What we do

Decorating, done the slow way where it counts.

Most of a good finish is the work you never see. We take the time on filling, sanding and priming, then lay off every coat so it dries even.

Colour, before the brush

Find the mood before you pick the tin.

Hover or tap a shade to see how it sits in a panelled room. When you're ready, the planner below adds your mood to the room list.

Screens never show paint exactly. We paint sample patches on your own walls, in your own light, before you decide.

    Questions

    Good to know.

    Anything else, just ask. We'd rather answer a question now than surprise you later.

    How long does a room take?

    An average room often takes one to three days. It depends on how much preparation is needed, drying times and how many coats the colour needs.

    Do I need to empty the room?

    Clearing small things and valuables helps. Bigger furniture is usually moved to the middle and covered. We'll agree what needs moving before we start.

    Matt, eggshell or satinwood?

    Matt suits most walls and ceilings and hides small marks. Washable matt is good for hallways and family rooms. Eggshell and satinwood are tougher and wipeable, so they suit woodwork, kitchens and bathrooms.

    Do you work on older and listed homes?

    Yes. Older Bath homes often have lime plaster and old timber that need breathable paints. If your home is listed, check with the council before changing outside colours, as you may need consent.

    When is the best time for outside work?

    Usually late spring to early autumn. Paint needs dry surfaces and mild temperatures to cure, so we plan exterior work around the forecast.
