What we do
Five services. One standard.
Every job gets the same level of preparation, the same quality of material, and the same clean finish. Starting prices below.
01
Interior Painting
Walls, ceilings, woodwork. Prep that you will not see but will feel in the finish.
Every interior job starts the same way: surfaces assessed, imperfections filled, and everything masked before a brush or roller touches a wall. We use Crown Trade and Dulux Heritage on most domestic projects, with Farrow & Ball and Little Greene where clients specify. New plaster gets a mist coat. Stained ceilings get shellac-based primer. The right primer for the surface, every time. Then two full coats minimum, cut-in by hand, with roller technique chosen to match the finish required.
What is included
- Full surface preparation and filling
- Mist coat on new plaster
- Shellac primer on stained or nicotine ceilings
- Two full coats of client-specified paint
- Cut-in edges by hand
- All masking, dust sheets, and protection included
- Leftover paint labelled and left with you
02
Exterior Painting
Front doors to full facades. Weather-matched paint systems for the East Midlands.
Exterior work in the East Midlands demands paint systems built for damp autumns and frozen winters. We use masonry paints rated for the climate, with appropriate primers for bare render, pebbledash, and brick. Front doors get Farrow & Ball exterior eggshell or Zinsser oil-based primer plus Dulux Trade for durability. We do not rush exterior work. Surfaces get cleaned, any blown render repaired, and cracks filled with flexible exterior filler before we pick up a brush.
What is included
- Surface assessment and preparation
- Flexible exterior filler on cracks
- Weather-appropriate masonry paint system
- Front door and woodwork in oil-based eggshell
- Soffits, fascias, and guttering painted if required
- Full masking and garden protection
03
Wallpapering
Pattern matching, feature walls, heritage papers. Hung with zero bubbles.
Wallpapering is the trade skill that separates decorators from painters who also hang paper. Pattern matching on large-repeat papers requires planning before the first strip goes up. We have hung Cole & Son, Zoffany, Sanderson, and most of the major heritage paper houses. Feature walls in Edwardian semis in Sherwood or full-room wallpaper in new-builds in Gamston, the approach is always the same: plumb lines set, walls sized if needed, and every seam joined invisibly.
What is included
- Wall preparation and sizing
- Pattern matching planned before work begins
- All major paper brands accepted
- Feature walls or full-room hanging
- Seams checked and pressed on completion
- Removal of old wallpaper if required (quoted separately)
04
Colour Consultation
Not sure what works? We bring the swatches, the experience, and the confidence so you do not have to guess.
Most decorating mistakes happen before any paint is mixed. A colour that looks right on a small chip in a bright showroom can completely change character on four walls of a north-facing bedroom. Our consultation service is a proper visit: we assess the light, the floor, the fixtures, the furniture, and then we work through options together using full A4 drawdown samples and our own fan decks from Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, and Dulux Heritage. You leave with three confident colour choices and a written scheme. The £75 fee comes off any subsequent job.
What is included
- In-home visit of up to 2 hours
- Up to 3 rooms covered
- Full A4 sample drawdowns in your space
- Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, and Dulux Heritage fan decks
- Written colour scheme with brand and code references
- Advice on finishes: matt, eggshell, satin
- Fee deducted from project if booked
05
Period Property Restoration
Cornicing, dado rails, lime wash. Sympathetic work that respects the original character.
Victorian terraces on Alfreton Road. Edwardian semis in Sherwood. Georgian townhouses in the Park Estate. Nottingham has exceptional period housing stock and it deserves decorators who understand it. Original cornicing gets cleaned, not caulked into oblivion. Lime-washed walls get lime-compatible finishes, not modern emulsions that trap moisture. Sash windows get the correct oil-based primer sequence. We work with the fabric of old buildings rather than against it, and we will tell you when something needs a specialist beyond decorating.
What is included
- Cornice cleaning and careful preparation
- Lime wash and lime-compatible paint systems
- Oil-based primer sequence for original joinery
- Matching heritage paint colours to existing schemes
- Advice on historically appropriate finishes
- Liaison with conservation officers where required
