Get Permission

1 The first and certainly the most important thing before commencing with any redecoration is to get permission from ourselves. Preferably any request to redecorate would be put in writing with a description of the changes you are considering making.

In some circumstances a verbal agreement can be given, however, permission is always required before embarking on any redecoration.
