Reviews
From our happy customers.
The painters did an amazing job transforming our living room and hallway. They were so careful with our furniture and carpets, laying down covers everywhere. The attention to detail on the coving was particularly impressive. They arrived on time every day and cleaned up perfectly after finishing. The colour matching service they offered helped us pick the perfect shade for our space. Would definitely recommend!
Sarah, Boldon Colliery
Had our entire upstairs painted including three bedrooms and the landing. The team was professional from start to finish. They helped patch up some old wallpaper damage before painting and the finish is flawless. Really pleased with how they managed to work around our family schedule and complete everything within the promised timeframe. Fair price for great quality work.
Michael, Boldon Colliery
What a difference! Our kitchen and dining room look brand new after having them painted. The team suggested a special paint for the kitchen that's moisture resistant - something we hadn't even considered. They were friendly, trustworthy, and their preparation work was thorough. Even painted behind all the appliances. Couldn't be happier with the result.

Popular Colours in Boldon Colliery
Boldon Colliery homeowners are choosing colours that match both old and new parts of our area. These colours work well with our mining history and modern homes. Here are the most popular colours in our community:
Sage Green (Sage Mist) - Exterior
This gentle green is perfect for Victorian terraced houses in Boldon Colliery. It looks great on bay windows and stone details that many old houses have. Many people also use it on modern extensions that face their gardens. It helps blend the house with garden greenery.
Warm White - Interior
This colour is great for our smaller terraced houses. It makes rooms feel brighter and keeps them cosy. It works really well in dark hallways and north-facing rooms. It also shows off original features like ceiling roses that many local homes still have.
Midnight Navy - Exterior
This deep blue is popular for front doors and window frames. You'll see it a lot near Boldon Business Park. It looks striking against brick and stone walls while keeping the traditional look of our area.

This soft pink is becoming more popular in bedrooms and home offices. It's perfect for loft rooms and dormer windows that many local homes have. It makes small spaces feel warm without being too bright.
Charcoal Ash - Exterior
