The trades people actually see
Painting, plastering, render, mouldings and window furnishings — the finishing work that decides how a property looks and what it feels like to walk into.
Finishes are where corners get noticed. A wavy wall, a rushed cut-in or mismatched render undoes otherwise good work. Our finishing work runs from straightforward repaints through to decorative plaster, period mouldings and heritage render repair, inside and out.
Render falling from a facade or a cracked window pane is a safety issue, not a finishing job — report it through the urgent damage page so it can be made safe first.

The process
Photos are usually enough to quote a repaint; render, plaster and heritage work generally needs an inspection to check the substrate.
The quote specifies preparation, products and number of coats — not just 'painting' — so you can compare it fairly against others.
Surfaces are repaired, sanded and primed properly before any finish goes on. Furniture and floors are protected throughout.
Work is inspected with you in good light, touch-ups are completed, and the space is left clean and ready to use.
FAQs
