Painters & Decorators Near You
Full service painting and decorating, right on your doorstep in Derbyshire.
Painting and decorating sorted by one team. Not three different blokes off Facebook.
Here is what normally happens. You need a room doing so you find a painter. Then you want wallpaper on one wall so now you need a wallpaper hanger. Then the woodwork needs freshening up and suddenly you are trying to coordinate three separate people who have never met each other. That is why people search for painters and decorators near me. They want one crew who handles the whole lot without the faff.
That is us. Connolly Coatings. I am Kade and I set this up because I kept seeing rooms where the painting was lovely but the decorating was an afterthought. Or the wallpaper looked great but the emulsion around it was rough as anything. When you find painters and decorators near me who actually do both properly, the whole room comes together. Everything flows. You walk in and it just feels right.
Painting and decorating is what we do every single day across Derby. Walls, ceilings, woodwork, wallpaper, feature walls, colour advice when you are stuck between your fifteenth shade of grey. The full package from one crew who planned it and did it. If you have been trying to find a decorator near me who will not leave you playing project manager then give us a shout. That bit is our job not yours.
Paint is just the beginning
A decorator sees the whole room. Not just four walls that need a colour on them. We look at the woodwork and work out whether it needs sanding back to bare or just a light rub down and a fresh coat. We look at the ceiling and notice the hairline crack that is been bugging you. We look at that alcove and think yeah, a bit of wallpaper in there would absolutely make this room.
That is the difference between someone who paints and someone who decorates. We think about how the finished room is going to look as a whole. The way the wall colour relates to the woodwork. How the feature wall pulls the whole thing together. It is not complicated stuff but it is the kind of thing that makes people walk in and go “wow, this looks amazing.”
Wallpaper, feature walls, and all the good stuff
Wallpaper is having a moment right now and I am all for it. Bold prints in the bedroom. Textured grasscloth in the living room. A mural behind the bed that makes the whole room feel like a boutique hotel. People in Derby are getting braver with their choices and the results are brilliant.
We hang everything from paste the wall to paste the paper. Delicate stuff, heavy stuff, the lot. Pattern matching is where the skill is and we are obsessive about getting it right. Every seam flat. Every pattern aligned. No bubbles, no lifted edges, no gaps. If you have ever tried hanging wallpaper yourself and wanted to throw it out the window, you know exactly why people call us instead.

Things people ask before they book us
What is the difference between a painter and a decorator?
A painter puts paint on things. A decorator makes a room look finished. Painting is a big part of it obviously but decorating also covers wallpapering, feature walls, colour schemes, woodwork finishes, and making sure everything in a room works together rather than looking like separate jobs done by separate people. We do both. Always have.
Do painters and decorators do wallpapering?
The good ones do. Wallpapering is a core part of what we offer. Feature walls, full rooms, wallpaper removal, lining paper. We hang all types including paste the wall, paste the paper, and those big mural prints that look incredible when they are done properly. If someone calls themselves a decorator but does not wallpaper, I would be asking questions.
How do I get a quote?
Easy. Call us on 07736 230 446 or send a message through the site. We will come round, have a proper look at what needs doing, talk through what you want, and give you a clear written price. No charge for the visit. No obligation. And absolutely no chasing you up with annoying phone calls afterwards. If you want to go ahead, you go ahead. If not, no hard feelings.
Are you insured?
Fully. Public liability insurance on every job. We can provide proof of it too if you need it for a landlord or letting agent or property manager. It is not negotiable for us. You should never let anyone into your home to do work unless they are properly insured. Full stop.
“They did the full lot for us. Painting, wallpaper in the master bedroom, all the woodwork throughout. Could not believe the difference. The house feels brand new and they were lovely to have around. Genuinely cannot fault them.”
