Landlords call us once and then switch to a cheaper crew”
We never built a relationship with property owners who repaint several flats a year.
What we do

A scope sheet the customer signs
A one-page document listing the walls, the number of coats, the brand and shade, putty and primer, and the start and finish dates.
A gallery of finished walls
Before and after photographs of rooms, exteriors and textures, taken without house numbers, with the finish and brand noted.
A dealer relationship routine
A list of paint and hardware dealers in your area, with a card and a short note on the work you do, so the counter has a name to give.
A landlord and manager offer
A page and short pack for owners who repaint flats between tenants, with a clear rate card format and a way to book several flats at once.
Google Business Profile and WhatsApp catalogue
A listing with areas, job types and photographs, and a WhatsApp catalogue of interior, exterior and texture jobs.

Past customers listed by job date and room, with a drafted message you can send when interiors are due for a repaint.

Not for

- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.

You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts

The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
