Our New Build Decorating Process

1. Initial Consultation

We begin by discussing your style preferences comprehensively and in detail and your new build's specific requirements and potential challenges. Whether selecting paint colours, wallpaper designs, or finish types and sheens, we provide expert guidance helping you make optimal choices for your new space that you'll love and appreciate for years to come.

2. Site Assessment

We visit your new build property to assess surface conditions and readiness thoroughly and systematically, identify any preparation requirements or potential issues before starting, coordinate with other trades if construction is ongoing avoiding conflicts, plan the decoration schedule efficiently and realistically considering other works, and provide detailed, itemised quotations with absolutely no hidden costs or surprises.

3. Surface Preparation

New build surfaces require specific preparation procedures and techniques for optimal, lasting results. We seal new plasterwork correctly using appropriate products and methods following manufacturer specifications strictly, sand any rough or imperfect areas smooth eliminating texture, fill minor imperfections and gaps thoroughly and carefully, prime all surfaces appropriately for optimal paint adhesion and longevity, and protect floors and fixtures throughout the process preventing damage. Proper preparation of new plaster is absolutely crucial—rushing this fundamental stage causes serious problems within months including peeling, flaking, and poor adhesion.

4. Professional Decoration

Our decorators employ professional techniques applying paint smoothly and evenly to walls, ceilings, and all woodwork elements with precision and care. Whether providing dramatic feature walls, contemporary matt finishes, durable satinwood trims, or expert wallpaper installation, we deliver precise, high-quality finishes showcasing your new property perfectly to buyers, tenants, or for your own proud occupation and enjoyment.

5. Quality Inspection

After completing decoration, we conduct rigorous inspection ensuring all surfaces are perfect and flawless throughout without exception, edges are clean and precise with no paint bleed or overspray, coverage is complete and even without misses or thin patches anywhere, and no areas are missed or below our exacting standards. We apply touch-ups where necessary and ensure the space is immaculate and ready for immediate use or handover.

6. Final Handover

We walk through the property with you ensuring everything meets or exceeds your expectations and requirements completely. The space is left spotlessly clean, tidy, and ready for immediate use, whether for your own move-in, tenant occupation, property marketing and viewings, or final sale completion and handover.

Complete New Build Decorating Services in Shipley

Our new build decorating services encompass every aspect of newly constructed property decoration:
Interior Wall Painting
Fresh, flawless wall painting is fundamental for new builds making strong first impressions on buyers, tenants, or occupants. We provide complete room painting in your chosen colour palette and scheme, dramatic feature walls adding visual interest and contemporary character, multiple finish options including matt, satin, and silk sheens, sophisticated two-tone colour schemes creating depth and sophistication, and specialist preparation for new plasterwork following industry best practices and manufacturer guidelines. New plaster demands proper sealing and mist coats before final painting—we ensure this is executed correctly following strict procedures for results that last years, not just months.
Ceiling Decoration
Ceilings in new builds must be perfect from the start, setting the quality standard for the entire property. We deliver brilliant white ceiling finishes maximising light reflection and creating spacious feelings, smooth, even coverage without roller marks or streaking anywhere, proper treatment and sealing of new plaster preventing future issues and problems, and coving and cornice painting if architectural features are fitted adding elegance. Perfect ceiling work creates bright, welcoming rooms that showcase properties optimally to buyers, tenants, or owner-occupiers.
Woodwork & Trim Painting
All interior woodwork receives our meticulous attention and professional expertise throughout including skirting boards with crisp, clean lines and sharp edges, door frames and architraves with precision detailing and clean cuts, window frames and internal sills for neat, professional finish, internal doors painted on both faces and all edges for completeness, staircases, banisters, handrails, and newel posts with complete coverage, and built-in cupboards or shelving units adding value. We use durable satinwood or gloss finishes specifically designed for new timber, providing proper undercoats and multiple finish coats delivering showroom-quality results that withstand daily use and wear.
Wallpaper Installation
Many homeowners and developers personalise new builds with wallpaper adding character, warmth, and distinctive style. We expertly install impactful feature walls for bedrooms and living rooms creating memorable focal points, complete room wallcovering for immersive, cohesive effects throughout, designer and luxury wallpapers from leading manufacturers and brands, and textured wallcoverings adding depth and tactile interest. Our wallpaper hanging expertise ensures perfect pattern matching, invisible seams, and flawless application throughout every room without bubbles or imperfections.
Spray Finishes
For certain new build elements, spray finishing provides superior results impossible to achieve with traditional brush methods. We offer professional spray painting for internal doors achieving factory-quality, smooth finishes indistinguishable from new, kitchen cabinets and fitted units with flawless, durable coverage, built-in wardrobes and storage solutions for integrated appearance, radiators and visible pipework for neat, clean appearance throughout, and large flat surfaces requiring perfection and uniformity. Spray finishing delivers smooth, professional finishes that brushes and rollers simply cannot replicate, adding significant perceived value.

Why Professional New Build Decorating Matters

Professional decorators work efficiently and systematically, completing multiple rooms quickly whilst maintaining exceptional quality standards and meeting contracted deadlines without compromise or excuses.
