Painting & Decorating in Bude

Based in Bude, covering North Cornwall & North Devon

A good paint finish is mostly down to what happens before the paint goes on. Filling, sanding, making good and protecting the room properly — that's where the time goes, and it's what makes the difference.

We decorate single rooms, whole houses and exteriors. Because we also plaster, we can deal with damaged walls properly instead of just painting over the problem.

What's included

  • Walls and ceilings
  • Woodwork: skirting, architrave, doors and frames
  • Filling, sanding and making good
  • Feature walls
  • Exterior decorating: masonry and suitable exterior surfaces
  • Exterior woodwork
  • Full room and whole-house redecoration

Preparation first

Cracks filled, holes made good, surfaces sanded and dust removed. Furniture moved or covered, floors protected. It's not the exciting part, but it's the part that decides whether the finish looks right in a year's time.

Stairs, halls and landings

Stairwells are awkward to reach and easy to put off, but they're often the space that makes the biggest difference to how a house feels when you walk in. They're also where plaster repairs, decorating and new carpet or flooring tend to come together — which we can handle as one job.

Exteriors on the coast

Salt air, wind and driving rain are hard on exterior paintwork here. Choosing suitable products and preparing surfaces properly matters more on the coast than inland. We'll talk you through the options before we start.
