Beautifully Finished, Every Time.
Painting and decorating with care in Hartwell
A good decorating finish starts long before the final coat. At Finishing Touches, I bring traditional painting and decorating skills to homes in Hartwell, including interior work, exterior painting and specialist wallpaper hanging.
I'm Steve Tucker, and I've worked in the trade since 1979. I pay close attention to surface preparation, materials and finishing details so the result looks right and is suited to everyday use. I'm fully insured and provide free, no-obligation quotations.
Good work starts with the right preparation
The paint colour is only part of the story. Careful assessment, suitable products and clear expectations all help produce a finish you can be proud of.
- The work is assessed first. I look at the condition of the surfaces and explain any preparation needed.
- A detailed written quotation. You'll know the agreed scope and what's included before work begins.
- Suitable paints and coatings. Products are chosen for the surface, environment and finish required.
- Attention to the underlying surface. Cleaning, sanding, filling and priming are considered where appropriate.
- A realistic work plan. I discuss timing and access arrangements before the start date is agreed.
- Careful protection and tidying. Nearby flooring, furniture and other surfaces are treated with respect.
- Changes are discussed clearly. If unforeseen work is needed, I'll explain it before any additional cost is agreed.
Wallpaper hanging with a considered finish
Wallpaper can add depth and texture that paint alone cannot provide. Whether you're choosing a detailed pattern for a feature wall or a quieter paper for an entire room, proper hanging makes the difference.
I check the surface, work out the layout and pay particular attention to joins, edges and pattern alignment. My experience with different wallcoverings helps me approach each job on its own terms.
- Statement and patterned papers
- Full-room wallcoverings
- Careful joins and pattern alignment
- Appropriate wall preparation
Professional finishes for interior woodwork
Well-finished woodwork helps tie a room together. Doors, frames, skirting and stair components all need preparation and coating systems suited to how the surfaces are used.
I assess the existing condition and carry out suitable preparation before applying the chosen finish. I can explain the practical differences between gloss, satin and eggshell so you can make an informed choice.
- Interior doors and frames
- Skirting and architraves
- Sills and window boards
- Stair rails and banisters
- Fixed cabinetry and shelving
- Interior trim and details
