Interior Decoration

Interiors

Painting and decorating is one of the most undervalued trades, simply because everyone thinks they can do it for themselves.

A really good interior decorator can transform an unattractive house, while a bad decorator can ruin a lovely one. This is the one area where people think they can cut costs – often with disastrous results! Painting and decorating a house involves excellent preparation, hard physical labour and the skilled application of quality materials.

We understand that painting and decorating people’s homes requires not just care and attention but respect. It’s after all your home and not a building site. That’s why we take extra care to protect your furnishings and floor covering and to minimise any disruption to you and your family.

We understand that picking a colour to decorate your space can be a difficult process. We can provide a personal touch and a friendly face to those that find it a challenge – for what should be an otherwise enjoyable experience.

Hand Painted Floors

Hand painted floor’s became popular in the early 18th century, from simple one colour to very elaborate designs.
Painting floor boards often require less preparation which can make them a more cost effective option compared to natural wood varnishing.

Hand painted Kitchens & Wardrobes

Nearly most kitchen cabinets can be painted with the right preparation. We can remove old handles and make good, leaving you the option to fit new handles to create an entirely different and fresh look without the upheaval of having to install new cabinetry.

We can achieve an excellent finish applying the correct primer, before painting one undercoat and upto two top coats of premium, water-based paint in your choice of colours. This results in a stunning seamless finish that coordinates with your colour scheme for the rest of your kitchen.

Wallpaper Hanging

Wallpaper became a very popular decorative finish in the first half of the 20th century. Apart from offering an attractive finish wallpaper was used to hide a multitude of sins (poor plastering, cracks in the walls and other imperfections in the walls).

By the latter half of the 20th century paper hanging had gone pretty much out of fashion, this has lead to many decorators losing the knowledge and skill to carry out successful and durable paper hanging. Often the results of poor wallpapering do not reveal themselves in their full horror until sometimes weeks or months after completion.

Sash Windows

Timber sash windows help to maintain the traditional appearance of a home and as a consequence are often particularly sought after by home buyers. Poorly maintained sash windows can be a pain and will reduce the sale-ability of your property and inevitably lower it’s value. You cannot ignore the condition of their decoration, as if sash windows are left exposed to the element for long periods of time they will suffer from flaking paintwork and missing putty, which creates the ideal environment for moisture to penetrate the underlying timber leading to expensive to repair rot and decay.

Painting sash windows is a job best left to a professional if you want to achieve a durable long lasting finish and avoid sticking or jammed windows.

It’s very much a specialist job, due to the intricacies of sash window frames there are a lot of hard to get to area timber that are obstructed by other members of the frame. Perfect preparation and the skilled application of quality materials is essential due to the way in inner sash and out sash frames tightly fit together.
