What this service includes
Painting and Decorating work we take on
Good decorating is mostly preparation. We fill, sand, repair and prime before any topcoat goes on, which is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that shows every flaw within a year.
We take on single rooms, whole houses, communal areas and commercial spaces across Croydon and South London, including work outside normal hours where a business needs it.
- Preparation
- Filling, sanding, caulking, stain blocking and priming so surfaces are sound before painting.
- Interior painting
- Walls, ceilings, woodwork, doors, stairs and radiators in the finish you choose.
- Plaster repairs
- Patching, skimming and re skimming damaged or uneven walls and ceilings.
- Wallpapering
- Hanging paper and feature walls, and stripping old paper back to a sound surface.
- Exterior decorating
- Render, masonry, fascias, soffits, windows and doors prepared and painted.
- Communal areas
- Hallways, stairwells and shared spaces decorated with access kept clear.

Customer reviews
What customers say about our painting and decorating
View all reviewsThe preparation was the part that impressed me. Filling and sanding was done properly so the walls actually look flat.
Peter G.South Croydon
Two rooms and the hallway done in a few days. Dust sheets down everywhere and no paint anywhere it should not be.
Sofia M.Mitcham
Helpful with colour choices without pushing us either way.

FAQs
Painting and Decorating questions
If your question is not covered here, call or send a message and we will answer it directly.
- Do you supply the paint?
- We can supply everything at trade prices, or you can provide the paint if you have a specific brand or colour in mind. Either way the quote will make it clear.
- How long does a full house redecoration take?
- A three bedroom house is typically one to two weeks depending on the amount of preparation, woodwork and whether ceilings need repair.
- Can you work while we are living in the property?
- Yes. We work room by room, protect floors and furniture and leave each space usable at the end of the day.
- Do you do exterior work in winter?
- Only when conditions allow. Paint needs the right temperature and dry surfaces to cure properly, so we would rather reschedule than rush it.
