Interior Refresh in Allestree
Started the year with a full interior for a lovely family in Allestree. The place had good bones but needed that moment when you walk in and think hang on, this can't be the same space. We did the lot—prep, multiple coats, the works—and left it so they could do exactly that. Dead chuffed with how it turned out.
Fresh Finish in Derby
Another one where the client just wanted to feel different in their own home. You know that feeling when you get a fresh haircut and catch yourself in the mirror? Same idea. We took the space from top to bottom, proper prep and quality paint, and the feedback was spot on. Mental how a bit of paint can do that really.
Property Refresh in Spondon
This was a home that had been waiting for a refresh for ages. We got stuck in, did the prep properly—none of that shortcut stuff—and gave every space the same attention. The owner was made up. That's the bit I love: when they ring up or send a message saying they can't believe it's the same place.
Home Makeover in Chaddesden
A dated space that needed bringing right up to date. We spent the time on prep, multiple coats, and made sure the finish was something we'd be happy to put our name to. The client was proper pleased and that's what it's all about. Between you and me, I'm pretty bloody proud of this one.
Exterior Refresh in Mickleover
Exterior job—walls and woodwork—for a family who wanted the place to look smart and last. We used durable stuff so it'll stand up to the weather and still look great in a few years. They were dead happy with it and we left the place tidy. Can't ask for more than that.
Interior Project in Littleover
Full refresh inside this home. Clean lines, good paint, and the usual obsession with getting the details right. The owner wanted that moment when you forget what it used to look like—and that's exactly what they got. Lovely to work with and a result we were both chuffed with.
Space Transformed in Borrowash
This space needed a proper new lease of life. We went in, did the prep right, picked colours that worked, and gave the woodwork a refresh too. The client was thrilled—sent us a message afterwards saying the neighbours had been round and loved it. That's the stuff that makes the job worth it.
Home Refresh in Ockbrook
Several rooms in one home, all given the same care. Calm colours, clean finish, and we made sure we left the place spotless. The family were dead pleased and we got a recommendation out of it too—someone else in the family wants their place done. Best kind of feedback.

Pre-Christmas Home Refresh

Exterior repaint finished in time for spring. Walls and woodwork protected and looking smart. The owner wanted it done before the better weather and we got it sorted. They were made up and we left the place tidy. Job done.
Open-Plan Space in Belper
Big open space that needed pulling together. We refreshed the lot—modern colours, consistent finish—so it felt like one cohesive area instead of bits and bobs. The client loved it. Sometimes it's the flow of a place that makes the difference and we got that right.
