Our Work

Wallpapered Drawing Room

Wallpapered Drawing Room

Pattern-matched paper around an original chimney breast, with cornicing and joinery painted so the room reads as one piece of work.

Hall and Kitchen Beyond

Hall and Kitchen Beyond

A deep farrow and ball colour in the hall, crisp architraves, and the kitchen beyond finished to the same standard — one run of work through the house.

Panelled Town House Hall

Panelled Town House Hall

Walls, mouldings and a painted console brought to a quiet green enamel, with white doors and ceiling kept sharp against the scheme.

Corridor Mouldings

Corridor Mouldings

Full-height panelling lined, filled and painted so every stile and rail sits flat — a long run of joinery that has to look even in raking light.

New-Build Exterior

New-Build Exterior

Brickwork coated and sashes finished on a Hampshire house, leaving a clean elevation ready for the garden to catch up.

Reception in Progress

Reception in Progress

Chimney piece, walls and cornice under way: protection down, first coats on, the sort of site we leave tidy at the end of each day.

Loft Bathroom

Loft Bathroom

Vaulted ceiling and walls painted out in a loft bathroom — even coverage around the circular window, skirting and sanitaryware left clean.

Country Kitchen Cabinets

Country Kitchen Cabinets

Shaker units and walls painted for a working kitchen: a washable finish that still looks considered next to timber and stone.

Cornice and Woodwork

Cornice and Woodwork

Period mouldings cut in and enamelled — the unglamorous work that makes a room look newly made rather than merely painted.

Family Sitting Room

Family Sitting Room

A whole-room scheme: walls, ceiling and joinery brought to one calm colour so furniture and light can do the rest.

Outside work is timed for dry weather, with sound timber, sealed joints and coatings chosen for British seasons.

Advice Heading Style Image

Clear, practical notes from the decorating team — written for homeowners planning their next project.

Preparing Period Walls for a Lasting Finish

Preparing Period Walls for a Lasting Finish

By Y&P Decorators -

Older plaster is rarely perfect. Filling, lining and the right primer take time, yet they are what stop fresh paint from telegraphing every crack. We never skip this stage.

Choosing Paint for Country Houses and Town Houses

Choosing Paint for Country Houses and Town Houses

By Y&P Decorators -

Light, humidity and the age of the building all shape the right specification. Breathable finishes often suit period walls; tougher washable paints suit kitchens, halls and busy commercial rooms.

When Exterior Decoration Should Be Done

When Exterior Decoration Should Be Done

By Y&P Decorators -

Flaking paint, open joints and damp stains are early warnings. Plan external work for a settled spell of weather and you protect joinery and brickwork before damage sets in.
