Before & After

See the
difference.

Estate stables fully restored — bright tiled floor, varnished timber stalls and repainted ironwork

Estate stables before restoration — tired timber, peeling paint and a cluttered floor

A neglected estate stable block, brought back to life — timber stalls stripped and revarnished, ironwork repainted, the whole space made bright again. Drag the handle to reveal the transformation.

Why Us

Two generations,
one standard.

My father taught me the hard way — everything by hand, sanding back the old toxic paints with the dust in the air, no shortcuts going. That graft is still in every job we touch, and it always will be.

— Elliot Tebbutt

We've been painting and decorating across East Kent since 1987 — father and son, taught the hard way and proud of it. Hundreds of jobs finished, from one-bed flats to manor houses, new builds and village pubs.

We're a friendly pair who care about the little details. All our prep is done with Festool sanders and extractors — so no clouds of dust, no mess in your home. That hard-graft ethic hasn't changed, and it never will.

✦ Dust-free prepFestool sanders & extraction on all prep — no clouds, no mess.

✦ On time, every timeWe say when we start and finish — and we hold to it.

✦ Fresh dustsheets dailyClean sheets down each morning; your home left tidy each night.

✦ Father & sonTwo generations on the tools together.

Reviews

Don't just
take our word.

Paul and Elliot treated our Georgian townhouse with real care. Barely any dust thanks to the Festool gear, and the site was spotless every single day.

Eleanor H. Deal

They turn up on time, keep the cleanest sites I've ever seen, and finish on the day they say. I bring them back to every project I run.

Sophie L. Interior Designer · Canterbury

We were nervous about our Grade II cottage, but they walked us through everything and were so tidy. The rooms haven't looked this good in forty years.
