Surrey · GU1–GU4
Guildford is the county town of Surrey, and its housing runs the full range — from the Georgian and Victorian townhouses climbing the cobbled High Street to the generous detached homes strung along the Hog’s Back. I have painted and decorated across the town and its surrounding villages for many years.
Decorating in Guildford
Much of Guildford’s finest housing is period stock that rewards patient preparation: sash windows, panelled doors and original plaster that need making good rather than covering over. Alongside it sits a good deal of substantial 20th-century and modern family housing in areas like Onslow Village and Merrow, where a clean, hard-wearing finish matters just as much.
Working in Guildford’s period terraces means respecting what’s already there — the depth of an old cornice, the line of a panelled door — while bringing rooms up to a fresh, liveable standard. Every job is by brush and roller, hand-finished, whether it’s a single drawing room off the High Street or a whole house out towards Merrow.
