The service

Painting & Decorating

A good finish starts long before the final coat. We assess the condition of each surface, protect the property properly and specify preparation and paint systems that suit the room, substrate and expected level of use.

Scope of work

What we can help with

01

Bespoke interior painting

Careful decoration of walls, ceilings, doors, woodwork and architectural details using suitable premium systems for each surface.

02

Exterior painting

Preparation and redecoration of render, masonry, windows, doors and external joinery where safe access can be provided.

03

Spray finishing

Controlled spray application for larger surfaces and selected joinery, delivering an even finish with thorough masking and protection.

04

Cabinet and furniture spraying

Preparation, priming and finishing of suitable MDF cabinetry, fitted furniture and kitchen doors, subject to inspection of the existing substrate.

Heritage and period property decoration

Sensitive work to sash windows, mouldings, cornices and traditional features, retaining character while addressing normal wear and localised defects.

Surface preparation and restoration

Dust-controlled sanding, filling, stabilising, stain blocking and localised resin repair where required before decoration begins.

How work is approached

A defined route from enquiry to handover

You receive a written scope, coordinated scheduling and a team that treats preparation, protection and finishing as part of the job rather than optional extras. Where another specialist or regulated trade is required, this is identified clearly.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How long will decorating take?

Timescales depend on room size, access and the amount of preparation required. Your quotation will set out the expected programme.

Can you match an existing colour?

We can work to recognised colour references or arrange colour matching. Small differences can remain where existing paint has aged or faded.

Do you repair cracks before painting?

Normal preparation and agreed minor repairs can be included. Movement, damp or structural cracking may need investigation before decoration.

Can the property remain occupied?

Often yes. We plan protection and sequencing around the household, although some projects are quicker and easier in clear rooms.
