The rental market in Silksworth is growing fast. We help landlords keep their properties looking great. We know rental homes need tough paint that's easy to clean. This is important when tenants change often. We use strong Contract Matt paint for walls and Satinwood for wood trim. Our team works fast between tenants to save you money.

Reviews
From our happy customers.
Had the entire downstairs painted and couldn't be happier with the results. The team was professional, tidy and completed everything in just 3 days. They helped us choose the perfect shade for our living room and dining room, and the finish is flawless. They even managed to fix some old cracks in the walls before painting. Would definitely recommend!
Sarah, Silksworth
The painters did an amazing job with our bedrooms and hallway. They were punctual every morning and took great care protecting our furniture and flooring. Their attention to detail around the window frames and coving was impressive. They used low-VOC paint as requested, which was great as we have young children. Very pleased with the service.
Mike, Silksworth
Just had our kitchen and conservatory painted by this team. They helped patch up some damp spots properly before painting and advised us on the best paint type for each room. The crew was friendly and professional, cleaned up thoroughly after themselves each day, and the final result looks fantastic. Fair price for the quality of work delivered.

Popular Colours in Silksworth
Silksworth homes mix old mining houses with newer builds. Here are the best colors that work well in both types of homes.
Exterior Colours:
Pebble Grey is perfect for modern homes in Silksworth. It looks great on render and pebbledash walls. This grey works really well with white window frames. It looks best on houses with bay windows.
Sage Green suits older cottages and semi-detached houses. It helps homes blend in with garden areas. This color looks best with cream or white trim. Many homes near Silksworth Sports Complex use this shade.
Interior Colours:
Warm White is the top choice for inside walls. It's great for older houses because it makes rooms brighter. This color works in darker rooms and fits with any furniture style.
Stone Beige is very popular for living rooms and hallways. It creates a cozy feeling and matches well with red brick exteriors. This shade also works well with natural materials inside the home.
Feature Colours:
Oxford Blue looks fantastic on front doors. It's especially good on older houses. This classic color adds style while keeping the traditional look of the area.
Top Tip: Many homeowners mix these colors together. A popular combo is Pebble Grey walls with an Oxford Blue front door and white trim. This mix creates a smart look that fits well with local style.

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 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. Older homes in Silksworth might need more work than newer ones. Things like wall height and how easy it is to reach certain areas will change the price too. We'll give you a free quote after we look at your home.
How long can I expect a painting project to take?
The time needed depends on how big the job is. An average room needs proper prep work and several coats of paint. Outside jobs need good weather, so they might take longer in Sunderland's climate. We make sure each coat dries properly and never rush our work.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have full insurance that covers public liability and professional work. This protects your property and our work. 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 estimates with no obligation to use our services. We cover Sunderland, Silksworth, and nearby areas. After looking at your project, we'll give you a detailed quote that explains all the work.
Do you handle the preparation work, such as sanding and priming, before painting?
Yes, we do all the prep work ourselves. This includes cleaning, sanding, filling holes, and priming. For older houses in Silksworth, we check carefully for damp or other problems before we start painting.
How do you protect my furniture and home from paint splatters?
We use special dust sheets and protective films to cover everything. We carefully move furniture when needed. We tape off areas that aren't being painted to protect them from paint spots and dust.
What if it rains on the outdoor painting day?
We check the weather forecast carefully. If it rains unexpectedly, we have backup plans. We never paint wet surfaces or when rain is coming soon. We'll wait for better weather to finish outside work.
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 and how to get in, we can work while you're away. We'll keep in touch to let you know how things are going.
Should I move my furniture and belongings before you start painting?
We can help move and protect furniture. But please move small valuable items before we start. We can handle moving bigger pieces as part of our service.
