Painting and Decorating Services

Costs vary depending on the size of the job, the condition of the surfaces, and the materials involved. We price every job individually and provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.

Get in touch via our contact page with a brief description of the work – photos help if you have them. We’ll visit the property, assess the job properly, and come back to you with a no-obligation quote. We don’t price work without seeing it first.

Look for someone with a local portfolio you can actually see, verifiable client reviews, and a team that communicates clearly from the outset. We’ve been working in Winchester and across Hampshire for years and are happy to share examples of previous projects and client references before you commit.

It’s worth asking whether they visit the property before quoting, how they handle surface preparation, what products they use, and how they keep you informed throughout. At OA, we visit every job before pricing it and provide a detailed scope of work so there are no surprises.

Dustless sanding uses specialist equipment that extracts dust at source rather than letting it settle throughout the room. We use dustless sanding techniques as standard where applicable – it significantly reduces mess and disruption, particularly in occupied homes or commercial spaces.

Matt works well on walls in living rooms and bedrooms. Eggshell and satin are more durable and easier to wipe clean, making them the better choice for kitchens, hallways, and children’s rooms. For woodwork and doors, satin or full gloss gives the most hardwearing result. We’ll guide you through the options for each space.

Matt has a flat, chalky finish that absorbs light and helps disguise minor surface imperfections. Eggshell has a subtle sheen, is more hardwearing, and cleans up more easily. For any room that gets regular use, eggshell is usually the more practical choice.

Yes. We work with businesses on office repaints, refurbishments, and commercial fit-outs across Winchester and Hampshire, and we’re experienced in working around business hours to keep disruption to a minimum.

The main thing is to clear the room as much as possible and move fragile or valuable items out of the way. We handle all surface preparation ourselves – filling, sanding, and priming – so you don’t need to do anything beyond making the space accessible.

For smaller pieces, yes – clearing the room as much as you can makes things easier. For larger furniture that’s difficult to move, we can work around it or shift it within the room as needed. We’ll agree what’s required when we visit to quote.

A fresh coat of paint in a well-chosen colour makes the biggest immediate difference, particularly on woodwork like skirting boards, doors, and door frames. Wallpaper – whether on a single feature wall or the full hallway – can also transform the space. A two-tone approach, with wallpaper or a deeper colour below the dado rail and a lighter tone above, is one of the most effective ways to add character without overwhelming a narrow space.
