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

Bedroom decorated in soft neutral tones
Bedroom decorated in soft neutral tones

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.

Who will actually do the work?

Dean and a handpicked team of skilled craftsmen carry out the work. Everyone works to the same standards on preparation, protection and tidiness, and the people on your job will depend on its size and timing. Either way, you will know who to expect before we start, and you can talk to us at any point.

How long has DH Painter & Decorator been going?

DH Painter & Decorator brings more than 30 years of experience in painting and decorating. Over that time we have worked on everything from single rooms and hallways to whole-house interiors, exteriors, gates, garages and commercial premises. That experience helps us give accurate quotes and spot problems early.

Do you work on both homes and businesses?

Yes. Most of our work is in people's homes, but we also decorate commercial premises including shopfronts, such as an estate agent's front. For businesses, we can talk about working around opening hours so trading carries on with as little disruption as possible.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes. We are happy to quote for smaller jobs such as a single room, a front door, a set of gates or a hallway, as well as larger projects. Small jobs can often be fitted in between bigger ones. Get in touch, tell us what you need and we will let you know when we could do it.

What customers say about Dean and the team

Most of our work comes from recommendations and returning customers. These are real reviews from customers after the job was finished, in their own words.

More customer reviews

I contacted Dean to get the outside of the house painted; the house is all roughcast render. He has done a fantastic job; the house is looking brand new. The same he did for our garage, painted our bedrooms x2, did extra jobs for us like skirtings and door frames, and painted even our gates. I could not recommend him enough; he is attentive, smiling, always on time, and nothing too much; I am so happy with what Dean has done; he went above and beyond. I have recommended him to all my friends and family.
