Freshly painted walls and ceilings in a Thanet home by House and Home Decorators

Wall & Ceiling Painting in Thanet

A fresh coat on your walls and ceilings makes more difference than almost anything else you can do to a room. We start with the prep — filling cracks, smoothing surfaces, sanding and priming — because that's what separates a finish that lasts from one that bubbles and peels after a year. Whether you want a bright and airy feel or something warm and cosy, we'll get it right first time.

We use professional-grade, low-VOC paints throughout — better for your family, better for the environment, and they look great too. Much like our exterior decorating work, the finish we leave behind is one we're proud to put our name to.

  • Thorough prep — filling, sanding, priming
  • Low-VOC, eco-friendly paints as standard
  • Colour matching and advice included

Painted staircase, spindles and skirting boards in a Broadstairs home by House and Home Decorators

Staircase, Skirting & Woodwork Painting in Thanet

Woodwork is where a lot of decorators take shortcuts — and it shows. Banisters, spindles, skirting boards and door frames take a real battering day to day, so we always sand back properly, fill any damage, and use durable finishes that hold up to everyday life. Whether you've got a Victorian terrace in Ramsgate full of original period features, a 1930s semi in Margate, or a modern home in Broadstairs, we'll make your woodwork look the part.

We're one of the few decorating teams in Thanet who take period properties seriously — matching original profiles, using appropriate primers, and taking the time to get genuinely sharp lines rather than painting over the top of the last five coats.

  • Proper sanding and priming — no shortcuts
  • Durable finishes that stand up to daily wear
  • Period property specialists across Thanet and East Kent

Painted radiator and picture rails in a Kent period property by House and Home

Radiators, Dado Rails & Picture Rails

The details matter. Dado rails, picture rails and radiators are easy to overlook but they catch the eye more than you'd think — especially in the older properties you find all across Thanet, from the grand Victorian seafronts of Ramsgate to the Edwardian terraces of Broadstairs. We clean, sand and prime every surface properly, use heat-resistant coatings on radiators, and keep lines sharp and clean throughout.

It's the kind of careful interior decorating work that makes a room feel properly finished rather than just painted — and it's what separates a professional decorator in Kent from someone with a brush and a tin. These finishing touches make just as much difference in commercial properties across Thanet as they do at home.

  • Heat-resistant coatings for radiators
  • Sharp, clean lines on all rail features
  • Period-sympathetic finishes across Thanet

Professional wallpaper hanging and installation by House and Home Decorators in Thanet

Wallpaper Hanging & Removal in Thanet

Wallpaper done badly is one of the most frustrating things to live with — bubbles, misaligned patterns, peeling edges. Done well, it completely transforms a room. We work with all types of wallcovering, from standard paste-the-wall papers to heavy vinyls, delicate grasscloths and bold designer prints.

Whether it's a feature wall in a Margate new build, a full room of traditional pattern in a Birchington cottage, or stripping back decades of old paper in a Ramsgate period property, we prepare the surface properly before a single strip goes up — because that's what makes the difference between wallpaper that lasts and wallpaper that peels by spring.

  • Full surface prep before any paper goes up
  • Pattern matching and bubble-free installation
  • Safe removal of old paper without wall damage

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from homeowners across Thanet about interior painting and decorating.

Every job is different — a single bedroom repaint is a very different project to a full house including woodwork, ceilings and wallpaper. We always visit the property before quoting so you get an accurate price rather than a vague estimate. Most interior painting jobs across Thanet range from a few hundred pounds for a single room to a few thousand for a full property. Get in touch and we'll come and give you a proper written quote, completely free of charge.

A typical bedroom takes one to two days including preparation, priming and two finish coats. A full house interior — including ceilings, walls, woodwork and staircase — generally takes between one and two weeks depending on the size of the property and the condition of the surfaces. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when we come to quote, and we'll stick to it.

We ask that you move small personal items and valuables before we arrive. We take care of moving larger furniture to the centre of the room and fully covering everything with dust sheets before any work begins. We treat every home across Thanet the way we'd want our own treated — tidy, careful and respectful of your property throughout.

We use professional-grade trade paints throughout — typically Dulux Trade, Johnstone's Trade and Little Greene depending on the job. We use low-VOC paints as standard, which means less smell, safer for your family while we're working, and better for the environment. If you have a specific brand or finish in mind, just let us know and we'll work with it.

Yes — we work regularly with landlords and letting agents across Thanet on end-of-tenancy redecorations and refurbs. We understand that turnaround time matters when a property is between tenants, and we'll work with you to get it done quickly without cutting corners on quality.
