Painter and decorator in Llandudno.

Decorating in Llandudno

Llandudno's grand seafront terraces, Craig-y-Don villas and West Shore houses were built with deep skirtings, panelled doors, moulded architraves and plaster cornices. Those details are the reason the houses look the way they do, and they are also the reason a rushed repaint looks so wrong. Every profile is cut in by hand, mouldings are cleaned out rather than clogged with paint, and old, cracked or heavily built-up surfaces are properly prepared before anything new is applied.

The town's exposure to the bay means sun-bleached south-facing rooms, salt-laden air on the promenade and condensation in older bay windows. Paint systems are chosen for the room they go into, breathable finishes where an older wall needs to move, moisture-tolerant products in bathrooms and coastal-facing joinery.

Alongside private homes, Llandudno has a large number of guest houses, apartments and holiday lets where turnaround matters. Adam works to agreed dates, keeps the site clean and finishes on time, so rooms go back into use when you expected them to.
