Our New Build Decorating Process

1. Initial Consultation

We begin by discussing your style preferences and the specific needs of your new build. Whether choosing paint colours, wallpaper designs, or finish types, we provide expert advice helping you make the best choices for your new space.

2. Site Assessment

We visit your new build property to assess the condition of surfaces, identify any preparation requirements, coordinate with other trades if necessary, and plan the decoration schedule. We provide detailed, itemised quotes with absolutely no hidden costs.

3. Surface Preparation

New build surfaces require specific preparation. We seal new plasterwork correctly, sand any rough areas, fill minor imperfections, prime all surfaces appropriately, and protect floors and fixtures. Proper preparation of new plaster is crucial—rushing this stage causes problems later.

4. Professional Decoration

Our decorators use professional techniques to apply paint smoothly and evenly to walls, ceilings, and woodwork. Whether providing feature walls, matt finishes, satinwood trims, or wallpaper installation, we deliver precise, high-quality finishes that showcase your new property perfectly.

5. Quality Inspection

After completing decoration, we conduct thorough inspection ensuring all surfaces are perfect, edges are clean, coverage is complete, and no areas are missed. We apply touch-ups where necessary and ensure the space is immaculate.

6. Final Handover

We walk through the property with you ensuring everything meets your expectations. The space is left clean, tidy, and ready for immediate use, whether for your own occupation, tenant move-in, or property sale.

Comprehensive New Build Decorating Services in Ilkley

Our new build decorating services cover every aspect of newly constructed property decoration:
Interior Wall Painting
Fresh, flawless wall painting is essential for new builds. We provide complete room painting with your chosen colours, feature walls for visual interest, multiple finish options (matt, satin, silk), two-tone colour schemes, and specialist preparation for new plasterwork. New plaster requires proper sealing and mist coats before final painting—we ensure this is done correctly for lasting results.
Ceiling Decoration
Ceilings in new builds should be perfect from the start. We deliver brilliant white ceiling finishes, smooth, even coverage, proper treatment of new plaster, and coving and cornice painting if fitted. Perfect ceiling work maximises light reflection and creates spacious-feeling rooms.
Woodwork & Trim Painting
All interior woodwork receives meticulous attention including skirting boards, door frames and architraves, window frames and sills, internal doors (both faces), staircases and banisters, and built-in cupboards or shelving. We use durable satinwood or gloss finishes designed for new timber, providing proper undercoats and multiple finish coats for showroom-quality results.
Wallpaper Installation
Many homeowners choose wallpaper to personalise new builds. We expertly install feature walls for bedrooms and living rooms, complete room wallcovering, designer and luxury wallpapers, and textured wallcoverings. Our wallpaper hanging expertise ensures perfect pattern matching and seamless application.
Spray Finishes
For certain new build elements, spray finishing provides superior results. We offer spray painting for internal doors, kitchen cabinets and units, built-in wardrobes, radiators and pipework, and large flat surfaces. Spray finishing delivers smooth, factory-quality finishes impossible to achieve with brushes or rollers.
