About Mark
Your local painter & decorator
I’m Mark, a City & Guilds qualified painter and decorator based in Royston, Hertfordshire, with over 15 years of professional experience transforming homes and businesses across Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex.
Unlike larger companies where you never know who’s turning up on the day, I personally handle every project from the first brushstroke to the final coat. That means consistent quality, clear communication, and real pride taken in every finished room.
Why Choose Me
Decorating done properly
Qualified & Experienced
City & Guilds qualified with over 15 years in the trade. I’ve worked on everything from new-builds to period properties.
Personal Service
I handle every project myself — you’ll never come home to find a stranger in your house. Consistent quality, consistent communication.
Flawless Preparation
The difference between a good decorator and a great one is preparation. I fill, sand, prime and prepare every surface properly before any paint goes on.
Minimal Disruption
I work cleanly and efficiently, protecting your furniture and flooring. I’ll always leave your home tidy at the end of each working day.
