Reviews
From our happy customers.
The team did an incredible job repainting our entire Victorian house interior. They were particularly meticulous with the detailed cornicing in our living room and hallway. The color matching for our period features was spot-on, and they even helped us choose the perfect shade for our master bedroom. Clean, professional, and always on time.
Margaret, Monkwearmouth
Cannot praise these painters enough! They completely transformed our kitchen and dining room with a fresh color scheme. The prep work was thorough, and they protected all our furniture perfectly. Even fixed some cracks in the walls before painting. The team was friendly and respectful throughout the whole process.
David, Monkwearmouth
Had our entire house exterior painted, including window frames and front door. Despite some typical North East weather, they managed to complete the job on schedule. The attention to detail was impressive - they even color-matched our garage door to the new scheme. Very reasonable price for such high-quality work.

Interior Painting Services
We are your local painting experts in Monkwearmouth and Sunderland. Our team knows the area well, from the old Victorian houses by the river to the new homes near St. Peter's. Living near the coast means special care is needed when painting. We know exactly how to handle these local conditions to make your paint job last longer.
Bedroom and Living Space Transformations
Your bedrooms and living rooms should feel just right. We help create spaces that are perfect for relaxing and feeling at home. We know that Monkwearmouth homes get different amounts of light throughout the day. That's why we choose the best paint finish for each room. We can use shiny paint to brighten dark rooms, or flat paint to make large rooms feel cozy.
Window Frame Refinishing
Living by the sea means your window frames need extra care. We prepare them properly and use tough paints that can handle the damp air. You can keep your current colors or pick new ones. We'll help you choose colors that look great with your home's style, inside and out.
Kitchen Cabinet Transformation
Get a new-looking kitchen without spending a fortune. Many homeowners in Monkwearmouth have saved money by letting us paint their cabinets instead of replacing them. We use special cabinet paint that looks factory-fresh and lasts for years. It's perfect for busy kitchens.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Modernisation
Many local homes built in the 70s and 80s have outdated popcorn ceilings. We can remove these bumpy ceilings and make them smooth and modern. We're careful to contain all the dust during removal. Then we give you a clean, fresh ceiling that makes your whole room look better.
Garage Interior Solutions
Your garage deserves attention too. Whether you store things there, use it as a workshop, or want to make it into a living space, we can help. We use special paints that work well in garages, where temperature and moisture levels change often. We can make your garage bright and clean, giving you more usable space in your home.
Popular Colours in Monkwearmouth
The colors used in Monkwearmouth homes show the area's history and modern style. These colors work well with the local buildings and seaside setting.
Oxford Blue
This deep blue is perfect for Victorian terraced houses in Monkwearmouth. It looks great on front doors and window frames. The color stands out nicely against red brick walls. Many homes near St. Peter's Church use this classic shade.
Portland Stone
This warm off-white is common on newer homes by the River Wear. It makes buildings look bright and welcoming. Portland Stone fits well with the coastal feel. Many homeowners pair it with dark gray or navy blue on their windows and doors.
Sage Mist
This soft green is growing more popular both inside and outside Monkwearmouth homes. Inside, it works well in sunrooms and living rooms of semi-detached houses. It helps create a peaceful feel between the garden and home. Outside, it looks good on modern house walls, especially near green spaces.
Stone Beige
This neutral color is a top pick for inside Victorian homes in Monkwearmouth. It's a mix of gray and beige that makes rooms feel warm. The color works well with both old features and new furniture. Many people use it in living rooms and hallways.
Exterior Painting Services
Living by the North Sea means your home needs extra protection from salty air. Monkwearmouth has many different types of homes - from old Victorian houses to newer builds. Each one needs special care to keep its unique look while staying protected from our coastal weather.
Surface Preparation: Getting it Right
We start by making sure your walls are ready for paint. First, we clean off all the salt, algae, and dirt that builds up near the coast. Then we sand everything smooth and add primer, taking extra care on walls that face wind and rain. This helps the paint stick better and last longer in our tough North East weather.
Fence and Gate Painting
Your fences and gates need good protection too. We use special paints that work well in salty air, whether we're painting wooden fences or metal gates. These tough paints keep your property's boundaries looking good all year round.
Exterior Door Painting
Your front door is the first thing people see. We use strong marine-grade paints that won't fade or peel in harsh weather. Whether you have an old Victorian door or a modern one, we'll make it look great while keeping it protected from the elements.
Comprehensive House Painting
We take care of all your home's outside walls. Our masonry paints are picked specially for homes near the sea. We know how to work with all types of walls found in Monkwearmouth, from brick to modern render. Each surface gets the right treatment to make the paint last.
We use our local knowledge and painting skills to make your home look beautiful. More importantly, we make sure it stays protected from our unique coastal weather.

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 area is, what condition the walls are in, what type of paint we need, and how much prep work is needed. Older homes near Roker or Monkwearmouth often need more work to prepare the surfaces. We'll give you a free quote after we look at your home.
How long can I expect a painting project to take?
One room usually takes 1-2 days to prep and paint, including drying time. Bigger jobs, like painting the outside of a house, take several days. The weather in Sunderland can affect how long outdoor painting takes.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have full insurance that covers both public liability and professional work. Your property is protected while we work.
Do you offer free estimates for painting services in Sunderland?
Yes, we give free estimates for all painting jobs in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, and nearby areas. Our quotes show all costs and work needed.
Do you handle the preparation work, such as sanding and priming, before painting?
Yes, we do all the prep work needed. This includes cleaning, sanding, filling holes, and priming. We're careful with homes near the coast that might have damage from salt air and moisture.
How do you protect my furniture and home from paint splatters?
We use special covers and protective sheets to keep your furniture and floors safe. We seal off work areas to keep paint and dust from spreading.
What if it rains on the outdoor painting day?
We check the weather forecast carefully. If it rains, we can often work inside instead. We plan outdoor work around Sunderland's weather patterns.
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. As long as we can get into the areas we need to paint, we can work while you're away.
Should I move my furniture and belongings before you start painting?
If you can move small items, that helps. We can help move bigger furniture pieces and will protect them during painting.
