Painting & Decorating
Do you want the joy of a transformed living space without having to do it yourself? A space you can’t wait to share with your friends and family?
We believe your home should be a place you enjoy spending time in, and we know that creating that perfect space can be time-consuming. So, we work with you to transform your house into your dream home by crafting your perfect space using wallpaper and colour so you can come home, kick back and relax knowing you have a home created just for you.
Investing in top quality kit is a must for us especially if it makes our customers lives easier. We use a dustless sanding system so when we sand back woodwork your house doesn’t end up full of dust.
We understand that choosing colours can be a challenge and the breadth of choice can be overwhelming.
We’re happy to help you through this. We can drop colour cards round to you. We can chat through colours with you as sometimes that is all you need to do to help your brain work out what you do or don’t want. We can order tester posts for you. We can colour match any branded paint or use the 1000’s of colour available from our supplier. We can even send a sample of a colour you have found to our supplier, and they will make your own bespoke paint.
That’s it. It’s not rocket science – just paint.

The only way to give realistic quote is to come and have a look at the room. Get in touch with us and we’ll arrange a time to pop round and have a look at the space and have a chat about what you want doing.
-
We will then email you a quote and you can decide whether you’d like to go ahead.

If you do want to go ahead, we get a date in the diary and then a couple of weeks before we get in touch about colour choices so we can order the paint in good time.
How does it work?
We offer interior painting of walls and woodwork, wallpaper and mural installation.
Proper preparation is essential for achieving a flawless finish. We take great pride in our attention to detail and we will prepare surfaces by sanding, filling cracks and holes, priming, and ensuring that all surfaces are clean and smooth before painting or decorating.
It depends a little on whether there are big drops. We don’t have the kit to do this type of work safely as you need the right ladders and platforms. However, there are some configurations that we may be able to do so just ask and send a few photos and we’ll let you know.
We put a lot of work into researching the best products to use. The technologies behind paints, brushes, fillers, sander are evolving all the time.
We supply all paint and materials, so you don’t have to worry about anything.
We are always happy to talk through paint choices with customers, however the final decision is up to you. We tend to find customers do know what they like and if we say, ‘I know we’ll paint it all dark brown’ they’ll say ‘no thanks I was thinking more of a …’ and then we have a starting point.
My paint supplier will colour match most branded paints so if you want Farrow and Ball, Sulking Room Pink or Dulux, Timeless we can get that for you. They also have their own selection of colours, and we can provide a colour card for you.
Also, if you have a wallpaper sample, blind sample, or something else you would like the colour matched to our supplier offers an excellent colour matching service.
We can order testers for the colours that you want to try out.
We recommend looking at websites such as www.wallpaperdirect.com who will send samples as well as having a wallpaper calculator on their website.
The only time you need to be at home is to provide a key, so whether you are in or out makes no difference. Many people work from home now however it is still useful to have a spare key in case there’s a need to pop out. Lots of time has been spent hovering outside home-office doors whilst people finish work calls!
The room does need to be as clear as possible. It’s amazing how much faster you’ll get your room back if there is space to move round it easily. However, we do appreciate that emptying a room is not always feasible, so beds and sofas usually stay. It is useful if blinds and curtain poles are down but again, we appreciate that sometimes this is not possible.
We can do some straightforward filling but there are some occasions when it needs a plasterer. If this is the case, we would need to finish the job and invoice you for work completed whilst the plaster is fixed. We would then look at booking in the rest of the job depending on my availability.
Just get in touch and we will arrange a convenient time to come round and have a look at the room and a chat about what needs doing. We’ll then email you a quote and if you want to go ahead, we can get a date booked in.
"This is the second room Claire has decorated for us now, and we’re really happy with it! From helping with our colour indecision, to filling around some last-minute electrical work we’d had done, Claire went over and above what you’d expect from your average decorator.
She’s no trouble at all to have in the house, she arrives when she says she will, and does a fabulous job.
I don’t know how she gets those perfectly smooth lines along the top of each wall, but I don’t need to know now, because I’m hoping Claire will decorate every room in the house! In fact, we already have the next room booked in!"
