Reviews
From our happy customers.
Had the team paint our living room, dining room and hallway. They were incredibly professional and paid attention to every detail. The prep work was thorough, and they protected all our furniture perfectly. The finish is absolutely beautiful - the colours we chose really pop and the cutting-in around the coving is spot-on. They cleaned up thoroughly after each day too. Couldn't be happier!
Sarah, Fulwell
The painters did an amazing job on the exterior of our house. They repainted all the masonry and did the window frames in a lovely cream colour that really brightens up the whole street. Despite some typical North East weather, they managed to work around the rain and got the job done efficiently. Very pleased with their punctuality and professionalism.
Michael, Fulwell
Got our kitchen and bathroom painted and they look brand new! The team helped us choose moisture-resistant paint for both rooms and advised on the best finishes. They worked quickly but carefully, making sure all fixtures were properly protected. Even painted inside our cupboards at no extra charge. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

Slate Blue
This colour is perfect for Fulwell's Victorian terraces and modern homes. It stands up well to seaside weather and looks smart all year round. It looks best on homes with bay windows, making a nice contrast with white frames and stone details.

This soft, natural green is loved by owners of semi-detached houses with gardens. It helps connect indoor and outdoor spaces nicely. The colour handles sea air well and matches local garden plants perfectly.
Charcoal Ash
This is a modern grey that's becoming more popular in new and updated homes. It's practical for homes near the coast and looks great. It works well on both painted walls and modern wall covers.
Interior Colours
Warm White
This is the most useful indoor colour for Fulwell homes. It makes the most of natural light, which is important in north-east weather. It works really well in older homes with high ceilings and bay windows, making rooms feel bright and friendly.
Mocha Mousse
This warm brown is great for living rooms and studies in bigger Fulwell homes. It makes rooms feel cosy during cold winters and looks lovely in sunny rooms. It's perfect for homes with old features, adding depth without being too strong.

Masonry Painting Expertise
Fulwell homes often have beautiful brick and stone walls that need special care. We use special breathable paints made just for these surfaces. First, we carefully prepare the walls. Then we apply tough weather-proof coatings that make your home look great and protect it from salty sea air and rain.

Has your uPVC gone dull or faded? We can spray it instead of replacing it - saving you money. We use special paints that stick well to uPVC and won't peel off. You can choose any colour you want, and it will stay looking fresh for years.
Soffit and Fascia Care
The parts under your roof need extra protection from sea spray and rain. We clean these areas thoroughly and fix any damage we find. Then we use special outdoor paints to protect these important parts of your roof structure.
We do all our work carefully and know what your home needs to handle the local weather. Our painting will make your Fulwell home look beautiful and stay protected for years to come.

Painting & Decorating in Sunderland
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the estimated cost to have my Sunderland home painted?
The cost of painting your Sunderland or Fulwell home depends on several things. We look at the size of the area and what condition the walls are in. The type of paint you choose and how much prep work is needed also affect the price. We consider if you're painting inside or outside, how many coats of paint are needed, and if there's any tricky work like high ceilings. Many older homes in Fulwell need special care too. We offer free consultations to give you an exact price for your home.
How long can I expect a painting project to take?
The time needed depends on your project's size and what prep work is needed. Weather also matters for outside painting. A normal room needs time for cleaning, fixing, and priming before painting starts. We might need to apply several coats of paint. Since Sunderland has coastal weather, we plan for proper drying time. We'll tell you exactly how long it will take when we first meet.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have full public liability and professional insurance. This protects both your property and our workers while we're doing the job.
Do you offer free estimates for painting services in Sunderland?
Yes, we give free, detailed estimates for all painting work in Sunderland, Fulwell, and nearby areas. We list all costs and work details so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you handle the preparation work, such as sanding and priming, before painting?
Yes, we do all prep work ourselves. This is very important in Sunderland's coastal climate. We clean surfaces, fill holes, and sand rough spots. We also fix any damp problems common in North East homes. We always prime surfaces before painting.
How do you protect my furniture and home from paint splatters?
We use special covers to protect everything. This includes dust sheets, furniture covers, and floor protection. We also use special tape and plastic sheets to keep paint off fixtures and fittings.
What if it rains on the outdoor painting day?
We check weather forecasts carefully because of Sunderland's changing weather. If rain is likely, we'll change the work date. We also protect any exposed areas from surprise weather changes.
Do I need to be home while the painting is in progress?
You can be home if you want, but you don't have to be. Once we know what you want, we can work while you're away. We'll take good care of your property and keep it secure.
Should I move my furniture and belongings before you start painting?
Moving big items to the room's center or out of the room helps us work faster. We'll tell you exactly what needs moving when we first visit.
Will Foxglove Decor provide all the necessary painting supplies?
Yes, we bring all the supplies needed. This includes prep materials, paints, brushes, rollers, and protective covers.
What brands and types of paint does Foxglove Decor use?
