Painter and decorator in Tarporley.

Decorating in Tarporley

The properties here tend to be substantial: village houses on the High Street, farmhouses and barn conversions in the lanes around Utkinton, Cotebrook and Eaton, and larger country homes with plenty of joinery. Those houses reward slow, thorough work, and they are usually where the difference between a good decorator and a cheap one becomes obvious within a year.

Hand painted kitchens are a Tarporley speciality. A solid, well-built kitchen that has simply dated does not need replacing. Doors, frames, end panels and islands are degreased, keyed, primed and finished in a hard-wearing eggshell, either brushed and laid off or sprayed, in whatever colour suits the room.

Country properties also bring exterior work: rendered elevations, painted brickwork, long window runs, stable doors and gates. All of it is quoted with a realistic preparation allowance for surfaces that live outdoors in Cheshire weather.
