At D&B Decorating, we provide a wide range of painting, decorating and property maintenance services for homes and businesses in Exeter. Whether you're refreshing a single room, redecorating an entire property or improving its exterior, we tailor our work to your requirements.
Our interior painting and decorating services cover walls, ceilings, doors, skirting boards and other woodwork, while our exterior painting services include rendered walls, masonry, fascias, window sills and timber features. We take care of essential preparation, including filling, sanding and surface repairs, to achieve a neat, long-lasting finish.
We also offer professional wallpapering, from feature walls to full-room installations, with careful attention to pattern alignment and finishing details. Our commercial painting and decorating services help businesses refresh offices, shops, hospitality premises and other workspaces, with projects planned around their practical requirements.
To support our decorating work, we carry out render and plaster patch repairs, addressing cracks and damaged surfaces before painting. We also provide woodwork painting and timber care to refresh worn interior features and help protect exposed exterior timber.
Beyond decorating, our property maintenance services include guttering repairs, replacements and maintenance to help prevent water damage and protect exterior finishes. We also offer drone roof inspections, using aerial imagery to identify visible concerns in hard-to-access areas, as well as selected minor property repairs and emergency lock replacement.
Whatever your project involves, we'll assess the work required, discuss suitable materials and finishes, and provide a clear quotation.
Properties across Exeter range from traditional terraced houses and period buildings to modern family homes, flats and commercial premises. Each property has different decorating requirements, so we consider the age of the building, surface condition and existing finishes before recommending the most suitable approach.
For traditional and period properties, careful preparation is particularly important. Older plasterwork, original timber features and existing paint coatings may require specialist attention. Some traditional walls also benefit from breathable paint systems that allow moisture to escape, helping prevent problems caused by unsuitable finishes.
Exeter is home to several conservation areas, including parts of St Leonards, Heavitree and Topsham. Exterior alterations to properties in these areas may be subject to additional planning restrictions, while work on listed buildings can require consent. We recommend checking any relevant requirements before beginning exterior decorating and choosing finishes that complement the property's character.
Weather protection is another important consideration, particularly for exterior walls, render and timber. Rainfall, moisture exposure and seasonal temperature changes can contribute to peeling paint, cracked render and deteriorating woodwork. We focus on identifying surface problems, completing appropriate preparation and using suitable exterior coatings to help maintain a durable finish.
For rental properties and commercial premises, practical maintenance and minimal disruption are often priorities. We can help landlords refresh interiors between tenancies and support businesses with redecorating offices, shops and customer-facing spaces. By discussing access, timescales and how each area is used, we can plan decorating work around your requirements.
Whether you're maintaining a period property, protecting exterior surfaces or updating a rental or commercial space, we'll help you choose a practical decorating solution.
