6 questions

What painting and decorating services do you offer?

We offer a wide range of painting and decorating services for homes and businesses. Whether you're looking to freshen up a single room, redecorate your whole house or give your office a new look, we're happy to help.

Our work includes interior and exterior painting, wallpaper hanging, kitchen cupboard painting, woodwork, doors, garage doors and uPVC surfaces. We take care of the preparation as well as the finishing touches, so everything looks its best.

Do I need to move my furniture before you start decorating?

You don't need to empty the entire room, although moving smaller items, ornaments and anything fragile beforehand is always helpful.

We can discuss larger furniture when arranging the work and explain what needs to be moved. We'll also take appropriate steps to protect floors, furniture and surrounding areas while decorating.

Our aim is to make the process as straightforward as possible, with as little disruption to your home as we can.

Can you help me choose paint colours and finishes?

Absolutely. Choosing the right colour isn't always easy, especially when you're trying to match existing furniture, flooring or wallpaper.

We're happy to talk through your ideas and offer practical advice on colours, finishes and what might work well in different rooms. We can also explain the differences between matt, eggshell, satin and gloss finishes, helping you choose something that looks good and suits how the space is used.

Do you prepare walls and woodwork before painting?

Yes. Good preparation makes a real difference to the finished result, and it's something we take seriously.

Depending on the condition of the surfaces, preparation may involve filling small holes and cracks, sanding, cleaning, priming and dealing with loose or flaking paint.

We'll assess the surfaces before starting and explain if anything needs extra attention. Taking the time to prepare properly helps achieve a smoother, longer-lasting finish.

Do you offer wallpaper hanging as well as painting?

Yes, we provide professional wallpaper hanging for feature walls, bedrooms, living rooms and other areas of the home.

Whether you've chosen a bold patterned wallpaper, something subtle and textured or a more traditional design, careful preparation and accurate positioning are important.

We pay particular attention to pattern matching, joins, corners and edges to achieve a neat finish. If you're unsure whether your chosen wallpaper is suitable for a particular wall, we're happy to discuss it before work begins.

How much does a painter and decorator cost, and can I get a free quote?

The cost depends on the size of the job, the condition of the surfaces, the preparation required and the materials involved.

Painting a single bedroom, for example, will usually be a different job from redecorating an entire house or preparing exterior woodwork that's been exposed to the weather.

We offer free, no-obligation quotations, so you can find out what's involved before deciding whether to go ahead. Just tell us a little about what you'd like done, and we'll be happy to discuss your project.
