Painting & Decorating

We typically use premium brands such as Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, and Dulux Trade. We can also work with your preferred brand if you have specific requirements.

No. We move and cover furniture as part of the job and put it back afterwards. If there is anything fragile or particularly valuable you would rather handle yourself, just tell us before we start.

Filling, sanding, caulking, spot priming, and protecting floors and furniture are all included as standard. If a wall needs replastering, or there is damp behind the decoration, we will tell you at the quote stage rather than painting over it and letting it come back through.
