Reviews
From our happy customers.
The painters were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. They helped us choose the perfect shade of grey for our living room and a lovely cream for the kitchen. Their attention to detail was impressive - not a single drip or smudge anywhere. They even moved and covered all our furniture carefully. The team was always on time and cleaned up perfectly each day. Would definitely recommend!
Margaret, Whitburn
Had my entire house exterior painted and couldn't be happier with the results. The team pressure washed first and properly prepared all surfaces. They used high-quality paint that they assured would last for years. Even painted our window frames and front door to match. Very polite workers who kept me informed throughout the process. Great value for money!
David, Whitburn
We had all bedrooms, hallway and landing decorated. The team was amazing at working around our family life, causing minimal disruption. They gave great advice on colours and finishes, and the quality of their work is outstanding. They even helped patch up some old wallpaper damage before painting. Finished ahead of schedule and left everything spotless. Really transformed our home!

Exterior Painting Services
Living by the North Sea in Whitburn brings special challenges for house painting. Our team knows how to protect and beautify all types of homes here, from old limestone cottages to modern houses. We understand what it takes to shield your home from salty air and tough weather.
Surface Preparation: The Foundation of Excellence
Good preparation is key for paint to last in Whitburn's seaside climate. We start by power washing to remove salt build-up from your walls. Then we check carefully for any weather damage and fix problems we find. Before painting, we make sure all surfaces are clean, sanded, and primed properly.
Masonry Painting: Protection for Your Property
Many Whitburn homes have beautiful stonework that needs special care. We use special masonry paints that let walls breathe while protecting them. These paints shield your home from salt spray and heavy rain, which are common issues by the coast.
Soffit and Fascia Care
The parts around your roof need extra attention because of the sea air. We clean these areas thoroughly and treat any rust we find. We use strong marine paints to protect these parts well. We also make sure air can still flow through your soffits while keeping them protected.
Expert Exterior Paint Application
We choose our paints and methods specially for Whitburn's coastal weather. Our paints resist salt spray, sun damage, and moisture. They cover well and make your home look great.
We start each job by looking closely at what your house needs. We think about how much sea spray it gets, what style it is, and what you want it to look like. Our team has painted many homes in Whitburn, so we know how to make your paint job look good and last long.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the estimated cost to have my Sunderland home painted?
The cost of painting your home depends on several things. We look at the size of the space and what condition the walls are in. We also consider what type of paint you need and how much prep work is required. Things like high ceilings or detailed woodwork can change the price. We'll give you a clear quote after we look at your home. Just ask for a free consultation - there's no obligation.
How long can I expect a painting project to take?
The time needed depends on how big the job is. A normal room needs proper prep time and several coats of paint. Bigger jobs, like painting a whole house inside or outside, take longer. Weather, prep work, and paint drying time all affect how long it takes. We'll give you a clear schedule so you know what to expect.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have full insurance coverage. This includes public liability and professional insurance. This protects both your property and our workers while we're doing the job.
Do you offer free estimates for painting services in Sunderland?
Yes, we give free, detailed estimates for all painting work in Whitburn, Sunderland, and nearby areas. Our quotes are clear and include all costs upfront.
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, and filling holes. We also treat any damp areas, which are common in North East homes. We always prime walls when needed. Good prep work helps the paint last longer.
How do you protect my furniture and home from paint splatters?
We use lots of protection. This includes dust sheets, floor covers, and plastic sheets for furniture. We tape off areas that need protection. We also cover all fixtures and special features before we start work.
What if it rains on the outdoor painting day?
We check the weather forecast carefully. We have backup plans if it rains unexpectedly. We only paint outside when the weather is right. Inside painting can continue no matter what the weather is like.
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 agree on the work and can get into your home, 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?
It helps if you can move small items and valuable things. For bigger furniture, we can help move it to the middle of the room. We'll make sure everything is well protected.
Will Foxglove Decor provide all the necessary painting supplies?
Yes, we bring all the tools and materials needed. We use professional-grade equipment to do the best job possible.
