Reviews
From our happy customers.
Had my living room and hallway painted by this team and couldn't be happier with the results. They were incredibly tidy, arrived on time each day, and completed the work within the timeframe promised. The attention to detail around the coving and skirting boards was impressive. They even helped move furniture back into place once everything was dry.

The painters did an amazing job with our kitchen cabinets and walls. They took the time to properly prep everything, including thorough sanding and priming. The finish is flawless and has completely modernized the space. Their color recommendation was spot-on, and they cleaned up perfectly after each day's work.

Finally found reliable painters who know what they're doing! They painted all our exterior walls and window frames, working carefully around our plants and garden features. Despite some challenging weather, they managed their time well and ensured everything was properly protected. The house looks brand new, and many neighbors have commented on the transformation.

Popular Colours in Southwick
We know that picking paint colors can be tricky. Let's look at the most popular choices that work well in Southwick homes.
Light Neutrals
Light neutrals are always a safe bet. Soft greys and warm beiges create a calm feeling and match any style. They work especially well in our local semi-detached houses and new builds.
Classic White
White remains a top choice for good reason. It makes rooms feel bigger and brighter, which is perfect for Southwick's mix of traditional and modern homes. Pure white works great in kitchens and bathrooms, while creamy whites add warmth to living spaces.
Nature-Inspired Colors
Nature-inspired colors are trending right now. Sage green and gentle blues reflect our local parks and coastal views. These colors help bring the outside in and create a peaceful atmosphere.
Bold Accents
For something bolder, deep navy and charcoal grey are popular accent colors. They look stunning on feature walls or exterior doors. These darker shades work well with Southwick's red brick houses.
Warm Earth Tones
Warm earth tones like terracotta and rich browns connect nicely with local architecture. They create a cozy feeling and hide marks well, making them practical for family homes.
Color Compatibility
These colors all complement our local area and housing styles. They're proven to work well in Southwick's climate and natural light conditions.
Preparation Tips
Remember, good preparation is key for any paint job. A proper base coat will make your chosen color look its best.

Exterior Painting Services
We know Southwick homes inside and out - both old and new styles. Our team has years of experience painting houses in this area near Sunderland. We understand how the North East weather affects paint. Our solutions make your home look great while protecting it from the harsh coastal climate.
Decking and Fence Treatment
The weather in Southwick can be tough on wooden decks and fences. We start by power washing to remove dirt and algae that builds up in our coastal area. Then we use special weather-resistant paints and stains made for North East conditions. This keeps your outdoor wood looking good and staying strong all year round.
Cladding Restoration
Many Southwick homes have exterior cladding that needs proper care. We use special paints that work well on wood, metal or composite cladding. For homes near the coast, we use marine-grade coatings to fight salt damage. This helps the paint job last much longer.
Garage Door Transformation
Your garage door is a big part of how your home looks from the street. We can turn old, worn doors into beautiful features that make your whole house look better. We work with all types of doors - metal, wood or composite. We use the right primers and paints to protect against local weather. You can keep your current color or try something new.
We pay close attention to every detail. We understand the local environment and use only the best products for our coastal climate. This means your paint job will look great and last for many years in Southwick's unique conditions.
Local Expertise
Understanding Southwick's Homes
We have painted hundreds of homes in Southwick. These include old Victorian houses and post-war council homes. About half the homes here are terraced houses. We know how to handle common issues like dampness in these homes. We also know the right way to paint different surfaces like pebbledash, brick, and modern walls.
Weather-Smart Solutions
Southwick gets a lot of rain (700-900mm yearly) and strong winds from the North Sea. This means we need special skills for outdoor painting. We plan outdoor work during the drier months from April to July. We use special paints that dry quickly and resist moisture. In winter, we work inside homes to keep projects on track.
Meeting Local Homeowner Needs
We serve Southwick's 10,000 residents in different ways. Many homes (40%) have families, so we use tough paints that are easy to clean. Older residents (30%) often like traditional styles and wallpaper. Young professionals want modern looks, so we create trendy feature walls for them.
Proven Local Solutions
We have fixed many common problems in Southwick homes:
- Special treatments for damp homes near the sea
- Good paints for old brick houses that let walls breathe
- Tough finishes for family homes near Southwick Primary School
- Strong outdoor paints that handle sea winds
- Help choosing colors that work well with northern light

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, how good the current surfaces are, what paint you choose, and how much prep work is needed. We also consider if it's inside or outside painting. Older homes in Southwick might need more work than newer ones. We'll give you a free quote after we look at your home.
How long can I expect a painting project to take?
One room usually takes 1-2 days. A whole house inside might take 4-5 days or more. Outside painting can take longer because of weather. The time also depends on how much prep work is needed and how your house is built.
