Decorating in Kingston upon Thames.
Spec-grade prep. Two-coat finish. Fixed price.

Decorating in Kingston upon Thames.
Kingston upon Thames is a large South West London borough with a varied housing stock, from Victorian terraces in Surbiton to 1930s family homes further out.
Period London terraces and semis typically need preparation work before any paint or paper goes on — crack repairs, cornicing re-caulking and priming of previously untreated surfaces. We price the preparation as a separate line in the quote so it is agreed before the job starts.
The property stock here is predominantly Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and detached family homes. Kingston upon Thames is one of our most active areas for kitchen fitting, bathroom fitting and flooring — all frequently commissioned together.
Decorating done properly.
What makes our decorating work different from a standard quote in Kingston upon Thames.
Preparation is the job
Most paint failures are preparation failures. We fill, sand and prime every surface before painting. The two coats go on last — not first.
Dulux Trade and Farrow & Ball
We have trade accounts with both. You choose the finish and we supply at trade price, or we can match any colour in Dulux Trade if you prefer.
Fixed price after a free survey
We survey every job before quoting. No day rates, no estimates — a fixed price for the specific scope of work agreed.
12-month guarantee
If paint peels, cracks or fails in the first 12 months attributable to our work, we return and repaint at no cost.
