Reviews
From our happy customers.
The team did an amazing job repainting our living room and hallway. They were incredibly professional and took great care protecting our furniture and floors. The color matching was perfect, and they even helped us choose the right finish for each room. Clean, efficient, and friendly service from start to finish.
Margaret, Seaham
Had my entire upstairs painted, including three bedrooms and the landing. The painters were punctual every day and worked meticulously, especially around the detailed Victorian coving in our master bedroom. They even fixed some minor cracks in the walls before painting. Couldn't be happier with the results.
David, Seaham
What a difference! Had my kitchen and dining room painted last week. The team suggested a moisture-resistant paint for the kitchen which was something I hadn't considered. They completed the job in just two days, leaving everything spotless. The finish is beautiful and has really brightened up both rooms.

Popular Colours in Seaham
Seaham's coastal setting and mining history have shaped the most popular colors used in local homes. These colors work well with both the seaside location and Victorian buildings.

Exterior Painting Services
Living in Seaham means dealing with unique challenges for home maintenance. Our coastal location brings salt air and harsh weather from the North Sea. We know how to protect and beautify all types of local homes, from Victorian terraces to modern seaside properties.
Full Exterior House Painting
We offer complete exterior painting that's perfect for Seaham's coastal weather. Our marine-grade paints and special coatings fight against salt spray and moisture.

Decking and Fence Painting
Outdoor wooden structures in Seaham need extra care because they're so exposed. We use special treatments that soak deep into the wood. This protects your decks and fences from salt air, rain, and sun damage. We'll make sure these match your home's style too.
We take great care with every painting job we do. We understand Seaham's weather and use only the best paints that work well in coastal areas. This means your home will look great and stay protected, no matter what weather comes from the sea.
Local Expertise
How Seaham's Coastal Weather Affects Your Home
Living by the North Sea brings special challenges to your home. The salty air and strong winds (usually 12-15 mph) can damage normal paint jobs. We use special methods and tough marine paints that work well in Seaham's weather. This means your paint job lasts longer.

About 30% of Seaham homes are Victorian terraces. We work on these older homes and modern ones too. Our team knows how to:
- Care for old plaster in period homes
- Use special paint that fights sea salt on seafront houses
- Fix damp problems in old brick buildings
- Work on newer homes with modern walls
Smart Weather Planning
Seaham gets about 650-700mm of rain each year. We're experts at planning around our local weather. We check the forecast carefully and do outdoor work when the weather is best. This helps your paint job look better and last longer.
Fair Prices for Local People
Seaham has about 21,000 people. We know our neighbors want good work at fair prices. Most people here (65-70%) own their homes. We offer different price options for homeowners and landlords. You get great value and high-quality work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the estimated cost to have my Sunderland home painted?
The cost depends on several things. We look at the size of your space and what condition the walls are in. We also consider the type of paint you want and how much prep work is needed. Some older homes in Seaham need special treatment. Newer homes might need less work. Contact us for a free quote based on your needs.
How long can I expect a painting project to take?
This depends on how big the job is. A normal bedroom takes 1-2 days to prep and paint properly. A whole house inside will take several days to finish well. Outside painting might take longer because we have to think about the weather and do more prep work.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have full public liability insurance and professional insurance. This means your property is protected while we work on your Seaham or Sunderland home.
Do you offer free estimates for painting services in Sunderland?
Yes, we give free, detailed estimates for all painting jobs in Seaham, Sunderland, and nearby areas. Our quotes show all costs clearly so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Do you handle the preparation work, such as sanding and priming, before painting?
Yes, we do all the prep work ourselves. This includes cleaning surfaces and filling holes. We also sand rough spots and fix damp patches that are common in seaside areas like Seaham. We use the right primers too. Good prep work helps make the paint job last longer.
How do you protect my furniture and home from paint splatters?
We use lots of ways to protect your things. We put down professional dust sheets and floor covers. We use plastic sheets to cover furniture. We also use special tape to protect wood trim and window frames. We cover all switches and handles to keep them paint-free.
What if it rains on the outdoor painting day?
We check the weather forecast carefully for outdoor work in Seaham. If it rains unexpectedly, we have ways to protect fresh paint. We only paint outside when the weather is good enough.
Do I need to be home while the painting is in progress?
You can stay home if you want, but you don't have to. Once we know what to do and can get into the rooms, we can work while you're away. We'll keep in touch to let you know how things are going.
