The painters were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. They helped us choose the perfect shade of grey for our living room and cream for the hallway. Their attention to detail around the coving and skirting boards was impressive. They were tidy, punctual, and finished the job ahead of schedule. The finish looks fantastic and has completely transformed our home.

We help them create warm, welcoming spaces that last through our North East weather. We know what works best for the buildings in our area and deliver great results every time.
Basement Painting Expertise
Many St. Peters homes have basements that need special care. We use special moisture-resistant paints and sealers made just for basements. This stops dampness and mould from forming. Your basement stays fresh and dry all year round.
Wall and Ceiling Transformation
We give your living spaces a fresh new look with our wall and ceiling painting. First, we fix any damage and prepare the surfaces carefully. Then we use top-quality paints that last for years. We protect your furniture while we work and make sure all edges are neat and tidy.
Staircase Renovation
Staircases are often the centerpiece of St. Peters homes. We make them look their best by painting banisters, handrails, and steps. We use tough paints that can handle daily use without wearing down.
Radiator Refinishing
Radiators are important in our cold North East climate. We use special heat-resistant paints that won't chip or peel when the radiator heats up. We can paint them to match your walls or make them stand out. Our work won't affect how well your radiators heat your home.
Timber Restoration and Painting
Many older homes in St. Peters have original wooden features that need expert care. We fix any rotted or damaged wood with resin before painting. Then we use the right primers and paints to protect the wood. This keeps your home's character while making sure the timber lasts.
Popular Colours in St. Peters
St. Peters has a unique mix of old and new homes near the Sunderland coast. Let's look at the most popular colors that work well in this area.
Oxford Blue
This classic deep blue looks great on Victorian and Georgian homes in St. Peters. It stands out beautifully on front doors and window frames against brick walls. Many people also use it for kitchen cabinets in older homes. It adds character while staying classic.
Portland Stone
This warm off-white color works well on both old and new homes. It brightens up outside walls and handles our coastal weather well. It looks best on smooth walls and pairs nicely with dark grey or navy details. Inside, it makes rooms feel bright and open - perfect for our northern location.
Sage Mist
This soft green has become very popular both inside and out. On outside walls, it gives a gentle look that matches our local plants and seaside setting. Inside, it works well in rooms that get morning sun. It creates a peaceful feeling while keeping spaces warm.
Stone Beige
This color works well on all types of homes in St. Peters. In older houses, it creates a warm background that shows off original features. In modern homes, it looks fresh and stylish while keeping rooms cozy and inviting.
Exterior Painting Services
St. Peters is home to many beautiful houses, both old and new. Each home needs its own special painting approach. We know the area well and understand how the North East weather affects different types of homes. From old Victorian houses to new builds, we know how to protect them all.
Surface Preparation: The Foundation of Excellence
Good surface prep is vital in St. Peters because of the coastal weather. We start by power washing to remove salt and dirt. Then we sand down rough spots and fix any damage before painting. We check carefully for damp areas and make sure everything is fully dry. This careful prep work helps the paint stick better and last longer.
Fence and Gate Painting
We treat your fences and gates with the same care as your house. We use special paints that work well in our local weather, for both wood and metal. Wooden fences get special treatments to stop rot and mold. Metal gates get rust-proof primers and tough top coats to keep them looking good all year round.
Comprehensive Exterior House Painting
We paint all parts of your home's exterior with top-quality paints that handle our tough weather. Our team knows how to work with brick, render, and cladding. Each surface gets the right treatment to keep it protected and looking fresh.
Garage Door Refreshing
A fresh coat of paint on your garage door makes your whole house look better. We paint all types of garage doors - wood, metal, or composite. First, we clean them well and treat any rust. Then we use tough paints that won't fade or peel. We can match your current colors or help you pick new ones that look great with your house.
Weather Protection That Lasts
We know what the local weather can do to houses. That's why we use special weatherproof paints that guard against rain, wind, and sun damage. These tough coatings keep your house protected and looking good for years. We pick the best products to suit St. Peters' weather and your home's needs.

How long can I expect a painting project to take?
The time needed changes based on your space. We look at the room size and how much prep work is needed. Weather also matters for outside painting. We'll tell you exactly how long it will take when we meet. We always make sure to leave enough time between coats of paint.
