My parents used to get a guy called George Lees in to decorate. I’m genuinely astounded at the quality of his work - it’s lasted so long and the quality of the prep and his process really stands out. They tell me they definitely paid for it tho.
And my mates who are painters say that one of the big problems is that people often don’t want to pay good money because they believe they can do it themselves.

This must be the biggest problems with decorating, because it’s easier to understand how you could do it yourself. It’s the hardest of all trades imo.

Yeah the finish in my folks place was done to an excellent standard and almost 15yrs on it still looks great.

The thing is you can paint yourself though, and you probably painted as a kid. Whereas rewiring a house is not something you can just go an have a crack at.

Ironically this is why your posts make me even less likely to hire painter decorators.
Hearing what goes into a quality job, I can't bare the idea of paying someone to do an average job - that I could probably do myself. Plus we don't have a good enough finish on the walls to warrant paying someone excellent.
