Repairs that lead to a good finish

Many redecorating jobs start with something that needs putting right first: cracks, damaged plaster, marks, worn woodwork or old finishes that will not take new paint. This service is for decorating jobs where that preparation and repair is a significant part of the work.

We keep the scope clear. Where a job needs structural work, electrical, gas or plumbing work, or the treatment of damp, we say so and explain that another trade should deal with it before decorating. Several rooms, a whole floor or a complete property can be planned together, which can make the sequence of work simpler for you.

We also take enquiries from Gorleston-on-Sea, Caister-on-Sea and Lowestoft, and from the towns and villages around them.

How we work

How a repair and redecoration job runs

1

Assess the scope

We look at what needs repairing and redecorating and note anything that needs another trade.

2

Agree what is included

We explain what the quotation covers, what it does not, and the order the work will follow.

3

Repair and decorate

Decorative repairs and preparation are done first, then the finish coats, with the area left tidy.

Know what is, and is not, included

Repair first, then decorate

We keep the scope clear. If something needs a different trade before decorating, we say so, so you are never paying for a finish that will not last.

FAQs

Property improvement FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most often.

Still have a question?Call us or send the details and we will answer it, usually while talking through your job.

Can repairs be included with decorating?

Decorative repairs such as filling, patching and preparing surfaces can be part of a decorating job. If something needs structural or specialist work, we will say so.

Can you help refresh a rental?

Yes, you can ask us about redecorating between tenants. Tell us the number of rooms and their condition and we will explain what is practical.

Do I need another trade first?

Sometimes. If we find damp, structural movement or issues with services, those should be dealt with before decorating. We will tell you what we see and why.

Can work cover several rooms?

Yes. Several rooms, or a whole property, can be planned together. We agree the order and the access when we discuss the job.
