Home  ·  About

A small company, quietly particular about finish.

Based in South Woodham Ferrers, working all over Essex. Painting, decorating, and a sensible amount of interior advice.

The short version

Painters, decorators and an in-house interior designer.

The Little Decorating Company was founded by Mark Taylor, an NVQ qualified Painter and Decorator, alongside Jules Taylor, a City & Guilds qualified Interior Designer. Based in South Woodham Ferrers, we're well placed to serve the whole of Essex - from Chelmsford and Maldon down through Burnham-on-Crouch and across to Basildon.

We provide a full range of decorating services from repairs and preparation through to painting and wallpapering - everything required to transform your home. The attention to detail is paramount to achieving a high quality finish.

As well as the practical side of decorating, we are also Interior Design Consultants - either to help you with ideas, or to provide a full design service. We also provide decorating services to other local building companies, and as a result of this collaboration can pull on other trades to provide a full range of services as and when required.

For specialist paint effects, we work alongside Kay Marie - the kind of decorative finishes that go beyond standard painting.

What you'll get with us.

A few honest promises from a small firm that doesn't have a sales department.

i.

Honest quotes

A free, written quote with no salesy add-ons. If a job is straightforward we'll tell you. If we'd rather pass on it we'll tell you that too.

ii.

Proper prep

Filling, sanding, caulking, dust-sheets, masking - the unfashionable bits that decide what the topcoat actually looks like.

iii.

Tidy work

We treat your home like a home, not a building site. Floors covered, sockets masked, kit packed away each evening.

iv.

Honest finish

We don't cut corners on coats. If a wall needs three, it gets three. If a colour change needs a stain block, we'll use one.

v.

Communication

We answer the phone. We turn up when we said we would. We tell you about issues as soon as they appear, not at the end of the job.

vi.

Happy to put you in touch with previous customers - and equally happy for you to come and see a job we're partway through.

Excellent service from the initial contact to the finished job. Highly recommended, excellent job and the quality of the painting is brilliant. Chris, Chelmsford
