Painters and decorators in Portsmouth

Across Portsmouth (PO1) it is mostly exterior repaints, interior decorating, house wash downs and gutter clearing on Victorian terraces and city flats, plus the wash downs, gutter clearing and exterior maintenance that goes alongside all of it. Portsmouth is largely Victorian and interwar terraces, which means shared party walls, rendered or painted front elevations facing the street, and access down the side that has to be worked around rather than ignored. Every job starts with a look at the property rather than a price guessed over the phone.

No. Portsmouth is on the doorstep of the Portsmouth base, so there is no travel charge and a first look at the job can usually be arranged within a day or two.

Yes. Portsmouth is home ground, so most weeks start and finish inside the city. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find on properties around Guildhall and what yours is likely to need before anything gets started.

It does, mostly in terms of access and prep. Portsmouth is largely Victorian and interwar terraces where the front elevation is rendered or painted, sits straight on the pavement, and has decades of coatings on it already. That means checking what is underneath before adding to it, because a sound-looking wall with a failing coat under the top one will take your new paint off with it. Access is the other thing: side alleys, shared passageways and parking all get sorted before the day rather than on it. Inside, these houses are hall, stairs and landing jobs as often as they are rooms, and that is the one worth having done properly.

Yes, and that is the main reason people use us rather than two separate firms. The same team that repaints your render in Portsmouth can wash it down and clear your gutters afterwards, so it is one quote, one visit to arrange and one number to ring. Plenty of customers have the interior done over the winter and the exterior and the wash down the following summer.

Portsmouth is around 1 mile from the Portsmouth base, so getting out to look and quote is quick, normally within a couple of days and always inside a week. Actually starting depends on the diary and on the weather if it is an exterior, and we would rather give you a real date than an optimistic one.
