Professional Painter & Decorator in Elmswell, Suffolk

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

Elmswell has had a railway station since 1846, and with the bacon factory that followed in 1911 the village grew out across what was once Butten Haugh Green. The Church of St John the Divine on Church Hill, with Sir Robert Gardiner's almshouses beside it, marks the older end of the village.

Elmswell is one of the larger villages between Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket, reached easily along the A14. Most of it has been built in the last century and a half: the 1881 census counted fewer than 200 homes, the village now has more than 2,000, and hundreds more have been given planning permission in recent years. So while there are older buildings around the church, much of Elmswell’s housing is post-war and modern.

Newer homes have their own decorating needs. Fresh plaster needs a mist coat before anything else, hairline cracks tend to show in the first couple of years as a new house settles, and builders’ standard emulsion rarely wears well. We prep properly, filling, sanding and priming, then paint walls, ceilings and woodwork room by room so you can carry on living in the house. Outside, we repaint render, fascias, soffits, fences and front doors with paint suited to the exposure, and we also hang wallpaper, refresh kitchen cupboards and repair or fit coving.

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