Reviews
From our happy customers.
Had our living room and hallway painted by this fantastic team. They were so careful with our furniture and took time to properly prep all the surfaces. The finish is absolutely beautiful - they even helped us choose the perfect shade of grey for our walls. Clean, tidy, and professional from start to finish.
Margaret, Thorney Close
Brilliant service from the decorators who painted our kitchen and bathroom. They used special moisture-resistant paint and the attention to detail around the tiles and fixtures was impressive. They worked quickly but didn't cut any corners. Very pleased with how it's brightened up our home.
David, Thorney Close
Had our house exterior painted including all woodwork and window frames. The team was punctual every day and worked through some typical Sunderland weather to get the job done! They used high-quality paint that they assured will last for years. Really happy with how smart the house looks now - neighbours have all commented on it.

Local Expertise
Local Expertise: Your Thorney Close Painting & Decorating Specialists
We are your local painters and decorators in Thorney Close and Sunderland. We know the challenges that local homeowners face. We understand the local houses, weather, and what our community needs. This helps us do great work on every project.
Understanding Thorney Close
Thorney Close is 2.5 miles southwest of Sunderland city centre. The area has many 1950s post-war houses and some newer homes. Each type of house needs different painting methods. We have worked on hundreds of local homes. This includes both semi-detached houses and new-builds.
Weather-Smart Solutions
Sunderland's weather can make painting tricky. We get 800-1,000mm of rain each year. The humid air can affect how paint sticks to walls. We know the best times to paint outside (usually April to September). We use special weather-resistant paints that work well in our coastal area. These paints keep moisture out but let walls breathe. This helps prevent damp problems that are common here.
Solutions for Different House Types
We know how to handle different types of houses in Thorney Close:
- Post-war council houses: We use strong masonry paints that protect against weather and make old exteriors look new
- Semi-detached houses: We use special primers and paints that won't peel around windows and doors
- Bungalows: We help older residents choose colors that look modern but still traditional
Fixing Common Local Problems
We're experts at solving typical Thorney Close house problems:
- We use special treatments to stop mold in damp areas
- Our outdoor paints stay bright even in coastal weather
- We can update old Artex ceilings found in 1950s homes
Serving Our Community
Thorney Close has about 10,000 residents. We work with all types of people. Some are young families who want modern, tough finishes. Others are older residents who like traditional colors. We adjust our work to fit what each person wants and can afford.
We work with local shops like Dulux Decorator Centre and B&Q Sunderland. This helps us get good materials at fair prices for our customers.
We've worked in Thorney Close for many years. We know how to handle our coastal weather and what looks good on local homes. Our local knowledge and professional skills mean your home will look great and stay protected.

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 home and what condition the walls are in. We also consider the type of paint you want and how much prep work is needed. For homes in Thorney Close and nearby areas, we think about how easy it is to access your home. We also look at how many rooms need painting. We give free quotes after we see your home, so you'll know exactly what it will cost.
How long can I expect a painting project to take?
The time needed depends on what you want done. A single room in Thorney Close usually takes a few days. This is because we need to prep the walls and put on several coats of paint. Outside painting might take longer because of Sunderland's weather. We'll tell you exactly how long it will take after we see your project. We never rush our work because we want it to look perfect.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have full insurance coverage. This includes public liability and professional insurance. It covers all our work in Sunderland and nearby areas. You can feel safe knowing you're protected while we work.
Do you offer free estimates for painting services in Sunderland?
Yes! We offer free estimates with no obligation. We'll come to your home in Thorney Close or anywhere in Sunderland. We'll look at what needs to be done and give you an exact price.
Do you handle the preparation work, such as sanding and priming, before painting?
Yes, we do all the prep work ourselves. We sand the walls and fill any holes or cracks. We fix any damp spots that are common in Sunderland homes. We also prime bare walls and make sure everything is clean before painting.
How do you protect my furniture and home from paint splatters?
We use lots of dust sheets and protective covers. We either cover your furniture or move it away from the walls. We protect your floors and cover any fixtures. We're very careful in every Thorney Close home we work in.
What if it rains on the outdoor painting day?
We check the weather forecast carefully for outdoor work in Sunderland. If rain is coming, we'll change the date. We only paint when the weather is right.
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 colors you want and what needs doing, we can work while you're out. We just need to be able to get into the areas we're painting.
Should I move my furniture and belongings before you start painting?
We can help move furniture to the middle of rooms. But please move valuable or fragile items yourself. We'll tell you exactly what needs moving when we first visit.
Will Foxglove Decor provide all the necessary painting supplies?
Yes, we bring everything needed. This includes paint, tools, dust sheets, and special equipment. You don't need to provide anything.
