Reviews
From our happy customers.
The team did an amazing job repainting our entire house exterior and refreshing our living room and kitchen. They were incredibly neat, always on time, and took extra care around our garden plants. The color advice they gave us for our exterior really helped modernize the look of our home. Couldn't be happier with the result!
Margaret, Ouston
Had my master bedroom and en-suite bathroom painted last month. The attention to detail was impressive - perfect cutting in around fixtures and spotless finish. They completed everything in just two days and left no mess behind. The paint they recommended for the bathroom has held up brilliantly against moisture.
David, Ouston
We needed our hallway, stairs and landing decorated after years of wear and tear. The team stripped all the old wallpaper, prepared the walls perfectly, and applied a beautiful paint finish. They even helped move and protect our furniture. Very friendly service and great value for money.

Exterior Painting Services
We provide expert exterior painting in Ouston and nearby Sunderland areas. We know the local houses well, from old brick terraces to new builds. Our team understands how North East weather affects paint, and we've created special methods to make our work last longer in this climate.
External Door Transformations
Your front door makes a first impression of your home. More Ouston homeowners are choosing bold colors that make their homes stand out while fitting in with the neighborhood. We start by checking weather strips and sanding the surface properly. Then we use top-quality exterior paints that won't fade or wear quickly. We make sure each coat dries fully, which is very important in our damp weather.
Decking and Fence Care
North East weather can damage wooden outdoor structures. We protect your decking and fences using strong stains and treatments that soak deep into the wood. These products guard against rain, frost, and sun damage. Before we start, we check the wood carefully and fix any problems we find.
Window Frame Enhancement
Ouston homes have both wooden and modern window frames. We know how to paint all types and use different methods for each material. We fix any rot or damage first, then apply paint that looks good and protects against our coastal weather.

Fences and gates need to look good while doing their job. We clean them thoroughly and fix any damage before painting. We use paints and stains that can handle our weather and match your home's colors.
All our work is done with great care and knowledge of local conditions. We pick the best products for North East weather to keep your exterior paint looking fresh and protected for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the estimated cost to have my Sunderland home painted?

Things like high ceilings or fancy woodwork can change the cost too. We'll give you a free quote that covers all the details.

One room usually takes 1-2 days to prep and paint. A whole house inside might take 5-7 days. Outside painting takes 3-5 days if the weather is good. We'll tell you exactly how long your project will take when we first meet.
