What we paint in Chelmsford.
Inside and out, big and small — if it takes paint, stain or paper, it's our job.
Walls and ceilings
Emulsion finishes for every room — matt, silk and durable scrubbable paints.
Garden timber
Fences, sheds, decking, pergolas and garden furniture, stained or painted.
Wallpaper
Hanging, pattern matching, stripping and lining — feature walls to whole houses.
Exterior surfaces
Render, masonry, cladding, fascias and front doors — weatherproofed properly.
Kitchens and cabinets
Sprayed factory-smooth finishes that transform kitchens without replacing them.
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 Chelmsford project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

- Furniture handled with care — Moved, centred and covered — and put back exactly where it was.
- Daily tidy-up — Tools packed, sheets folded, rooms liveable at the end of every day.
