Yes, Phil carries out both interior and exterior painting and decorating. Interior work includes rooms, ceilings, woodwork and skirtings. Exterior work covers painted render, masonry, timber fascias, soffits, windows and doors. Both start with proper surface preparation — the part of the job that determines how well the finish holds.
Every project is different — a single room is quicker than a full house, and an exterior repaint depends on the size and condition of the property. Rather than give you a generic estimate, get in touch and Phil will assess what's involved and give you a realistic picture. For current availability, contact us directly.
Preparation is the most important part of the job. Phil fills cracks and holes, sands surfaces, primes bare wood and new plaster, masks off fittings and floors, and treats any problem areas before any topcoat goes on. Rushing preparation is the main reason paintwork fails early — it's not a step that gets skipped.
Dustless sanding uses professional sanding equipment with integrated extraction that captures the vast majority of sanding dust at source rather than letting it drift through the property. The result is a flawless, even finish with minimal mess — your home stays far cleaner during the work, and you can get back to normal much sooner.
Yes. Phil hangs all types of wallpaper — vinyl, embossed, textured, grasscloth and traditional patterned papers — on feature walls and in full rooms. Walls are prepared properly before anything goes up: sized, and lined where the surface needs it. Pattern-matching on complex repeats is handled carefully so the room reads correctly from every angle.
Yes. A feature wall handled properly — with the right preparation, sharp edges and even coverage — changes the feel of a room significantly. Phil can advise on placement and colour if you'd find that helpful, and delivers a finish that looks confident and deliberate.
Yes. Phil takes on full decorating packages for renovation and refurbishment projects, working alongside other trades and adapting to what's found on site. Whether it's a flat being brought back into use or a larger property being overhauled, the decorating phase is handled to a consistent standard throughout.
Phil takes tidiness seriously — floors and surfaces are protected before work begins, masking is applied carefully, and the work area is cleaned up at the end of each day. Dustless sanding is used where relevant to keep airborne mess to a minimum. You should be able to live normally around the work as much as possible.
