About this service

What this service involves

A new-build home is mostly there — but the finishing decoration is what turns it from a building site into a home. Fresh plaster, new skirting and untouched surfaces need the right preparation: mist coats, careful sanding and clean-handed work so the finish is crisp from day one. Tell us about your property and we'll help connect you with a local decorator experienced with new builds.
