The service

Painting and decorating Nottingham can actually book in this month.

Finding a decorator is easy. Finding painting and decorating Nottingham can rely on — someone who turns up on the agreed morning, sheets your furniture before opening a tin, and comes back to touch in the bit behind the radiator is the hard part. ISOS has been cleaning Nottingham homes and businesses since 2005, and the painting and decorating side of the business grew out of the same thing our customers kept asking for: someone reliable, already vetted, who leaves the place tidy.

We are painters. The painting and decorating Nottingham team at ISOS is three time-served decorators, employed by us, not a rotating cast of subcontractors picked up off a platform. They do interior and exterior work for domestic and commercial properties, and they are DBS-checked and insured to exactly the same standard as our cleaning teams. What we do not do is wallpapering or plastering — we would rather point you to a plasterer than hang about pretending. If a wall needs making good beyond filling and sanding, we will tell you at the quote stage rather than paint over the problem.

Preparation is where a paint job is won or lost, and it is the first thing a cheap painting and decorating Nottingham quote quietly removes. Ours includes washing down, filling, caulking, sanding, spot-priming bare patches, and masking properly rather than freehanding a wobbly line along your ceiling. Bare or previously distempered surfaces get a mist coat. Woodwork gets degreased before primer. On homes built before 1980 we work in line with HSE guidance on lead in old paint, which means no dry sanding of suspect coatings.

Because painting and decorating Nottingham properties often runs alongside other work, it slots neatly into the rest of what we do. Landlords pair a repaint with an end of tenancy clean so the property turns around in one visit. Homeowners follow a renovation with after-builders cleaning and then decoration. Offices book a repaint out of hours alongside their commercial cleaning contract so nobody loses a working day. One phone number, one invoice, one team who already have your keys.

Good painting and decorating Nottingham work starts with the tin. We use trade paint from established manufacturers rather than the cheapest on the shelf, because coverage and durability are what you are actually paying for. If you have a specific brand, finish or colour in mind, bring it and we will work to it. If you have no idea, the decorators will talk you through what holds up in a hallway with three children and a dog versus a spare room nobody enters. Product data and safety information for the coatings we use is published by the manufacturers and summarised by the British Coatings Federation.

What we paint

Painting and decorating Nottingham, inside and out.

Our painting and decorating Nottingham crews bring the same decorators, the same preparation and the same fixed written price to every job. The only thing that changes is the weather we have to work around.

Interior painting

Most painting and decorating Nottingham enquiries start here: living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, stairwells, offices, shops and treatment rooms. Cut in by hand, rolled in two coats, edges you can actually look at.

  • Walls and ceilings, matt or wipeable
  • Woodwork: skirting, architrave, doors, frames
  • Stairwells and high ceilings from tower scaffold
  • Radiators, pipework and metalwork
  • Full house repaints and single feature walls
  • Rental repaints between tenancies

Exterior painting

Exterior painting and decorating Nottingham weather allows for roughly half the year. Render, masonry, joinery and metalwork, booked around the forecast, and never started if we cannot finish it properly.

  • Render and pebbledash, masonry paint
  • Soffits, fascias and bargeboards
  • Front doors, garage doors and window frames
  • Gates, railings and rendered garden walls
  • Shopfronts and commercial frontages
  • Work at height per HSE guidance
How it works

Painting and decorating Nottingham in four steps.

Every painting and decorating Nottingham job runs the same way. No hourly rates, no day-rate creep, no returning to the quote once the work is underway. What we write down is what you pay.

01

Tell us the rooms

Call, WhatsApp a few photos, or use the form. Rough dimensions and the colours you are thinking about are enough to start.

02

Fixed written quote

Back to you usually inside the hour, with the preparation itemised so you can see what you are buying. Paint included or supplied by you.

03

Prep, then paint

Furniture moved and sheeted, floors masked, surfaces washed, filled and sanded. Then cut in by hand and two full coats.

04

Walk round together

We walk the job with you in daylight. Anything you are not happy with gets put right before we invoice, not after.

Why choose ISOS

Seven reasons to book our painting and decorating Nottingham team.

Twenty years of working in other people's homes teaches you that the paint is the easy bit. Everything around it is where decorators win or lose the job.

