Decorating

Professional decoration, the finish that makes your project complete.

Our decorators deliver crisp, clean finishes with proper preparation — filling, sanding, priming and multiple coats using quality trade paints for lasting results.

What's included

  • Full interior redecoration
  • Exterior masonry and woodwork painting
  • Wallpaper hanging and removal
  • Woodwork — gloss, satin and eggshell
  • Feature walls and colour consultation
  • New build snagging and touch-ups

External decoration of listed buildings may require consent. We advise on any restrictions affecting your property.

The challenge

Problems homeowners face

Unclear communication

Many homeowners are left guessing what's happening on site, with no single point of contact when issues arise.

Hidden costs and variations

Quotes that grow once work starts — extras, provisional sums and unclear specifications create stress and mistrust.

Multiple trades to coordinate

Organising builders, electricians, plumbers and finishers separately often leads to delays, blame and inconsistent quality.

Poor quality control

Without structured inspections, defects can be covered up and only discovered after handover.

Weak paperwork at completion

Missing certificates, guarantees and documentation cause problems when selling, remortgaging or claiming insurance.

Our approach

How we solve them

Photographic evidence at every key stage with clear reporting before we move to the next phase.

Regulations

Planning & Building Control

Planning Permission

Planning permission may be required depending on the size, location and type of work. We assess your property at survey and advise clearly before you commit.

  • We review your property, neighbours and local authority constraints
  • We advise whether planning permission or a Lawful Development Certificate is needed
  • We can coordinate planning drawings and submissions where required
  • Conservation areas and listed buildings have additional requirements

Permitted Development

Many projects fall within Permitted Development rights, allowing certain works without a full planning application — subject to size limits and conditions.

  • Size, height and proximity to boundaries all affect PD rights
  • Prior Approval may still be required for some extensions
  • We verify PD status at survey — never assume
  • A Lawful Development Certificate provides peace of mind when selling

Building Regulations

Most building work must comply with Building Regulations and be signed off by Building Control or an approved inspector.

  • Structural safety, insulation, fire safety and ventilation must meet current standards
  • We coordinate all Building Control submissions and inspections
  • Completion certificate issued before final handover
  • Non-compliant work can affect mortgageability and resale value

Avoid costly errors

Common mistakes to avoid

Learn from the errors we see homeowners make — so your project runs smoothly from day one.

Choosing on price alone

The cheapest quote often excludes scope that others include — compare specifications, not just headline figures.

Skipping the survey

Ground conditions, access and existing structure affect cost and feasibility. A proper survey prevents surprises.

Ignoring Party Wall matters

Work on or near shared walls may require Party Wall notices — we advise early to avoid delays.

Underspecifying finishes

Vague specifications lead to disputes. We document finishes, brands and standards in your quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide colour consultation?

We advise on colour schemes and finishes based on room usage, light conditions and your preferences. We can arrange sample patches before committing.

What paint brands do you use?

We use quality trade-grade paints from Dulux, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and other leading brands depending on your specification and budget.
