Painting & Decorating- 28 Jul 2026
Sam was very professional from the on set, his take up of the job request on My Builder was one of the three replies I received. After contacting him he confirmed what was included in the price, I only needed to supply the paint and we agreed a start date and time. The day before the start date he confirmed that he would be here the next day. On the date agreed he turned up on time. (I must stress that the front of the house gets the full sun in the morning so as the day progressed it became warmer) Sam did not stop for lunch only tea breaks that I provided, By mid afternoon he had completed the agreed two coats, tidied up and had left the garden as found. I am very pleased with the result and would happily employ him again.

Joe refurbished a large bedroom for us. This included painting a large ceiling, wallpapering walls, sanded all the woodwork and ripped out the carpet. He also sanded the floorboard and painted them to a high standard. He was tidy, punctual with good time keeping, prepped the room well and worked hard to complete the job. He informed me straight away with any problems and had a good solution. Very happy with the end result would recommend.

Conversions - General- 27 Apr 2019
Craig, Bob and Timmy of HD Design and Build have been an absolute credit to the building trade throughout our project. With a young family still living in the house, their professionalism, punctuality, cleanliness, advice and attention to detail meant they kept disruption and intrusion into the rest of the home to a minimum and we were able to continue life without too much disruption. I have a multitude of photos of the build throughout which show the excellent standard that they worked to every day which can be supplied on request. Craig offered objective advice based on experience throughout and although he clearly always strives for perfection, was never pushy for us to make a decision to use a high end product over something that was more affordable or suitable. Our newly laid herringbone parquet oak floor is the talk of the street and is a testament to their skill and attention to detail. The finished rooms we have now far exceed our expectations of design and quality and that is largely down to Craig's advice and the experience and skill of him and his team. Craig was also instrumental in keeping me calm in many situations when dealing with suppliers and offered sound advice without judgement. I would recommend HD Design & Build to everyone with the belief that they will make your designs come to life and then some!

Questions to ask a Canterbury painter and decorator

Choosing a Canterbury painter and decorator isn’t just about finding someone who can apply a coat of paint. It’s about working with someone who genuinely cares about how your home looks and feels. Here are some questions to help you make the right choice:

What types of projects have you completed in Canterbury?

From period terraces and cottage interiors to modern flats, each property in Canterbury has its own character. Ask your painter or decorator about their experience with homes similar to yours, and what finishes or materials they recommend for your walls or woodwork.

Can you share photos or examples of your recent work?

Before-and-after images give you a sense of their style, attention to detail, and how they approach surfaces or colours. Many painters and decorators feature their work on MyBuilder, so it’s easy to browse through and see what inspires you.

Do you have references from past clients in Canterbury?

Hearing how others describe their workmanship, communication, and reliability can make your decision easier. You can also check reviews on MyBuilder to see how previous customers felt about their results.

How do you prepare surfaces and deal with cracks or damp patches?

Proper prep makes all the difference. A good decorator will explain how they handle imperfections before painting to ensure your new finish lasts.

Are you familiar with local rules for decorating listed or conservation buildings in Canterbury?

Decorating listed buildings in Canterbury sometimes needs formal consent to protect architectural significance. Knowing how to navigate these regulations and whether specific materials or colours are required can make a big difference in avoiding fines or costly rework.

FAQ: Common questions about Canterbury painting and decorating services

How long does a typical painting and decorating project take in Canterbury?

Project length varies with the size and nature of the work. A single room might take a few days, while larger jobs like whole-house decorating or detailed woodwork can take several weeks. Factors like surface preparation, drying times, and weather conditions for exterior work also affect the schedule.

What kind of paint or finishes are suitable for Canterbury homes?

In Canterbury, common choices include matte and eggshell finishes for interiors due to their elegant look and ease of touch-ups. For exterior surfaces, weather-resistant paints that cope with the local climate, such as moisture and temperature changes, are essential for lasting protection.

How do decorators prepare surfaces in older or period homes in Canterbury?

Surface preparation in Canterbury may involve cleaning, filling cracks, sanding, and sometimes treating issues like dampness. Proper prep is key to paint adhesion and finish durability, especially in homes with plaster, lath walls, or older wood.

Will painters and decorators in Canterbury help with colour selection or test samples?

Many decorators offer guidance on colour choices based on lighting and room use and can provide sample swatches or test patches to help you visualise the final look before commitment.
