Services
Exterior painting
Our exterior painting service transforms properties using premium Dulux Trade Weathershield exterior high gloss paint. We meticulously prepare surfaces by stripping old paint with dust-extraction technology, applying primer and undercoat before finishing touches. This comprehensive approach ensures long-lasting protection and aesthetic appeal for period homes and modern properties alike.
Interior painting
We deliver flawless interior painting results through careful preparation and precise application techniques. Our services include wall and ceiling painting, woodwork finishing, and colour consultation to enhance your property's value. With attention to detail and minimal disruption to residents, we ensure professional results in both residential and commercial settings.
Wallpaper stripping
Our specialist wallpaper stripping service handles both traditional and modern wall coverings. Using appropriate techniques for different materials, we carefully remove old wallpaper while preserving underlying surfaces. This meticulous preparation ensures optimal conditions for redecoration, whether applying new wallpaper or preparing for painting.
Spray painting
We employ professional spray painting techniques for efficient, even coverage on various surfaces. This method ensures smooth finishes on windows, doors, and architectural features while maintaining clean edges and protecting surrounding areas. Our expertise delivers time-saving benefits without compromising quality.
Plastering
Our plastering service addresses surface imperfections with expert repairs and finishing. We prepare walls for decoration by addressing cracks, uneven surfaces, and damaged areas. Using quality materials and traditional techniques, we create smooth, durable surfaces that enhance the final decorative finish.

Gary repainted our entire house and did a great job, so we used him again when we wanted some feature wallpaper hung in our lounge. An excellent and skilled decorator.

Gary painted the exterior of our home. He did a great job, it looks perfect and I'm sure will last for quite a few years. Also very amenable and trustworthy chap to have around. Would highly recommend.
