What I do

Painting, decorating and property maintenance for homes across Harrogate and the towns around it.

  • Interior painting

    Single rooms such as a lounge, or the whole interior of a house or bungalow, with neat brushwork throughout.

  • Wallpaper hanging

    Wallpaper hung neatly, including re-papering a wall where a roof leak has spoiled the old paper.

  • Property maintenance

    Property maintenance jobs around the home as well as decorating. Call or email to talk through what you need.

  • A quote and a start date

    I come and look at the job first, then give you a quote and a date I can start.

  • Back for the next room

    Customers often book me again for the next room or the next job around the house.

Wallpaper hanging

A good part of my work is hanging wallpaper. Here are a few papers going up on recent jobs, and the finished rooms.

“Chris recently painted the whole interior of our bungalow. We are absolutely delighted. Being new to the area we were apprehensive when looking for a painter. Found Chris on Facebook and contacted him. He came , gave me a quite and start date. Chris is professional, friendly, organised and very tidy. Chris is very good at communicating and trustworthy so we would highly recommend him.”

“Chris has done several jobs for us since we moved into our home two years ago and will be doing so again. His work is outstanding and his eye for detail and a perfect job is a rarity these days. My wife and I have only had a positive experience of Chris as he is polite and works around our busy home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone, if you want a decorating project done perfectly first time, Chris is your man.”
