What we do

All domestic decorating, done to a high standard.

Dining room with a floral feature wallpaper wall, parquet floor and a striped sofa

Floral feature wall, hung and finished by us.

We take great pride in developing our professional relationship with our customers to help deliver them the highest quality of work. Whether it is one hallway or the whole house, the same care goes into the preparation and the finish.

  1. Interior decorating

    Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, landings and stairs. Ceilings, walls and all the woodwork: skirting boards, door frames, doors and banisters, finished to the sheen you want.

  2. Full house redecoration

    Whole-house paint jobs carried through room by room, so the finish and colours flow from the front door to the top landing.

  3. Wallpapering

    Feature walls, chimney breasts and full hallways. Woven and non-woven papers, metallic wallpaper, lining paper, Anaglypta and embossed papers.

  4. Preparation and plaster repair

    Uneven and flaking walls sorted before a drop of paint goes on. Plaster repair, and full rooms lined with fibre liner for a smooth, sound surface.

  5. Exterior painting

    Outside work too: window frames, doors, garage doors and other exterior woodwork.

  6. Renovation and smaller commercial work

    We take on all domestic decorating and renovation, and we are currently taking on smaller commercial jobs as well.

“The finish and attention to detail is unbelievable and no mess.”

One hallway, start to finish

Downstairs hall, stairs and landing.

Lots of paint and a few rolls of wallpaper.

“We are so happy with the finished work. Tom did our downstairs and upstairs hallway. Lots of paint and a few rolls of wallpaper. The finish and attention to detail is unbelievable and no mess. He passed the test with one of dogs who isn’t keen on workman. Tom even gave us a few tips and suggestions for a smaller job that we are doing, and even helped with out with a bit of shoddy work from another tradesman. Definitely will use again.”

Outside too

Window frames, doors and garage doors.

Exterior paintwork has a hard life on this stretch of coast. We prepare it properly and repaint it, from an arched window frame to a tired garage door.

“He is very professional and the cleanest painter I’ve ever seen!”

“Tom was incredibly generous with his time and advice. He helped us with a few odd jobs on top of his decorating and gave us some really great advice. Tom was so thorough with his work and made sure everything was done to the highest standard. He was really friendly, helpful and even got the seal of approval from my little dog who is usually wary with strangers! I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled decorator.”

“Tom was brilliant from start to finish. He consistently went out of his way to help with little jobs and advice and the quality of his work was superb. He sorted out our living room, including a lot of extra work sorting out the uneven and flaking walls, and did a really thorough job on our staircase, doors and skirting boards. We honestly couldn't recommend him enough - he even won our dog over and brought us some coffee and cannolis from his favourite cafe! An absolute gent who we would gladly have back any time”

Tom is the most skillful, knowledgeable and meticulous decorator that I have known. He has done the most fantastic job. He has not left any mess and has always been punctual and friendly.

“Tom carried out a full house paint for me and my husband. He is very professional and the cleanest painter I’ve ever seen! He is quite the perfectionist and it is clear by the quality of his work why. The house looks amazing and he was always a pleasure to be around. The addition of the kind nature toward our rescue dog was just the icing on the cake. Recommend hundred times over”
