Painting & Decorating in Stoke-on-Trent

GD Home Improvements takes on interior and exterior decorating for homes across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding towns — single rooms, whole houses and outside woodwork.

Good decorating is mostly preparation. Filling, sanding and priming take longer than the topcoat, and they are the difference between a finish that lasts and one that flakes within a year.

Interior decorating

Walls, ceilings, woodwork and stairwells, from a single bedroom to a full redecoration after building work.

  • Filling cracks, holes and old fixing points
  • Sanding and caulking before any paint goes on
  • Ceilings, walls and woodwork in the order that keeps lines clean
  • Wallpaper removal and preparation of the surface underneath
  • Dust sheets down, tools away and the room tidy each day

Exterior decorating

Outside paintwork takes a beating in Staffordshire weather. We prepare and repaint window frames, doors, fascias, soffits, rendered walls and masonry, and flag up any timber that has gone too far to paint over.

Where rot has set in we can replace the affected sections rather than paint over a problem.

Common problems we see

Peeling exterior gloss, patchy coverage over old dark colours, cracked filler along skirtings and paint applied over damp or dirty surfaces are all straightforward to put right — but only by going back to a sound surface first.

Decorating after other work

If we have carried out roofing, window or maintenance work for you, decorating afterwards is often simpler to keep with one team. It also means any external repairs and the paintwork over them are handled together.

Common questions

Do you decorate single rooms as well as whole houses?

Yes. We take on anything from one room to a full redecoration, inside or out.

How much preparation do you do before painting?

Preparation is most of the job. Filling, sanding, caulking and priming are what make the finish last, so we do not skip them to get paint on faster.

Can you paint exterior woodwork and render?

Yes. Exterior work includes fascias, soffits, window frames, doors and rendered or masonry walls, weather permitting.

Will my house be liveable while you work?

In most cases yes. We work room by room where we can, put dust sheets down and tidy up at the end of each day.

Do you supply the paint?

We can supply materials or work with paint you have chosen yourself — just tell us which you prefer when we quote.
