What to check when hiring painters / decorators in Ireland
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In Ireland, gas work must by law be done by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) and electrical work by a contractor registered with Safe Electric. Verify the registration on the public register before any gas or electrical job, as using an unregistered installer is illegal and dangerous.
- Agree an itemised written quote with staged payments tied to completed work rather than a large cash deposit up front, and confirm the tradesperson's public-liability insurance before they start.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge a painter / decorator
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Painting and decorating isn't a licensed trade in Ireland, so check the business carries public liability insurance and is a registered company or sole trader giving proper VAT invoices.
- Older homes can contain lead-based paint: ask how they'll test, contain dust and dispose of it safely.
- Get a written scope: surfaces, the prep (washing, sanding, filling, priming, repairs), number of coats and the exact paint brand and product.
- Favour recent, verifiable reviews and photos of comparable jobs.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- No proof of public liability insurance, especially for a crew working at height.
- An older home and no plan for handling lead-based paint.
- A vague quote with no detail on prep, coats or product: the quality lives in the prep.
- A large cash deposit, or a price that only works by skipping primer or cutting coats.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Do you carry public liability insurance?
- How will you handle any lead-based paint in an older property?
- What does the written scope include for prep, number of coats and product?
- What's your guarantee on peeling or blistering, and can I see comparable jobs?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy painter / decorator?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A painter / decorator backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend painters / decorators for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Painters / decorators are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a painter / decorator?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the painter / decorator, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
