What we paint in Tavistock.
Inside and out, big and small — if it takes paint, stain or paper, it's our job.
Kitchens and cabinets
Sprayed factory-smooth finishes that transform kitchens without replacing them.
Exterior surfaces
Render, masonry, cladding, fascias and front doors — weatherproofed properly.
Woodwork and trim
Skirting, doors, frames, windowsills, stairs and banisters in satinwood or gloss.
Walls and ceilings
Emulsion finishes for every room — matt, silk and durable scrubbable paints.
Garden timber
Fences, sheds, decking, pergolas and garden furniture, stained or painted.
Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your Tavistock project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.
How pricing works in Tavistock.
Your quote in Tavistock is built from the job itself, not a rate card. Three things drive it:
Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.
Condition & prep
Cracks, old wallpaper, flaking paint or bare plaster — honest prep needs, priced up front.
Paint & access
Trade paint choice (or supply your own), and anything needing ladders, towers or scaffold.
Finishes matched to every surface.
Every surface in Tavistock gets a finish chosen for how the room is actually used — not whatever tin was cheapest.
Trust built on guarantees, not gimmicks.
No invented star ratings here — just clear promises we keep on every job.
Fully insured
Public liability cover on every single job, as standard. Documentation for landlords and agents on request.

See prices guideHouse Painting in Tavistock — FAQs.
How long does it take to paint a whole house?
A typical 3-bed house interior takes 1–2 weeks depending on condition and how much woodwork is included; exteriors add a few days in the right weather. Your quote includes a clear schedule.
Is it cheaper to paint before moving in?
Yes, noticeably — empty rooms need no furniture handling and dry faster with windows open, so the same house takes fewer days. If you can give us the keys between exchange and move-in, that's the sweet spot.
Can you help choose colours for the whole house?
Yes — free colour advice comes with every quote. We'll help you build a palette that flows room to room and suits the light each room gets.
How soon can you start in Tavistock?
Smaller Tavistock jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
Are you local to Tavistock?
Yes — we're a local team covering Tavistock (PL19) and the surrounding area, including Lamerton, Mary Tavy, Horrabridge, Gunnislake. That means a nearby crew, fast quotes and flexible dates with no travel premium.
Are you insured to work in Tavistock?
Yes — every job in Tavistock is carried out by decorators with public liability insurance. Need documentation for a landlord, agent or building manager? Just ask and we'll provide it.
