Exterior Decorating Project in Exeter – Delivered by Brixham

When Brit Grosskopf, a homeowner of 12 years, began searching for a reliable decorator to update her tired exterior, she turned to TrustATrader. After speaking with three local companies, she chose D&B Decorating—a family-run business based in Brixham—known for its honest pricing, attention to detail, and high-quality finishes.


Although based in Brixham, Dan and the team were happy to travel to Exeter for this project, offering the same level of personalised service and care they bring to homes throughout South Devon.

The Challenge

 

Brit’s property had weathered the years and needed a complete external makeover. While one company was unavailable and another quoted excessively based on assumptions about the property’s value, D&B Decorating stood out for their transparent approach and impressive online portfolio.


"I cannot praise Dan's work highly enough. He has an amazing work ethic and transformed the outside of our house in less than a week to be looking like a brand new house. I was away at the time, but he kept me updated and sent me pictures of the process all along. He is dedicated to doing an exceptionally good job and went out of his way to make the house look amazing, adding extra coats of paints to things he actually didn't charge for. The house looks brand new now and I am eager to have him come back to do the inside. Dan has been fantastic and I recommend him very highly without any hesitation."

Our Approach

Step 1 – Preparation

To ensure a long-lasting result, we coordinated a full soft wash and steam clean of the property before starting. This process removed dirt, algae, and loose paint, creating a clean canvas for our decorating work.


Step 2 – Protection & Care

 At D&B Decorating, we pride ourselves on preparation:


  • All windows were carefully masked and protected.


  • Downpipes were removed to allow for clean, even paint lines.


  • All cracks were filled using high-grade masonry fillers, ensuring the surface was smooth and sealed.


Step 3 – Premium Finish

We used Dulux Trade Masonry Paint, applying two full coats to all rendered surfaces. Every area was carefully coated for uniform coverage and long-term protection.


For the metalwork:

  • Surfaces were thoroughly cleaned and prepped.
  • We applied two coats of MSP paint, known for its durability and clean finish.


Dan also added additional coats in certain areas at no extra charge, going above and beyond to ensure every part of the property looked its best.

The Results

 

In less than a week, Brit’s home was transformed:


✅ Bright, clean exterior with boosted kerb appeal
✅ Professional, seamless paintwork across all surfaces
✅ Enhanced weather protection for years to come


Even while Brit was away, she was kept in the loop:

“He kept me updated and sent me pictures of the process all along.”
