Painters and decorators in Essex for homes and rental properties
A good finish starts with good preparation. Our decorators fill, sand and prime properly before the first coat goes on, then leave every room clean and ready to use.
Decorating done properly, by the same team that builds
Decorating is often the last trade on a job, and the one everybody sees. Because painting and decorating is part of our in-house team, it is planned into every project from the start rather than squeezed in at the end by whoever is available. Walls are made good after plastering, woodwork is prepared properly, and finishes are chosen to suit how each room is used.
We decorate single rooms, whole houses and rental properties. For landlords, we can combine redecoration with repairs and electrical safety checks so a property is ready for new tenants quickly. For homeowners, we often finish off a new bathroom, kitchen or extension, so the whole room looks complete rather than leaving you to find a decorator afterwards.
Older homes need extra care. Cracked lime plaster, uneven walls and old woodwork all need the right preparation, and we will advise honestly on what will last. If your property needs more than a fresh coat, see our home refurbishment service, or browse recent work on our projects page.
