SP Decorators Applying finishing touches by tradition methods or spray application systems.

I was hoping to get this wrapped up on Saturday, but we find solutions, not problems!

After arriving full of enthusiasm on what was a very warm day (not complaining 😃), things didn't quite go to plan. With all the masking completed, I fired up my sprayer—only for the machine, which has been faultless for the last 6–7 years, to decide it had other ideas. It wouldn't even pump material through.

Thankfully, a quick phone call to my good friend saved the day. He kindly lent me his machine, which I adapted to suit my setup, allowing me to return today and deliver what I'd promised to the building team.

Looking forward to coming back and putting the finishing touches on this beautiful space. 🤩

An external project Alfie and I completed earlier this week.

The key to achieving a quality finish on this project was the preparation. Considerable time was spent ensuring all surfaces were properly prepared before any coatings were applied.

The client wanted the exterior walls to complement the anthracite colour of their bi-fold doors, so we finished the masonry using Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint in anthracite.

The woodwork was coated with an opaque anthracite finish, as the client preferred a modern, low-sheen appearance rather than a traditional gloss finish.

We're delighted with the final result, which has given the property a contemporary and coordinated look.

Another happy client 🙌

This lovely review came from Ann in Heworth after we completed her hall, landing & stairs transformation:

**“Stu, Adam & Alfie are the A Team! The finish of the painting and decorating is superb! But it’s more than the finish. They are the most professional, helpful, respectful and polite team. Nothing was too much trouble and even when an unexpected issue appeared, Stu organised plasterers quickly and rescheduled the work around it. Despite this, everything was still completed within the expected timeframe.
Dust was kept under control, everything was left clean and tidy, and they made sure we were completely happy before leaving. We have no hesitation in recommending SP Decorators — they know exactly what they’re doing. 5⭐ job!”**

Reviews like this genuinely mean the world to us. Thank you, Ann 😊

Also a special thank you from the SP team and Ann did pass on her thanks to Pennys Plastering & Renovations by rectifying 2 very damaged ceilings after we uncovered a disasters under a papered ceilings. James and his team were very helpful and, most importantly, clean 👏

Hire a decorator that takes more pride in his dust sheets than his bed sheets.

We usually take our sheets to a launderette twice a year but our local launderette has since refused due to other tradesman(plasterers) damaging their machines 😂 although stating ours was usually ok, but now a company policy 🥺

*Disclaimer for my landlord* No washing machines were harmed in this process 🫡

£880… that’s how much the paint alone cost on this ceiling.

Applying Envirograf to this ceiling was no easy task in the first place.

But this ceiling had seen better days — old damage throughout and even evidence of a stud wall being fitted at some point in its history. What made the difference here was all the preparation work beforehand.

Remember this marble fireplace we stripped back? 👀

Well… during the process we uncovered a copper plate that some absolute maniac had painted over years ago 😅

After a quick chat with the client, there was only one option really… restore it back to how it was originally meant to look ✨

We don’t just decorate, we restore too 😜

I bought a camera so you lot can see more of how we decorators prep certain items in our day-to-day work life.....

Safe to say, on this occasion I didn’t quite get the camera angle right 😂

So instead of a detailed prep video, you’re all getting an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at… a wall 😂

Here’s a quick run through of a large project we’ve been navigating since December 2025 — a stunning location overlooking our famous River Ouse…
honestly, what a place to stay in the greatest city in the UK, in my opinion.

These two apartments were completed earlier this year; this is the penthouse and Apartment 2. I’d wanted to share them a lot sooner, but it just wasn’t ready while other trades were still finishing their parts.

I’m looking forward to showing you “The House” and Apartment 1 over the next couple of weeks.

The house has a staircase that genuinely reminds me of something from Squid Game… I’ll show you that later 👀

Popped in to check on the plastering team at our Acomb project this morning — yes, the one that was covered head‑to‑toe in wallpaper.

The guys are about halfway through their stage now, so here’s a quick progress update. We follow plenty of brilliant plasterers, and there are a few we’d happily call on if needed, but James and his team consistently deliver for us and our clients. Clean, tidy, quality tradesmen make all the difference… and trust me, we’ve seen some horrors 👀

I’ll share the finished plasterwork before we start decorating, but for now we let it dry properly.

And I’m excited to show you around the project we’ve got in the city centre later this week — keep your eyes peeled 😀
