What we paint in Darley.
If a brush, roller or spray gun can reach it, we finish it properly.
Wallpaper
Hanging, pattern matching, stripping and lining — feature walls to whole houses.
Garden timber
Fences, sheds, decking, pergolas and garden furniture, stained or painted.
Kitchens and cabinets
Sprayed factory-smooth finishes that transform kitchens without replacing them.
Exterior surfaces
Render, masonry, cladding, fascias and front doors — weatherproofed properly.
Walls and ceilings
Emulsion finishes for every room — matt, silk and durable scrubbable paints.
Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your Darley project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

When is the best time of year for exterior painting?
Late spring to early autumn — surfaces need to be dry and above roughly 10°C for paint to cure properly. We'll schedule around the forecast and tell you honestly if your job should wait.
How long does exterior paint last?
With proper prep and quality masonry paint, expect 5–15 years depending on exposure. Poor prep is why cheap jobs peel in a year — it's the part we refuse to skip.
Do you paint the whole outside of a house?
Yes — render, brick, pebbledash, cladding, windowsills, fascias, soffits, gutters and doors. We'll quote each element clearly so you choose what's included.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Darley?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Darley businesses and busy households alike.
How soon can you start in Darley?
Smaller Darley jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
Are you insured to work in Darley?
Yes — every job in Darley is carried out by decorators with public liability insurance. Need documentation for a landlord, agent or building manager? Just ask and we'll provide it.
