Our house needed painting on the exterior. The sandstone masonry was in a poor state and hadn’t been painted in about 20 years. Billy has been brilliant from start to finish. He is punctual, polite and helpful. He listened to what we wanted, offered advise and alternatives and then gave us a very fair quote. He was in constant communication so we always knew what was happening. He arrived every morning ready to work but checked in with us to make sure we we happy with everything. Billy worked quietly and calmly, tidying up as he went. We are very happy with the finished result and would highly recommend him/use his services again. He is a really nice guy who is trustworthy and dependable.

Painting & Decorating- 11 Sep 2015
Toms a nice fella, but his workmanship is less than impressive. for example he doesn't remove or even loosen door handles, but simply masks them off. Several of our handles now have paint round them or when the tape has been removed, some paint has come off the doors too. It's the same with light switches - Tom doesn't bother to loosen them. But my biggest problem with Tom is he takes no responsibility for when things go wrong choosing to blame the plaster, the wallpaper, the mural, the paste etc. As a businessman I know that your paid on the end result, but Tom's attitude is that he's put in the hours so should be paid regardless. We had 2 papers and a mural hung -all ended up unsuccessful, albeit one that we just didn't like the look of - so that one wasn't Toms fault. The other paper had 1mm gaps bewteen the seama and brown marks up them too which I assume is from the paste (Tom said it was rubbish paper and the plaster sucking the paste in too quick). The Mural was poorly seam matched & only stuck in places. Tom laid the blame with hanging the paper horizontally whilst he'd said it should be vertical (even tho the image would be 90 degrees out). There's not enough room here for me to describe ,my disappointment with the final outcome, but what sums up Tom's attitude perfectly was, when he was peeling off the ill fated mural and it was bringing bits of paint and plaster with it, he commented to my wife "look at what it's doing!" - Obviously nothing to do with Tom!!

He is very thorough in his job. Before taking my job, he asked for every detail about the job and gave me a very reasonable price after checking the boiler. He serviced the boiler and balanced the radiator. He has done an excellent job. I'm happy to recommend and call him in future.

Callum did an excellent job. When he came to give an estimate for the job he was able to give me good knowledgeable advice on what was needed. He was friendly and approachable. I felt very comfortable letting him into my house. He arrived on time. He completed the job efficiently and quickly. He tidied everything up and left the room clean and tidy. Would definitely use him again.

Florian did a great job and was able to come and carry out the paint work in short notice! The finishing was immaculate and he was much faster than I thought, I actually regret not having him paint some more of my walls! I would highly recommend his services and plan to use him for any future paint jobs for my Gateshead property :)

Questions to ask a Gateshead painter and decorator

Choosing a Gateshead 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 Gateshead?

From period terraces and cottage interiors to modern flats, each property in Gateshead 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 Gateshead?

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 Gateshead?

Decorating listed buildings in Gateshead 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 Gateshead painting and decorating services

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

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 Gateshead homes?

In Gateshead, 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 Gateshead?

Surface preparation in Gateshead 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 Gateshead 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.
