What I do
Painting and decorating, inside and out.
Domestic and commercial painting and decorating covering all aspects, from one tired room to the whole house.
Walls & ceilings
Single rooms or every wall and ceiling in the house, painted to a finish you'll be glad to live with.
Woodwork, doors & frames
Skirting, frames and doors painted properly, so the white bits look as good as the walls.
Varnishing
Woodwork and doors varnished where you'd rather keep the grain than paint over it.
Wallpaper & lining paper
Feature walls hung straight and lining paper put up where tired walls need it before painting.
Making good first
Ceilings stained by an old leak, flaking new plaster, patched walls: sorted before the paint goes on.
Outside work
Exterior painting too, so the outside of the house can catch up with the inside.
Commercial work
Private and commercial painting and decorating, from a single room at home to business premises.

The work
Most of the job happens before the first coat.
Stripping back and lining tired walls properly is what makes the finish last. Here's a bit of both ends of it.
Stripping back
Finished
The awkward bits
Stains, flaking plaster, half-stripped walls. Sorted first.
Every house has a bit nobody wanted to deal with. Dave solves the unexpected problems that turn up along the way, so the new paint isn't covering up an old one.
“From a badly stained ceiling due to an old leak and new plaster around the kitchen door that was flaking, his decorating has been second to none.”
“We had some very iffy bits of plaster work and an area in the kitchen where a breakfast bar had been removed leaving half lining paper, half plaster. After Dave worked his magic, it's absolutely perfect!”

People book Dave again.
Dave has just finished decorating almost every room in our house - walls, ceilings, woodwork and doors - all to the excellent standard we are used to. Dave always advises on paint and materials and solves any unexpected problems that may arise. Reliable, punctual, professional and a nice bloke too. This is the third time we have used Simmdec and we would recommend 100%.
Dave has just decorated three rooms in my home. From a badly stained ceiling due to an old leak and new plaster around the kitchen door that was flaking, his decorating has been second to none. He did a great job varnishing woodwork and doors. He also advised on the type and quantity of paint to buy. Dave was punctual, pleasant and professional at all times as well as reasonably priced. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

I have recently moved into this house and Dave was recommended to me. I have had every wall, ceiling, frames, doors etc painted and Dave has just literally finished. I can recommend him wholeheartedly. He is a highly skilled painter and decorator and has made a fantastic job and transformed my home. He is efficient and tidies up as he goes along. He is also very cheerful and a smashing chap. I have booked him again for the Spring to do some outside work for me. Many thanks Dave.

Dave has just finished decorating 4 rooms within our house. From start to finish, the communication was excellent, when explaining timeframes, the process and the price. Dave was punctual, very diligent worker, extremely tidy, and the work is first class. We are delighted with the job, and cannot recommended Dave enough. We’ve booked him again for two more jobs and recommended him to family.

Dave decorated throughout our house. He was quick and efficient, very professional and friendly. We had some very iffy bits of plaster work and an area in the kitchen where a breakfast bar had been removed leaving half lining paper, half plaster. After Dave worked his magic, it's absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend Simmdec.
