Areas We Serve In Sunderland
Our painters and decorators have over 20 years' experience decorating properties across Sunderland and Tyne & Wear.
We know what each area needs.
Coastal Areas
South Shields | Seaham | Whitburn | Cleadon | Roker
South Shields is our largest service area with 75,000 residents.
Coastal properties face harsh conditions—salt air degrades standard paint in 3-5 years instead of 10. We use specialist systems designed for coastal weathering.
Victorian terraces in Westoe Village often have conservation area restrictions. We work with period-appropriate colours when needed.
Whitburn and Cleadon feature larger detached properties with complex rooflines. These need more scaffolding and longer timelines.
Mining Heritage Areas
Chester-le-Street | Houghton-le-Spring | Jarrow | Hebburn | Ryhope
These areas share industrial housing. Many properties have pebbledash or render covering older brickwork.
Chester-le-Street has 77% homeownership, meaning established communities who invest in proper maintenance.
Modern Estates
Washington | Doxford Park
Washington's 1960s new town estates are completely different from traditional northeastern properties. This means white render, flat roofs, and cement-based systems rather than lime.

Eco-Friendly Decorating
Our painters and decorators follow eco-friendly practices without compromising on quality or durability.
We have low-VOC, water-based paints available for customers.
Better for your family's health and indoor air quality, particularly important in older properties with limited ventilation.
All materials get disposed of properly according to Sunderland City Council regulations.
Careful planning means less waste. We measure accurately, order what's needed, and use what we order. It's common sense—and it's better for the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does painting and decorating cost in Sunderland?
Painting and decorating work can vary quite a bit in cost depending on what you're looking for.
Room size, prep work needed, number of coats, condition of surfaces—it all affects the price.
The best way to get an accurate figure is to give us a call on 01917436008. We'll chat about your project, arrange to come take a look, and give you a proper quote. No guesswork, no surprises.
You can also fill in our contact form and we'll get back to you to arrange a time that suits.
Do I need to provide the paint and materials?
Not at all. We take care of sourcing and supplying all the necessary paints, wallpapers, and materials for your project. We partner with reputable suppliers to ensure we use high-quality, durable products that deliver the best possible results. If you have specific preferences or requirements, we're happy to accommodate them.
How long will my project take?
The timeline for your project will depend on its scope and complexity. A smaller project, such as refreshing a single room, might take a day or two, while larger projects, like a full house repaint, could take a week or more. We'll provide a clear timeline estimate during our initial consultation and keep you informed of our progress throughout the project.
Can you help me with choosing colours and designs?
Yes, absolutely. We're happy to help you choose colours and finishes that work for your space.
We've been decorating for over 20 years, so we know what works in different rooms and lighting conditions. We'll talk through what you're after and suggest options based on your preferences and how the space is used.
Some colours look great in the tin but completely different on the wall—we'll help you avoid those surprises. And if you already know exactly what you want, that's fine too.
We're here to guide you through the process and make sure you're happy with the final result.
Are your painters and decorators covered by insurance?
Yes, all our team members carry full public liability insurance.
This coverage protects both our team and your property in the unlikely event of any accidents or damages.
Do I need to be home while you're working?
No, you don't need to be present during the work. We understand you have busy schedules, and we can efficiently complete the project even if you're not at home.
We'll be available for an initial consultation to discuss your needs and a final walkthrough to ensure your complete satisfaction with the finished results.
