Professional Painter & Decorator in Ixworth, Suffolk

Are You Searching for a Professional Painter & Decorator in Ixworth?

Ixworth's High Street is a conservation area with a concentration of listed buildings, and next-door neighbours rarely match: render (some of it pargeted), red and buff brick, flint and timber framing all sit side by side. Long flint boundary walls are a feature of Bury Road, Thetford Road and Stow Road.

Ixworth sits up the A143 to the north-east of Bury St Edmunds, and it’s a village where the decorating has to fit the building in front of you. West Suffolk Council’s appraisal of the conservation area points out that there is no single typical style here. Older timber-framed houses, many of them rendered or plastered over, stand alongside red and buff brick houses, the odd thatched building, and newer homes around The Paddock and Commister Lane.

On rendered and timber-framed houses we start by finding out what is already on the wall. Old lime render and plaster want a breathable paint or limewash rather than a modern coating that traps moisture, and pargeting needs patient preparation so the pattern stays crisp. On brick and newer render the job is about cleaning down properly, scraping back anything that’s failing and choosing a masonry paint that suits how exposed the wall is. Inside, we handle anything from a single bedroom to a whole house, along with wallpapering, woodwork, kitchen cupboards and coving.

We're reliable, professional, clean and fully insured, with free quotes and no pressure to commit.
