Period property decorator Suffolk
Period property painting and decorating across nearby Suffolk villages.
I specialise in careful, repair-led decorating for older Suffolk homes, from cottages and timber-framed buildings to rendered exteriors, windows, doors and traditional details.
Specialist approach
Older Suffolk homes need preparation before paint.
Period properties rarely behave like modern houses. Walls can be uneven, timber can move, older coatings may be failing and exterior details often need repair before decorating starts.
I am based in Glemsford and work across nearby Suffolk villages including Lavenham, Sudbury, Long Melford, Clare and Cavendish. The focus is practical, sympathetic decorating: preparing properly, choosing suitable materials and leaving a finish that suits the building.
