Decorating Homes and Businesses in Wiltshire
Covering east Wiltshire
Heading west from Basingstoke along the A303, Wiltshire is within reach. We work in east Wiltshire, including areas around Ludgershall, Tidworth, Pewsey and Marlborough, and towards Salisbury.
Reaching Wiltshire
The A303 and A342 make east Wiltshire a straightforward drive for us. We arrange quote visits at a time that suits you, 7 days a week, 7am to 9pm.
Wiltshire's buildings
Wiltshire is largely rural, with villages of stone, brick and flint cottages, some thatched, alongside farmhouses, converted barns and modern housing around its market and garrison towns.
What Wiltshire customers need
Older rural homes often need breathable finishes and careful preparation. Modern homes want full redecorations and fence spraying, and larger plots mean more fencing, cladding and outbuildings to maintain.

Local issues
Common Decorating Problems in Wiltshire
Open countryside, older materials and exposed properties make Wiltshire homes work hard against the weather.
Exposure to wind and rain
Homes on open downland take the full force of the weather, so exterior paint on windows, doors and render breaks down faster than in sheltered towns.
Breathable walls
Stone and older solid-walled cottages need to let moisture escape. Non-breathable paints can trap damp and cause blistering and flaking.
Large areas of fencing and timber
Rural plots often have long fence lines and timber outbuildings. Left untreated, timber dries, splits and rots quickly in exposed spots.
Uneven old interiors
Older Wiltshire homes rarely have square walls or flat ceilings, which makes cutting in and wallpapering harder without experience.
Stone and period cottages
In older cottages, we pay close attention to the existing surfaces and choose suitable breathable products where needed, preparing uneven walls so the finish looks cared for.
Barn conversions and larger spaces
High ceilings and big open spaces in converted barns are well suited to airless spraying, with timber and details finished by hand.
Fencing and outbuildings
Long runs of fencing and timber-clad buildings are sprayed quickly and evenly, getting into rough-sawn timber that is slow to brush by hand.
Modern family homes
In Wiltshire's growing towns, we handle full redecorations, settling-crack repairs and hard-wearing finishes for busy family homes.

What to Know Before You Book in Wiltshire
Garrison towns and military housing
East Wiltshire has several garrison towns, including Tidworth and Ludgershall, with a mix of service family housing and private homes. Moving in and out often comes with tight deadlines, and we can plan work to fit around those dates, 7 days a week between 7am and 9pm.
Market towns and rural villages
Marlborough, Pewsey and the villages around them have a real mix of older buildings, from brick and flint cottages to Georgian town houses and converted farm buildings. Older properties like these need more thought: uneven walls, original timber and older plaster all affect how a room should be prepared and which products will perform best.
Planning exterior work in open countryside
Rural properties on high, open ground dry out quickly in wind but also take the worst of the rain. We plan exterior painting and spraying for calm, dry days, which matters even more when spraying fences and cladding, to keep overspray under control and give the coating the best chance to last.
