Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. A CSCS card and NVQ are the standard expectation on commercial sites; spray-finishing capability and high-spec residential work carry the premium. As with the other finishing trades, price work frequently out-earns the employed band.

FAQs

What does a painter and decorator earn?

Indicatively £27,000–£42,000 employed; spray specialists and London high-spec work sit at the top, and price work can exceed it.

Do painters need a CSCS card?

For commercial and new-build sites, yes. A CSCS card (with an NVQ behind it) is the standard site-entry expectation.

What lifts a decorator's pay?

Airless/HVLP spray skills, high-end residential finishes, and reliable speed on programme-driven sites.
