Painter and Decorator Services

Interior Painting Services

Our interior painting services transform London homes with precision and care. From cosy living rooms to grand hallways, we handle every space with attention to detail. We use low-VOC paints that are safe for occupied homes, ensuring you can remain comfortable throughout the decorating process.

London's period properties often feature high ceilings, intricate cornicing, and original features that require specialist knowledge. Our team understands how to work around these architectural elements, enhancing rather than hiding their character. We also cater to modern London apartments where clean lines and contemporary finishes are essential.

Exterior Painting Services

London's exterior painting challenges are unique - from pollution and rain to the diverse range of building materials found across the capital. Our exterior painting service addresses these specific demands with weather-resistant coatings and primer systems designed for long-lasting protection.

We work on everything from Victorian terraces to modern developments, understanding that each building type requires different approaches. Our exterior service includes comprehensive surface preparation, essential for ensuring paint adhesion on London's varied surfaces from traditional brick and render to modern cladding systems.

Kitchen Resprays

Kitchen resprays have become one of our most popular services, offering London homeowners a cost-effective way to achieve a complete kitchen transformation. Rather than replacing entire kitchen units, our respray service can save you thousands whilst delivering a fresh, modern look.

Our kitchen respray process involves careful preparation, including thorough cleaning and sanding of all surfaces. We use specialist kitchen paints that withstand daily use, steam, and cleaning. Whether you're updating tired wooden units or transforming melamine cabinets, our spray finish creates a flawless, factory-quality result that looks like a brand new kitchen.

Cabinet and Furniture Painting

Transform your kitchen or bedroom without the expense of replacement through our specialist cabinet and furniture painting services. This service has become increasingly popular with London homeowners looking to update their spaces cost-effectively whilst maintaining quality and style.

Our process includes thorough cleaning, professional sanding, and the application of specialist primers designed for furniture surfaces. Whether you prefer the crafted look of hand-painted finishes or the sleek perfection of spray application, we tailor our approach to your vision and budget.

Traditional Painting Services

Our traditional painting approach forms the backbone of our London decorating services. Using premium brushes and rollers, we apply paint with the meticulous attention to detail that London's period properties demand. This method is particularly suited to textured surfaces, intricate mouldings, and areas requiring precise cutting-in work around architectural features.

Many London homes feature original Victorian or Edwardian details that benefit from hand-painted finishes. Our traditional techniques ensure these features are enhanced rather than obscured, preserving the character that makes London properties so distinctive. We use only high-quality trade paints that provide superior coverage and durability, essential for London's challenging climate conditions.

Professional Spray Painting Services

For clients seeking flawless, factory-quality finishes, our spray painting services deliver unmatched results. This modern technique is perfect for kitchen cabinets, fitted furniture, and smooth wall surfaces where a perfectly uniform finish is desired. Our professional-grade spray equipment ensures consistent coverage and eliminates brush marks entirely.

Spray painting is particularly effective for London apartments and modern homes where clean lines and contemporary aesthetics are priorities. We use dust extraction systems and protective coverings to maintain a clean working environment - crucial when working in London's close-quarters living spaces. The result is a durable, professional finish that transforms spaces completely.

Local Painter Experience and Expertise

We've worked extensively across London's diverse property types, from Grade II listed Georgian townhouses in Bloomsbury to contemporary penthouses in Canary Wharf. This breadth of experience means we understand the unique challenges each property type presents - whether it's working around original features that require specialist knowledge or navigating the access challenges of high-rise developments.

Last year, we completed a particularly challenging project for a family in a converted Victorian warehouse in Shoreditch. The space featured original brick walls and steel beams that required specialist primers and techniques. Our knowledge of both traditional and modern building materials ensured the project was completed to the highest standards whilst preserving the building's industrial character.

Frequently Asked Questions About Painting and Decorating

What kind of work does a professional painter and decorator usually handle?

They prepare surfaces (e.g. sanding, filling holes, stripping wallpaper), apply paint, wallpaper, and finishes, gloss woodwork, and complete other decorative tasks such as ceilings and coving.

How do the roles of a painter and a decorator differ?

A painter primarily focuses on applying paint to walls, ceilings, and surfaces, whereas a decorator includes wallpapering, decorative finishes, and sometimes design input. Most professionals offer both services.

Should you hire a professional painter and decorator or do it yourself?

Hiring a professional saves time, improves finish quality, and reduces the risk of costly mistakes. DIY may seem cheaper, but poor preparation and errors can lead to more expense long-term.

Is there a high demand for painters and decorators in the UK right now?

Yes. Renovation trends, property sales, and a growing focus on home improvement continue to drive strong demand, especially in cities like London.

What’s the usual time it takes to train as a painter and decorator?

Training typically takes 2–3 years, whether through college, apprenticeships or NVQ courses. Many also build skills through practical experience.

Are decorators expected to supply their own paint and materials?

It depends. Some clients provide paint, while others expect the decorator to supply all materials and include that in the quote. Always clarify this in advance.

What factors make professional painting and decorating services costly?

Pricing is influenced by preparation time, surface condition, material costs, detail complexity, job size, and access difficulties (e.g. high ceilings or exterior work).

What’s the usual timeframe to decorate a three-bedroom home?

It typically takes 5–7 working days, depending on the number of decorators, wall condition, drying times, and whether ceilings and woodwork are included.

Is it okay to paint directly on top of wallpaper?

While possible, it’s not ideal. Paint may not adhere well and can highlight seams. For best results, remove wallpaper and prep the surface underneath.

Is spray painting better than brush painting for kitchen cabinets?

Spray painting typically offers a smoother, more professional finish with no visible brush marks—ideal for modern kitchen cabinets. It’s faster and more consistent across large, flat surfaces. Brush painting, however, can be better for detailed or hard-to-reach areas.

Which areas of the home benefit most from spray painting?

Spray painting is perfect for kitchen cabinets, built-in wardrobes, and furniture like sideboards or dressers. These areas benefit from the seamless finish that only spraying can achieve.

What are the latest kitchen cabinet colour trends for 2025?

Popular choices include muted greens, warm neutrals, and soft charcoal tones—designed to bring depth, warmth, and sophistication to modern kitchens.

What colour schemes work best for contemporary homes?

Modern homes often use a combination of earthy tones, deep blues, and off-whites. These work beautifully across walls, woodwork, and feature furniture.

I want to repaint my kitchen—where should I begin?

Start with identifying what needs updating: cabinets, walls, or furniture. Then choose a cohesive colour scheme and decide whether spray painting or traditional methods suit your needs best.

What are the benefits of spray painting for both homes and businesses?

Spray painting is not only time-efficient but offers a more professional finish. It’s great for refreshing kitchens, furniture, shop interiors, or office spaces—without the mess of traditional painting.

Is it worth hiring professionals for interior painting instead of doing it yourself?

DIY can be cost-effective, but hiring pros ensures better prep, cleaner edges, faster turnaround, and long-lasting results—especially for spray-painted kitchens or complex areas.

When should I repaint the outside of my house?

Watch for peeling, fading, cracks, or weather damage. If your exterior looks tired or hasn’t been painted in 7–10 years, it’s probably time for a refresh.

What’s typically involved in an exterior house painting job?

Exterior painting includes surface preparation (washing, sanding, filling), priming, and painting with weather-resistant coatings. It may also involve scaffolding for hard-to-reach areas.

How do I maintain the exterior paintwork on my home in Chelsea or other London areas?

Regularly inspect for cracking, mildew, or peeling. Clean surfaces annually and touch up worn areas to prevent weather-related damage and maintain kerb appeal.