Our own decorators

Three time-served painters, employed by ISOS. Not subcontracted, not sourced from a platform the morning of your job. The same faces from first coat to final walk-round.

DBS-checked and insured

Vetted, referenced, uniformed, and covered by full public liability and employers' liability insurance. Certificates available before you book, not after something goes wrong.

Preparation, not just paint

Washing down, filling, caulking, sanding and spot-priming are in the quote as standard. A cheap quote is usually a quote with the preparation quietly taken out of it.

We clean up. Obviously.

We are a cleaning company. Floors masked, furniture sheeted, dust sheeted, and the room left tidy at the end of every day rather than at the end of the week.

Fixed price, in writing

Quoted per job, never per hour, so a slow morning is our problem rather than yours. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice.

Spread the cost

A full house repaint rarely arrives at a convenient moment. Talk to Henry about splitting the cost across monthly payments, interest-free, agreed before we start.

Twenty years of local reputation

Rated 5★ on Google across 44 reviews. Family-run in Nottingham since 2005, which is a long time to keep getting away with cutting corners.

Payment plans

Redecorating the whole house? Spread it out.

A full repaint, an exterior job, or a rental turnaround before a check-in date can be a serious bill. Painting and decorating Nottingham customers do not have to pay it all in one go. Talk to Henry about splitting the cost across monthly payments, interest-free.

Payment plans are arranged directly with Henry and agreed in writing before any work starts. Ask for the full terms when you book.

Painting and decorating Nottingham — FAQ

Your questions, answered honestly

How much does painting and decorating cost in Nottingham?
Every painting and decorating Nottingham job is priced individually. The cost depends on the number of rooms, ceiling height, how much preparation the surfaces need, whether it is interior or exterior work, and how many coats the colour change requires. We give a fixed written quote before we start, usually within the hour, and the price we quote is the price you pay. On larger jobs you can spread the cost across monthly payments, interest-free.
Do you do wallpapering or plastering as well?
No. We are painters, not paperhangers or plasterers, and we would rather tell you that plainly than do a mediocre job. Our painting and decorating Nottingham service covers interiors and exteriors for domestic and commercial properties. If your walls need replastering before they can be painted, we will say so at the quote stage and you can bring in a plasterer first.
How long does it take to paint a room?
A standard Nottingham bedroom, walls and ceiling in a similar colour, is usually a single day including preparation and two coats. Add half a day if the woodwork is being painted, or if you are going from a dark colour to a light one and the walls need an extra coat. A full three-bedroom house is typically four to six working days. We give you the timeline in writing with the quote.
Do I need to move my furniture and take pictures down?
Move anything precious or breakable, and we will do the rest. Our decorators move remaining furniture to the centre of the room, sheet it, mask the floors and take down curtain poles and pictures where needed. Everything goes back where it was before we leave, and we clean up properly at the end of every day, not just at the end of the job.
Can you paint the outside of my house in Nottingham?
Yes. We paint render, masonry, soffits, fascias, garage doors, front doors, windows, gates and railings. Exterior work is weather-dependent and we will not start a job we cannot finish properly, so we book exterior painting between spring and early autumn where possible and keep an eye on the forecast. Anything above ground floor is done from tower scaffold or a properly footed ladder in line with HSE working at height guidance.
Are your decorators insured and DBS-checked?
Yes. The same standards apply to our decorators as to every ISOS team member. They are DBS-checked, referenced, uniformed, and covered by comprehensive public liability and employers' liability insurance. We have been working in Nottingham homes since 2005 and we are not about to start sending strangers through your front door.
Can you paint a rental property between tenants?
Yes, and it is one of the things we are quickest at. Landlords and letting agents book our painting and decorating Nottingham team to repaint between tenancies, often alongside an end of tenancy clean so the property is turned around in one visit rather than two. Tell us the check-in date and we will work backwards from it.
Which areas do you cover for painting and decorating?
We provide painting and decorating Nottingham city wide and across its suburbs, plus Mansfield, Derby, West Bridgford, Beeston, Long Eaton, Arnold, Carlton and the surrounding NG and DE postcodes. If you are just outside that, send us your postcode with your enquiry and we will tell you honestly whether we can get a team to you.
