We also know how to make the walls easy to clean, which is very important in a nursery.
Kitchen Renovations
We help Castletown homeowners make their kitchens look new without spending too much money. We use special paints like Farrow & Ball's Modern Eggshell on cabinets. These paints stand up well to cooking and cleaning. We clean everything very well first. Then we use special primers and several coats of paint that resist moisture. We're good at matching wall colors to your counters and appliances. Many Castletown homes like our two-tone designs, where we use two colors together.

The painters did a fantastic job on our kitchen and dining room. They were punctual every day and worked efficiently to minimize disruption. They even helped suggest the perfect shade of grey for our kitchen walls. The finish is flawless and has completely refreshed our home. Very reasonable prices too!
Michael, Castletown
Had our entire house exterior painted and couldn't be happier with the results. The team took great care to prepare all surfaces properly, and their attention to detail was impressive. They even touched up our window frames at no extra cost. Weather delayed work for a day, but they kept us informed throughout. House looks brand new!

Interior Painting Services
Interior Brick Painting
Many Castletown homes have exposed brick walls, especially in older buildings. We turn these traditional brick walls into beautiful modern features. We use special brick paint that lets the walls breathe while giving great coverage. You can choose bright white for a fresh look or darker colors for a modern style. We always prep the surface properly and use the right painting methods.
Bathroom Painting
Bathrooms need special care because of moisture. We only use top-quality paints that fight off mold and mildew. This is very important for homes in the North East. We check the walls carefully before painting. Then we fix any damp spots and use special paint that handles steam and water splashes well.
Drywall Repair and Painting
We fix all wall problems before painting. This includes cracks, holes, and water damage. Many local homes have settled over time, which can cause wall damage. Our team matches the wall texture perfectly. After painting, you won't be able to spot where the repairs were made.
Deck Painting and Staining
We also paint and stain decks in conservatories and sun rooms. We use the best products to protect the wood from our North East weather. This keeps these indoor-outdoor spaces looking great all year round. Our work helps protect the wood while showing off its natural beauty.
We take great care with every painting job we do. We know what works best for homes in our area. Our methods are tested and proven to give the best results for Castletown homes.
Popular Colours in Castletown
Castletown residents near Sunderland have clear favourite colours for their homes. These choices work well with local buildings and match our seaside location. Here are the most popular colours our clients pick:
Sage Green (Sage Mist)
This gentle green is perfect for house exteriors in Castletown. It looks great on both semi-detached and detached homes. It's especially nice on 1930s houses with bay windows. We usually add white trim to make the details stand out better.
Dusky Blue
This calm blue is a hit for living rooms and bedrooms. It reminds people of our nearby coast and looks stunning in new and updated homes. It's great for rooms that face north because it makes them feel warmer and more welcoming.
Warm White
Many Castletown homeowners love this classic interior colour. It works really well in older houses by showing off their special features. It's perfect for open-plan living rooms in semi-detached houses. This shade also makes kitchens feel bright and spacious.
Midnight Navy
This deep blue is very popular for Victorian terraced houses. Many people use it for front doors and window frames where it looks great against brick walls. It also looks modern and smart on newer houses.
Charcoal Ash
This modern grey is perfect for updating 1970s homes. It works well with both brick and rendered walls. We often use it for garage doors and trim. It gives homes a fresh look while keeping their original style.
These colours are more than just trendy - they suit Castletown's building styles and coastal setting. Whether you want to update your home's outside or inside, these colours will make your property look better and could increase its value.
Exterior Painting Services
We know Castletown homes inside and out. From old red brick terraces to modern builds, each house needs its own special care. Being close to Sunderland and the coast means homes face tough weather and salty air. We know exactly how to protect your home from these local challenges.
Metalwork Protection
Living by the sea means metal rusts faster. We protect your gates, railings, and metal fixtures using special marine-grade paints. These paints fight off rust and stand up to salty coastal air. We prep the metal carefully, treat any rust, and add multiple protective layers to make the finish last.
Wall Repairs and Painting
We check your walls carefully before painting. Many Castletown homes get small cracks and damage over time. We fix all these problems first. Our team fills cracks, deals with damp spots, and gets walls smooth. This careful prep work stops future issues and makes the paint job look perfect.
Woodwork Protection
Wood needs extra care in our local weather. We treat and paint all wooden parts like window frames, doors, and features. Here's what we do:
- Sand and prep the wood
- Fix any damaged areas
- Add wood preservatives
- Use top-quality outdoor paints or stains
Surface Preparation
Good prep work makes paint last longer. We take these important steps:
- Power wash to clean surfaces
- Remove algae and moss
- Fix any damage
- Use the right primers
- Paint when weather permits
We make your home look great and keep it protected from local weather. We understand Castletown houses and what they need. This means your paint job will stay looking good for years to come.
Local Expertise
We are your local painting and decorating experts. We know exactly how to protect and beautify Castletown homes against our North East weather. We understand the local houses and what our community needs. This helps us deliver better, longer-lasting results on every job.
Understanding Our Coastal Climate
We work just minutes from the North Sea. This has taught us how to paint perfectly in Castletown's seaside weather. Our area gets 600-700mm of rain each year and lots of coastal winds. We use special moisture-resistant paints that can handle salt spray and high humidity. We plan outdoor work during the best weather conditions. We usually work in mild months when temperatures are 12-18°C. This helps the paint stick better and last longer.
Tailored Solutions for Local Housing
We have worked on all types of houses in Castletown. Each type of house needs different care. The early 1900s terraced houses need special heritage paints. These paints keep the historical look while protecting the house. We also work on post-war semi-detached homes with pebbledash walls. These need special coatings to stick well and resist weather.
We know how to work on newer homes too, especially along Hylton Lane. We understand what primers and finishes work best on uPVC surfaces. We know which breathable paints work well on Castletown's brick and rendered walls. This helps stop problems like damp and cracking.
Community-Focused Approach
Castletown has 4,000-5,000 residents. We have built strong relationships with local homeowners over the years. We know what colors people prefer here. Inside, most people choose warm, neutral colors that help keep house values high. Outside, we pick colors that match our North East setting.
Local Knowledge That Makes a Difference
We know Castletown's special challenges better than anyone. We know how to protect homes near the old Colliery sites. We understand what houses need around Castletown Primary School and Hylton Retail Park. We have special techniques for dealing with salt-air damage and rain driven by wind. Our work lasts longer because we know how to handle our tough coastal weather.
