Reviews
From our happy customers.
Had the team paint our living room and hallway - they did an absolutely brilliant job! Very professional from start to finish. They helped us choose the perfect shade of grey for our walls and even suggested a lovely feature wall color that really brings the room together. Clean, tidy, and finished exactly when they said they would. Couldn't ask for better.
Sarah, Harton
The painters did an amazing job with our kitchen cabinets and walls. They took extra care to protect our appliances and flooring, and the finish is just perfect. They even fixed some minor wall damage before painting. Very friendly team who clearly take pride in their work. Will definitely use them again for our bedroom next year.
Michael, Harton
Recently had our entire house exterior painted and couldn't be happier with the results. The team worked through some challenging weather to get the job done on time. They were particularly careful with our garden plants and cleaned up thoroughly each day. The paint job has completely transformed the look of our house. Great attention to detail!

Popular Colours in Harton
A guide to the most popular colours chosen by Harton homeowners. These shades work well with local buildings and match our North East weather.
Exterior Colours
Pebble Grey
This smart grey is growing in popularity for both modern and older homes in Harton. It looks great on Victorian terraces and 1930s semi-detached houses. Many homeowners pair it with white windows and black doors. This mix creates a classic look that makes houses more appealing.
Oxford Blue
This deep blue is a hit with owners of older homes, like Victorian and Edwardian houses. It stands out beautifully on front doors and window frames. It works really well with red brick and sandstone walls. On newer homes, it makes a bold statement when used for smaller details.
Sage Green
This soft, natural green fits perfectly with Harton's suburban setting. It works best on detached homes and bungalows. It helps the house blend in with garden greenery. The colour looks especially good on bigger wall spaces. It changes nicely as the sunlight shifts throughout the day.
Interior Colours
Stone Beige
This warm neutral is very popular for living spaces in Harton, especially in older homes. It creates a cozy feel in rooms with bay windows. It works well with both old features and new furniture. It's perfect for rooms that face north, as it helps warm up the cooler light.
Wedgewood Blue
This classic British blue is making a comeback in Harton homes. Many people choose it for bedrooms and bathrooms in Victorian houses. It looks great next to original features. It's also becoming popular in modern kitchens, where it pairs well with white cupboards.
Antique Cream
This timeless cream is still a favourite for hallways and living rooms in period homes. It works really well in houses with decorative ceiling details. It makes rooms feel warm and bright - important for our North East weather. In rooms with high ceilings, it helps spaces feel grand but still cozy.
These colours blend Harton's old architecture with today's style trends. They create beautiful homes that stand the test of time and show off the area's special character.
Exterior Painting Services
Houses in Harton come in many styles, from old to new. Each type needs different painting approaches. We know the local area well and have worked on many homes here. We understand how the North East weather affects paint, especially near the coast.
uPVC Spraying
Many Harton homes have uPVC windows and doors that can look old and faded. Instead of replacing them, we can spray them with special paint that sticks well to plastic. We can change white frames to modern grey or black. Our paint job lasts for years, even in tough coastal weather.
Pebbledash Painting
You'll see lots of pebbledash homes in Harton, especially from the 1950s and 60s. We know exactly how to paint these rough surfaces properly. We use strong masonry paint made just for pebbledash. It keeps water out but lets the wall breathe, which stops damp problems in our wet climate.
Masonry Painting
For brick and stone houses in Harton, we use special breathable paints. We look at each wall carefully to choose the right paint. Whether it's red brick, sandstone, or modern surfaces, we make sure the paint looks good and protects your walls from our changing weather.
Soffit and Fascia Painting
The parts under your roof need good care too. We paint soffits and fascias to stop water damage and rot. This is really important in our damp, coastal area. We fix any problems first, then use tough paint that stands up to rain and wind.
Exterior House Painting
We can paint your whole house from top to bottom. First, we clean everything with power washers. Then we fix any damage and use primer where needed. We only use high-quality paints that work well in local weather. We help you pick colors that look good on your house and fit in with other homes nearby.
Local Expertise
Understanding Harton's Weather Challenges
Harton's weather can be tough on house paint. We get about 900mm of rain each year. The air is usually very humid, between 75-85%. We carefully plan when to do outdoor work. We also pick special materials that handle moisture well.
- Living by the sea means salty winds can damage paint.
- We only use special marine-grade paints for outside work.
Special Care for Harton's Older Homes
Our town has many different types of houses. About 30-40% are beautiful Victorian and Edwardian terraces. These older homes need special paint that lets them breathe. This stops moisture from getting trapped.
- We also work on many 1930s-1950s semi-detached homes (about 30-35%).
- These often have pebbledash walls, and we know exactly how to treat these surfaces to protect them from our North East weather.
Understanding Our Local Community
About 70% of people in Harton own their homes. This is higher than the UK average. Many of our customers are older residents (20-25% of the area).

- We know local people earn between £25,000-£35,000 on average.
- So we offer top-quality work at fair prices.
Smart Weather Planning
We know the best times to paint in Harton. Late spring to early autumn works best for outside jobs. The perfect temperature is between 12-18°C.
- We use fast-drying paints that can handle our weather.
- This helps us work well even though we only get about 1,500 hours of sunlight each year.

Painting & Decorating in Sunderland
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the estimated cost to have my Sunderland home painted?
The cost depends on a few main things. These include how big the space is, what shape the walls are in, what kind of paint you choose, and how much prep work is needed. It also matters if you're painting inside or outside. A room with damaged walls will cost more than one in good shape. We'll visit your home and give you a free, detailed quote that fits your specific needs.
How long can I expect a painting project to take?
The time needed changes based on the size of the area and how much prep work is needed. Weather also matters for outside painting. A normal-sized room usually takes 1-2 days to finish. Bigger jobs might take longer. We'll tell you exactly how long it should take when we first meet.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have full public liability and professional insurance. This covers both you and your property throughout the North East, including Harton and Sunderland. We can show you our insurance papers if you'd like to see them.
Do you offer free estimates for painting services in Sunderland?
Yes, we give free, detailed estimates for all painting work in Harton, Sunderland, and nearby areas. Our estimates list all costs and work clearly so you know exactly what you're getting.
Do you handle the preparation work, such as sanding and priming, before painting?
Yes, we handle all prep work. This includes cleaning surfaces, sanding, filling holes, fixing damp spots, and using primers. Good prep work is very important for a lasting finish, especially in the North East's weather.
How do you protect my furniture and home from paint splatters?
We use heavy-duty dust sheets and floor covers to protect everything. We either move furniture or cover it completely. We use special tape to protect woodwork and fixtures. Our team is very careful to keep your home clean while we work.
What if it rains on the outdoor painting day?
We check the weather forecast carefully for outdoor work in Harton and Sunderland. If it rains unexpectedly, we have backup plans. We only paint when the weather is right. We'll reschedule outdoor work at no extra cost if needed.
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 agree on the work and can get in, we can do the job whether you're there or not. We'll keep you updated and make sure your home is secure.
Should I move my furniture and belongings before you start painting?
It helps if you can move small items and valuable things. We can move bigger furniture for you. We'll talk about what needs moving when we first meet.
