Painting and Decorating in Clacton, Colchester and Tendring
Who can do my painting and decorating in Clacton or Colchester?
DB Professional Services arranges painting and decorating for homes, rentals and businesses across Clacton, Colchester and the Tendring coast. The painting is carried out by experienced local decorators we work with regularly, and we give a free written quote first, so you know the price before any work starts. Call 01255 762761.
One call gets it arranged
Most people don’t want to chase three decorators for three quotes. Ring us instead: we look at the job, talk through the scope and colours with you, and arrange the right decorator and the dates. The quote is free. DB Professional Services is the trading name of DDBPS Limited, has been running since 2018 and is already trusted across the area for gutter, roof and window work.
Interior painting and decorating
We paint inside and out. Inside, that covers walls and ceilings, woodwork such as skirting boards, doors, frames and banisters, and full room refreshes before a sale or a move. Furniture is moved or covered, floors are sheeted, and rooms are left clean at the end of each day.
Exterior painting: masonry, render and woodwork
Outside work is where the coast is hardest on paint. Typical jobs are:
- Masonry and rendered walls, including pebbledash
- Fascias, soffits and bargeboards that are timber rather than uPVC
- Window frames, sills and front doors
- Garden walls, fences, sheds and gates
- Weatherboarding on older cottages and outbuildings
On timber, flaking paint is scraped back, bare patches are primed and soft spots are pointed out to you before anything is painted over. If the fascias on your house are already uPVC, they don’t need painting at all; our fascia and soffit cleaning brings them back instead.
Why the sea air matters
Salt carried inland settles on walls and woodwork as a fine film, and paint struggles to grip a salty or damp surface. Facing the sea, wind-driven rain and strong sun break down cheap finishes faster than they would in town. Good preparation does most of the work: washing the surface, letting it dry and choosing a paint made for exposed masonry. Because we already pressure wash and soft-wash homes, we can clean walls properly before the painting starts.
Rentals and landlord turnarounds
Between tenants, a property often needs a quick, neutral repaint before the next viewing. Landlords and letting agents can send us the address and access details, and we’ll quote from a visit or from good photos. Gutters, windows and paths can be done on the same visit so the house is ready to let.
Shops, offices and other commercial work
Yes, we take on commercial painting too. Shop fronts, offices, communal hallways in flats and holiday lets are all work we can take on, and the dates are agreed with you before work starts.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Large parts of Clacton, Frinton, Walton, Harwich, Brightlingsea and St Osyth sit in conservation areas, and the district has many listed buildings. Repainting in the same colour is normally routine, but changing the colour or finish of a listed building can need listed building consent, and some conservation areas use Article 4 directions to control the painting of outside walls. If your home might be affected, check with Tendring District Council’s planning team before choosing a new colour. We’ll flag it at the survey.

Painting and decorating questions
Do you do painting and decorating yourselves?
We arrange it for you, and the painting is carried out by experienced local decorators we work with regularly. Just call DB Professional Services to get it started.
Do you paint inside and outside?
Yes, both. Inside covers walls, ceilings and woodwork, and outside work includes masonry, render, fascias, windows, doors and fences.
How much does painting and decorating cost?
Prices start from £79. Every job is quoted individually after a look at the rooms or walls involved, and the quote is free.
Can you wash the walls before painting?
Yes. Washing off salt, algae and dirt first helps the new paint grip, and cleaning is our main trade.
Do I need permission to repaint my house?
Repainting in the same colour is normally fine. For a listed building, or a home in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, ask Tendring District Council before you change colours.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents?
Yes. We repaint rentals between tenants and can add gutter, window and path cleaning to the same visit.
Do you paint shops and offices?
Yes. We take on commercial painting, with dates agreed with you in advance.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, it’s satisfaction guaranteed.
How can I pay?
Cash, Direct Debit, bank transfer, card or Apple Pay.
