Combined Jobs and Preservative Treatments
Shed and other garden-timber work can be considered together, with each structure listed separately in the quotation.

Shed and Fence Combined
A shed and nearby fence can be assessed together where compatible treatments and access make a combined scope practical. The shed and fence can be assessed together and listed as separate elements in one written scope. See our fence painting page for what is covered on the fencing side. The quotation records the treatment, preparation and accessible faces for each element.
Preservative Treatments
Preservative and coating options are selected after the timber, contamination, existing finish and current manufacturer instructions have been reviewed.

The Process
1. Site Assessment
Your decorator visits your property and assesses the shed with you. They note the timber condition, existing coatings, areas needing preparation or repair, and access requirements.
2. Scope and Quotation
The shed quote identifies accessible faces, cladding, doors, windows and trim, with timber condition, preparation, treatment and excluded repairs recorded.
3. Scheduled Work
Your decorator agrees the work sequence and records protection for the surrounding garden area.
4. Final Walkthrough
You review the accessible shed surfaces with your decorator once the specified treatment stages are complete. Product-led restrictions on use are confirmed.
Shed Painting Costs in Durham
The quote identifies the shed faces, doors, windows and trim included, along with timber condition, preparation and the proposed treatment.

What Drives the Price
Any programme estimate follows inspection of the structure’s size, detail, access and preparation needs.
Timber condition. Sound, recently treated timber needs light preparation. Weathered, previously coated, or algae-covered timber needs more time at the preparation stage.
Product system. Product systems differ in preparation, coverage and coat requirements. The selected manufacturer’s instructions determine the specified stages.
What the Quotation Covers
A small shed is quoted from its accessible faces, timber condition and detail. The scope states whether doors, windows, trim and the interior are included.
The written scope records the structure, faces and timber details to be treated, with preparation and finish specified for the assessed condition.
A summerhouse quote separates cladding, doors, window frames and decorative trim, and notes any faces that cannot be accessed.
