Meet James
The person who quotes is the person who paints
Fresh Coat is James Hayes, a painter and decorator covering Essex & Suffolk. There’s no sales team and no subcontractors: James visits, talks through what you want, writes your quote and does the work himself.
That means you always know who’s in your home, you can talk to the person actually doing the job, and the standard you saw in the photos is the standard you get.
Thanks for having a look,
James
How James works
Three things you can count on
Prep comes first
Filling, sanding, caulking and priming take time, and they’re what make paint look good for years rather than months. Corners are never cut to save a day.
Your home respected
Furniture covered, floors protected, dust-extracted sanding and a tidy-up at the end of every day. You shouldn’t have to clean up after your decorator.
Straight talking
A clear written quote, honest advice about what will and won’t work, and a decorator who turns up when he says he will.
The right kit
Professional tools, cleaner jobs
Festool and Mirka sanders connected to dust extractors mean old paint and filler are sanded smooth without coating your home in dust, which is better for your health and better for the finish.
Free, no-obligation quote
