Let Tradesman chase YOU for a change

The Painting Broker was established in March 1998 to meet the needs of consumers who required professional and competitive painters and also to provide professional painters with a regular stream of referral work.

Research over several years has highlighted a number of difficulties that clients have faced in obtaining reliable and professional painters.

Because our service is unique we would like to explain what The Painting Broker does and how it will benefit you.

The Benefits to the Consumers are:

• Time and money saved
  • With one free call to The Painting Broker up to 4 independent painters are arranged to call and quote. This means time and money saved on contacting numerous individual painters after selecting them from the phone book or paper, then hoping they will turn up to quote.
• Frustration avoided
  • You can receive up to 4 independent quotes that allow you to choose the painter you feel most comfortable with, who has the skills required and the pricing that falls within your budget.
• The prescreening process
  • Painters are screened thoroughly through an interview for references, licences and insurance, ensuring consumer peace of mind.
• We match the painter to the client’s needs both in type of work and time frame
  • The Painting Broker then contacts the matched painters to confirm their interest and availability to complete your project and organises for them to contact you to arrange your obligation- free quote.
• Painters agree not to subcontract the work
  • Many people have experienced problems when subcontractors are involved. Generally 35-45% of the contract price is the standard fee taken when a subcontractor is involved and this often results in poor workmanship and difficulties in communication with the principal contractor.
• Consumer still has the choice
  • The consumer is not under any obligation to accept any of the quotes presented by the painters.
• Constant monitoring of painters generally ensures high standard of reliability, professionalism and quality of work
  • The painters’ performance is constantly monitored for several months after they join the arrangement. We particularly monitor this by client feedback. We also request the painters to provide us with ongoing proof that their insurance and licences are renewed and kept current.
• Totally free service
  • The Painting Broker is paid by the painters for the advertising that we do on their behalf. The advertising fees that the painters pay to the Painting Broker do not affect your estimate.
• Client Feedback Service
  • We contact the consumers to get feedback on our service and on the painters to ensure high quality professionals .
• Advice on what to look for in a painter (via this website)

Benefits to the Painters are:

• Benefits from a regular stream of painting quotes, and therefore constant work
• They receive painting quotes in the areas that they wish to work in and generally these are close to their home
• Advertising savings
  • The Painting Broker saves the painter time and money that they would normally have to expend arranging their own advertising. These savings can then be passed onto the consumer.

  • The Painting Broker has brokered an arrangement with major paint companies to supply painters with lower prices for paint purchases. Another saving which can be passed onto the consumer.
• Painters can grow their business and therefore increase their earnings

• Painters are able to control their work flow by controlling the amount of quotes they receive
• Painters can receive quotes tailored to their specialties
