Painting & decorating

Interior painting

Refresh tired walls, change the mood of a room or give your home a consistent finish throughout. Painting covers walls, ceilings, doors, skirting boards and other painted woodwork.

From a single feature wall to several rooms, tell us about the surfaces and colours you have in mind.

Exterior painting

Freshen up exterior walls and painted timber, or give fences, sheds and decking some attention. Suitable preparation and finishes depend on the material and its existing condition.

We’ll discuss access, the surfaces and suitable weather before agreeing the work.

Wallpaper removal & surface preparation

Removing old wallpaper, filling small holes and cracks, and preparing surfaces helps create a sound starting point for decorating. We’ll agree the preparation needed for your chosen finish, from a straightforward refresh to more thorough filling, sanding and smoothing. Woodwork, doors and skirting receive the same attention before repainting.

We use sanding equipment connected to dust extraction to keep dust and mess to a minimum. Any dust from hand sanding is vacuumed up straight away, keeping the work area tidy as we go.

The right products for the finish

I use premium trade-quality paints, with primers and sealers selected for the surface and the coating going over them. Choosing a suitable system helps each stage of the work support the next.

Quality tools, suitable brushes and the right roller pile for the paint and surface all play their part. The materials and level of preparation will be discussed with you before work begins.

Handyman & home improvements

Flat-pack assembly

Get wardrobes, beds, desks and drawers assembled and ready to use. Furniture assembly can also include fitting suitable anti-tip brackets to secure items to the wall.

Send the make or product details and tell us where the furniture will go so we can assess the assembly and fixing requirements.

Shelves, mirrors & more

Help with putting up shelves, pictures and mirrors, fitting curtain poles and blinds, and mounting televisions with suitable brackets and fixings.

The wall construction, item weight and fixing position will be checked before installation. Mention the size and type of item in your enquiry.

Handles, hinges & adjustments

Replacing door handles, hinges and latches, changing cupboard handles, and adjusting sticking doors or cupboard doors can make everyday use easier.

We also fit suitable draught-proofing strips and replacement uPVC seals, subject to checking the correct profile and fit.

Silicone renewal

Replace tired silicone around baths, showers and sinks for a neater finish. The job includes removing the old sealant and preparing the area before resealing.

Tell us if there is a leak or damage nearby so we can establish whether the underlying problem needs attention before resealing.
