Decorating Homes and Businesses in Basingstoke
Based here, working here
Centurion Decorating is based in Basingstoke. It is our home town, so when you ask for a quote we are not travelling in from the other side of the county; we are usually a short drive away. That makes it easy to pop round and look at the job, and easy to keep work moving once it starts.
Getting to you quickly
Because we are local, we can usually arrange a quote visit quickly and fit it around you. We work 7 days a week, 7am to 9pm, so an evening or weekend visit is rarely a problem, whether you are in the town centre, Chineham, Brighton Hill or out towards Oakley and Old Basing.
The homes we see in Basingstoke
Basingstoke grew fast from the 1960s onwards, so much of the town is post-war and modern housing: estate homes, town houses, flats and a large amount of new-build development on the edges of town. There are also older pockets: period cottages in the villages, and older terraces around the historic centre, each needing a different approach.
What Basingstoke customers usually ask for
New-build owners often want their first proper decoration after the builder's basic magnolia, including sealing and painting new plaster. Families in established estates tend to want hallways, stairwells and woodwork refreshed. Landlords want rental properties turned round quickly, and local businesses on the town's business parks want offices and units painted outside working hours.

Local issues
Common Decorating Problems in Basingstoke
Basingstoke's mix of new builds, post-war estates and older village homes each brings its own decorating problems.
New-build settling cracks
New homes dry out and settle over their first few years, which commonly causes hairline cracks along ceilings, corners and around door frames. These need raking out and filling properly before repainting, or they come straight back.
Thin builder's finish
Many new builds are handed over with a single, thin coat of trade emulsion that marks easily and does not wipe clean. A proper finish needs the right preparation and quality coats on top.
Weathered timber on 1960s–80s homes
Timber fascias, bargeboards and cladding on older estate homes take a battering from wind and rain. Once the paint cracks, the wood underneath starts to rot.
Chalky masonry paint
Rendered walls painted years ago often turn chalky and faded, especially on south-facing elevations. New paint will not bond until that surface is cleaned and stabilised.
Decorating a new build in Basingstoke
If you have moved into one of the newer developments around Basingstoke, it is worth waiting for the house to settle before a full redecoration. When you are ready, we fill settling cracks, seal any bare or patched plaster, and apply hard-wearing finishes in the rooms that get the most use. Airless spraying can be a good option for whole-house jobs in empty or newly handed-over homes.
Refreshing an established family home
In the town's older estates, hallways, stairwells and landings take the most wear. Stairwells are also the hardest area to do yourself because of the height. We bring safe access equipment and get tall walls and ceilings finished with the same clean lines as the rest of the house.
Businesses and landlords
For offices and units on Basingstoke's business parks, and for rental properties between tenants, time matters most. Because we work 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm, we can plan work to keep disruption low and get the space back in use quickly.
Covering the villages too
We work across the villages around the town, including Old Basing, Oakley, Sherborne St John and Cliddesden. Older cottages here often have uneven walls, original timber and lime-based surfaces that need careful preparation and the right products.

What to Know Before You Book in Basingstoke
Planning a redecoration around Basingstoke life
Plenty of people in Basingstoke work full-time, commute up the M3 or juggle school runs across town. That is why we work 7 days a week between 7am and 9pm. A quote visit can happen after work or on a Saturday morning, and the work itself can be planned so the rooms you need most (kitchen, bathroom, children's bedrooms) are finished first and back in use quickly.
Selling or letting in Basingstoke
Basingstoke's good rail links to London and its large employers mean homes here sell and let steadily, but buyers and tenants still judge a property in seconds. Scuffed walls, yellowed woodwork and a tired front door make a home feel neglected. A clean, neutral redecoration before photos are taken is one of the simplest ways to make a property look its best when it goes on the market.
Exterior timing in North Hampshire
The weather around Basingstoke can turn quickly, particularly in spring and autumn. Exterior paint needs dry surfaces and suitable temperatures to cure properly, so we keep an eye on the forecast and use our 7-day availability to take advantage of dry spells. That way fascias, windows, doors and render get painted in the right conditions, not just on the next available weekday.
