Reviews
From our happy customers.
Had the whole exterior of our house painted and the living room/kitchen done inside. The team was so professional and tidy. They took extra care around our garden plants while doing the outside work and gave us great advice on colour choices for our kitchen. Very pleased with how it's all turned out - the house looks brand new!
Margaret, Copt Hill
The painters did a fantastic job on our bedrooms and hallway. They were very particular about preparing the surfaces properly and the finish is perfect. They even managed to fix some old cracks in our ceiling that had been bothering us for ages. Really friendly team who kept us updated throughout the project.
David, Copt Hill
Called them to paint our conservatory and dining room. They came out quickly to quote and got the job done within a week. The painters were punctual every day and cleaned up thoroughly after themselves. The paint finish is lovely and even - exactly what we wanted. Would definitely recommend to others in the area.

Local Expertise
Our Local Weather Knowledge
Copt Hill is close to the North Sea, which affects how we work. We get about 800-900mm of rain each year, and the air is often humid. We know how to handle this. We pick special water-resistant paints and use methods that work well in our coastal weather.
For outside painting, we work when the weather is best. This is usually from May to September when it's about 18-20°C. We also watch out for our local winds (usually 7-13 mph). We use quick-drying paints that work well even when it's windy.
Know-How for Local Houses
Copt Hill has many different types of houses. Each needs its own special care.
- For old stone-brick cottages, we use special breathable paints. These paints let the old walls handle moisture naturally. We've worked on many houses built before 1950, so we know how to treat their materials while keeping their old-time charm.
- For newer houses with modern walls, we use special protective coatings. These stop cracks and fading that often happen in our weather. We know just what products work best for each type of house in our area.
Taking Care of Our Community
Most people (80%) in Copt Hill own their homes. Many residents (21%) are over 65, and they like how careful and tidy we are. We also help lots of young professionals (18% of residents). They often want modern styles, and we know how to create these new looks.
Respecting Local History
We work near famous places like the Copt Hill Barrow. Many homeowners want traditional looks that match our area's history. We're good at matching old-style features and using heritage colors. We make houses look traditional while still using modern, high-quality materials.
