Reviews
From our happy customers.
The team did a wonderful job repainting our entire house interior. They were particularly careful with our period features and cornicing, taking extra time to ensure clean lines. The living room and hallway look stunning with the heritage colours they helped us choose. Very tidy workers who cleaned up properly each day.
Margaret, Ashbrooke
Had my kitchen, dining room and master bedroom painted. The attention to detail was impressive - they even noticed and fixed some cracks in the walls before painting. The team arrived on time every day and finished exactly when they said they would. Really pleased with the results.
David, Ashbrooke
Finally got around to having our house exterior painted and couldn't be happier with the result. The team pressure washed everything first and properly prepared all surfaces. They painted all woodwork, window frames and rendered walls. Even our neighbours have commented on how good it looks. Worth every penny.

Exterior Painting Services
Ashbrooke is known for its beautiful Victorian and Edwardian homes. These special buildings need expert care when it comes to painting. We know exactly how the North East weather affects different building materials. Our team has proven ways to make paint last longer on Ashbrooke homes.
Surface Preparation: The Key to Success
Getting the surface ready is very important in Ashbrooke's sea air. First, we power wash to clean off dirt and mess. Then we look closely for any damage. We sand down rough spots and fix any problems we find. Every surface gets proper primer before painting. This careful prep work stops paint from peeling off later.
uPVC Spraying: A Modern Fix
Many Ashbrooke homes have uPVC windows and doors that can fade over time. Instead of replacing them, we can spray them with special paint. This costs less and keeps your home looking fresh. We use the right tools and paints to make your uPVC any color you want.
Protecting Fences and Gates
Your property's fences and gates are just as important as the house itself. We use tough paints and stains that last a long time. Many gates and railings in Ashbrooke are from the Victorian era. We take extra care with these old features to keep their historic look.
Weather-Proof Finishes
Living near the North Sea means homes face tough weather. We use special waterproof paints that protect against rain, wind, and salty air. These paints create a strong shield for your home. They can handle temperature changes while keeping your house safe and looking good.
We shape our painting service to deal with all the challenges Ashbrooke homes face. This means your home will look great and stay protected from our local weather.
Local Expertise
Ashbrooke is one of Sunderland’s most historic and well-known areas. It is filled with beautiful Victorian and Edwardian homes, large family houses, and modern flats. Many homes in this area have unique features like bay windows, high ceilings, and decorative woodwork. These require careful preparation and specialist finishes to protect their character.
We understand exactly how to paint and decorate homes in Ashbrooke. Whether it’s a family home, rental property, or student accommodation, we use the best materials and techniques for a long-lasting, high-quality finish.
🏡 Painting That Matches Ashbrooke’s Homes
Many properties in Ashbrooke are older buildings with period details. These need breathable, moisture-resistant paints to stop damp from becoming a problem. We use specialist primers and finishes to help these homes stay in great condition.
For modern flats and rental properties, we offer easy-to-maintain, durable finishes. Sunderland’s rental market has grown, with 14.8% of homes now privately rented. Landlords need scuff-resistant, washable paints that keep interiors fresh between tenants. We help them choose the best colours and materials for long-lasting results.
🌦️ Protecting Homes From Sunderland’s Weather
Ashbrooke’s weather can be wet, windy, and unpredictable, especially from October to March. Sunderland’s coastal climate brings strong winds of up to 17.1 mph and frequent rain. These conditions can cause peeling paint, damp patches, and worn-out exteriors.
To keep homes well-protected, we use:
- Weatherproof masonry paints to prevent damage from rain.
- Strong primers and sealants to stop moisture getting in.
- Flexible coatings that move with temperature changes, preventing cracks.
Our painting techniques help protect homes from harsh weather while keeping them looking great.
🎨 Interior Painting That Fits Every Home
Different types of homes in Ashbrooke need different decorating styles. We provide expert painting for:
- Traditional Homes – We use classic colours that match the home’s original features.
- Modern Flats – We choose light, neutral tones to create a bright and stylish space.

We make sure every home gets a high-quality finish that suits its style, age, and purpose.
