Give your Sussex home or business a fresh new look with our interior painting and decorating services. Our experienced painters handle everything from walls and ceilings to doors, windows, and woodwork with an expert finish. We take time to prepare every interior surface properly – repairing cracks or holes in plaster, caulking gaps, and sanding woodwork – so that the final coats of paint go on smoothly and look impeccable. Whether you want to repaint a single room or redecorate an entire property, we can help.
 

• Walls & Ceilings: We apply high-quality emulsion paints to walls and ceilings in the color scheme of your choice, achieving even coverage and perfect edges. Colour consultations are available if you need advice on choosing just the right shade or finish for your living room, bedrooms, kitchen, or office space.
   

• Woodwork & Trim: Our team restores and repaints all interior woodwork such as doors, skirting boards, window frames, banisters, and kitchen cabinets. We use durable trim paints (satinwood, eggshell, gloss, etc.) for a tough, cleanable surface that complements your walls. No brush marks, just crisp lines and smooth results that revive your interior woodwork.
   

• Feature Walls & Wallpaper: If you’re looking to add character, we can create stunning feature walls with paint effects or hang decorative wallpaper (see Wallpapering below for more). An accent wall in a bold colour or print can transform a room – our decorators ensure it’s done with precision and flair.
   

We work on all types of interiors – from modern apartments and traditional family homes to offices, shops, and restaurants. Have a period property or listed building in Sussex?

We have experience with heritage interiors too, using appropriate breathable paints and gentle techniques to preserve original features while giving your space a fresh update. Our interior painters will treat your home with the utmost care, keeping things tidy and cleaning up thoroughly at the end of each day.

Protect and beautify your property’s exterior with our expert exterior painting and decorating services. Sussex weather can be tough on outside surfaces, especially in coastal areas, so maintaining your exterior paintwork is key. We paint all kinds of exterior surfaces, including rendered walls, brickwork, pebbledash, wood siding, fascias and soffits, doors and window frames, as well as fences, gates, sheds and outbuildings. Our team uses weather-resistant coatings formulated to withstand rain, sun and salty sea air, keeping your property looking its best for years to come.

​

Exterior projects begin with thorough preparation: we scrape and sand away any flaking paint, fill hairline cracks in render or wood, treat any areas of mould or mildew, and prime bare surfaces with the correct undercoat. This careful prep ensures the new paint adheres properly and has a smooth finish. We can also perform minor exterior repairs (repointing small gaps, replacing damaged wood sections) prior to painting if needed, so that the surface is sound.

​

• House Exteriors: Whether you own a modern house in Worthing or a historic cottage in Lewes, we will rejuvenate your exterior walls with high-quality masonry paint or render systems in your chosen colour. A fresh exterior painting not only boosts curb appeal but also provides a protective barrier against the elements. We take care around landscaping, patios, and driveways, leaving your property neat and spotless when finished.

​

• Woodwork & Metalwork: We refinish exterior woodwork like fascia boards, soffits, front doors, porches, window frames, and wooden cladding. For fences, gates, and sheds, we offer painting or staining services to revive and protect the timber. Metal railings, wrought iron gates, or metal garage doors can also be primed and painted with rust-inhibiting coatings for a clean, renewed look.

​

• Special Considerations: If your property is near the coast (Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, etc.), we use extra-durable paints designed for coastal weather to prevent peeling or fading. We also understand the requirements of painting listed buildings and heritage exteriors – using breathable masonry paints or limewash where appropriate to allow old walls to “breathe” and stay in top condition without trapping moisture.

​

Our exterior decorators work safely and efficiently, using ladders, towers or scaffolding as required. We adhere to all health & safety standards while delivering a superior finish.

​

From front facades and cottage exteriors to block walls and shopfronts, we’ll enhance your property’s appearance and protect it from weathering. Stand out on your street with an exterior paint job that makes a lasting impression!

Professional wallpapering can completely transform a space with color, texture, and pattern. Our team are expert wallpaper hangers, skilled in applying all types of wall coverings from traditional prints to contemporary designer papers. We handle everything from feature wall wallpaper to full-room re-covering, and we also offer wallpaper removal services to strip out old or damaged paper without harming your walls.

Hanging wallpaper is a delicate task – one wrong move and you can end up with misaligned patterns or bubbles.

R Drummond & Son brings the experience needed for a flawless result. We precisely measure and cut each strip, apply the proper adhesive, and smooth the paper carefully for perfect alignment at the seams. Whether you’ve chosen a bold geometric design for a feature wall in your lounge or an elegant textured wallpaper for a whole bedroom, we will install it with a craftsman’s attention to detail. We can also hang lining paper to smooth out imperfect walls prior to painting or papering, ensuring a uniform finish.

​

Our wallpapering services include:

• Wallpaper Hanging: We hang standard roll wallpaper, vinyl papers, washable wallpapers for kitchens/bathrooms, fabric-backed papers, murals, and more. Complex patterns or mural scenes are hung with care so everything lines up beautifully.

​

• Wallpaper Removal: Tired of that old wallpaper? We use steamers and stripping tools to take off existing wallpaper (and backing paper) efficiently. After removal, we’ll prepare the exposed wall – sanding away paste residue and making any repairs – leaving it ready for fresh wallpaper or paint.

​

• Feature Walls: Want to create a focal point? We can help you choose and hang a striking wallpaper on one wall to accent your space. Many Sussex clients love adding a feature wall in living rooms or master bedrooms for extra character. It’s a cost-effective way to elevate a room’s design.

​

With our wallpaper hanging service, there’s no mess and no fuss – just perfectly papered walls that wow. We take great care to protect your flooring and furniture during the process and to ventilate and clean up afterward. Enjoy a transformed space with professionally hung wallpaper that truly stands out.
