Over the past 30 years of painting and decorating I have seen a lot of changes, not only in the painting industry but the economy also, as we all worry about the current living costs here in the UK, and further afield the war in Ukraine. And of course how the pandemic, Covid-19, changed many things for us, including work practises and day to day living. We have all had uncertain and hard times, but I’m still here and ready to decorate your property.\nSo if you would like some work done, contact me for an estimate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n I have undertaken commercial work as well as residential work in my career and painted properties from warehouses to high street shops, to mansion houses, but most commonly I decorate residential properties, just like yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Styles and fashions continually change, and over the past 30 years there has been styles come and go, and come around again. Colours change as fashion does, and if you want to know the colours for 2023 have a look at my colour trends for 2023 post <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the past eighteen years or so my website<\/a> has had many designs, and my blog has grown and grown with many posts explaining how to decorate, how things are done and product reviews, with now in excess of 120 posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I also created and written the code for four materials calculators, a wallpaper calculator<\/a>, a ceiling paper calculator<\/a>, a tile calculator<\/a> and a paint calculator<\/a>, these have proved to be very popular with lots of hits per day with people working out their materials. These are used not only by DIYer\u2019s but tradesmen also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I enjoy writing blog post’s, although I don’t blog as much as I did for several reasons, but I like helping people who want to do painting and decorating or DIY jobs around the house but are not sure how to go about it. I find this very rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I continue to use social media, you can find me on Facebook<\/a>, I also have a LinkedIn page<\/a>, also a YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n I can’t believe it has been 30 years, I would like to thank my past, present and future clients for their custom and continued support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Painting And Decorating in and around Southend For 30 Years March 2023 sees the 30th year of my decorating career.
