Three decades of painting and decorating in Northampton
Thirty-odd years of decorating teaches you a few things. Most of all, it teaches you that a good finish is decided before the lid comes off the tin. Cracks filled and sanded flat, gaps caulked, old gloss keyed, bare timber primed. That is the part nobody sees, and it is the part we take most seriously.
Dean works alongside a handpicked team of skilled craftsmen who share the same standards. People we trust to turn up when they say they will, protect your home and take care over the small details, like a straight line where the wall meets the ceiling or a door edge with no drips.
We also like to keep things straightforward for you. Having decorators in shouldn’t be stressful. You should know what is being done, when, and what it will cost, with no surprises along the way.
What we do

Most of our work is for homeowners, from a single bedroom to a whole house. One customer had us repaint a large four-bedroom home from top to bottom after we had finished their gates. Alongside that, we decorate commercial premises, including shopfronts.
- Interior painting of walls, ceilings, hallways, stairs and landings
- Exterior painting, including render, roughcast, fascias, soffits and rainwater pipes
- Wallpaper hanging and colour advice
- Decorative finishes such as faux effects and detailed work
- Doors, skirting, frames and other woodwork
- Staining timber gates and painting metal gates and railings
- Decorating new extensions and freshly plastered rooms
You can see the full list on our services page. We enjoy the jobs where quality meets a bit of creativity, whether that is a bold colour in a new open-plan kitchen extension or a set of hardwood gates brought back to life.
How we work
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Visit and quote | We come and look at the job, talk through what you want and send a free written quote. |
| 2. Preparation | Furniture moved and covered, floors sheeted, then filling, sanding, caulking and priming. |
| 3. Painting | Good-quality paints applied in the right number of coats for the surface. |
| 4. Tidy up | We clear up each day, remove all protection at the end and walk round the job with you. |
Outside, we plan around the weather and use the right access equipment for the height of the building. If something unexpected turns up, such as rotten timber or loose render, we stop and talk to you before going any further.

“Exterior decorating including fascias and soffits, rainwater pipes, stained timbers and white render prepared and decorated to a good finish, despite the intervention of storm Ciaran in the middle of the project. Dean worked quietly and tidily, using good-quality materials and appropriate access equipment.”
