Painter and Decorator in Hadleigh, Essex
Decorating for homes, landlords and businesses across Hadleigh, Daws Heath and the surrounding SS7 area — from single rooms and full house repaints through to shop units and flats above the Broadway.
Decorating Both Sides of Hadleigh
Hadleigh is a mix of family housing and a busy stretch of shops and business units, and we work across both. One week it is a full house repaint on a quiet residential road, the next it is a shop interior or a flat being turned around between tenants.
Commercial and rental jobs run to tighter deadlines than most home decorating, so we agree the dates before starting and work around opening hours where a business needs to stay trading. Either way the standard is the same — proper preparation, quality trade paints and a tidy site.
Trusted Painters and Decorators in Hadleigh
Straight answers, fixed prices and the same faces on site from start to finish.
Family Business
Running since 1969 and still in the family. Call about a Hadleigh job and you get Neil directly — the person who will actually be quoting and doing the work.
Landlords Welcome
Rental turnarounds, end of tenancy redecoration and communal areas handled to a deadline, with a written price so there is something clear to put against the property.
Minimal Disruption
Whether it is a home or a trading business, we work to agreed hours, keep the area contained and clear up properly rather than leaving you to it.
What You Get on a Hadleigh Job
Six things that decide whether decorating still looks right years later, at home or in a working building.
Preparation First
Filling, sanding, caulking and priming before any topcoat. It is slower, it is invisible, and it is the whole reason a finish lasts.
Hard-Wearing Finishes
Hallways, communal areas and shop interiors take daily traffic, so they get products chosen to survive it rather than the softest matt on the shelf.
Dates We Keep
Tenancy changeovers and trading businesses cannot absorb a decorator turning up late. Agreed dates are agreed dates.
Written Quotes
A fixed figure covering labour and materials, given after seeing the property rather than guessed at down the phone.
Tidy Throughout
Floors and fittings covered, dust kept down and a proper clear-up at the end of each day, not just at the end of the job.
Sharp Detailing
Clean cut-in lines around ceilings, skirting, frames and coving — the detail an incoming tenant or customer notices immediately.

Before & After: Crack Repairs
Cracks and surface damage are made good before painting starts, which is what gives a job a smooth, longer-lasting finish.
Filling, sanding and priming are carried out as standard on every job, whether it is a family home or a rental being made ready. It is the part nobody sees, and the part that decides how the paintwork looks in a few years.
A Local Firm, Not a Faceless Company
Essex Decorating Solutions has been decorating homes and businesses across Essex since 1969. The trade has been passed down through the family, and the standards were passed down with it.
When you call about a job in Hadleigh, you speak to Neil. When we arrive, it is the same small team every time, not a rotating crew of subcontractors. That is why so much of our work comes from repeat customers, landlords who call us back, and recommendations between neighbours.
Hadleigh Decorating FAQs
The questions we get asked most often about decorating work in Hadleigh and the surrounding area.
Do you cover Hadleigh and the SS7 postcode?
Yes. We are based in Basildon and work throughout Hadleigh, Daws Heath and all SS7 postcodes, along with Thundersley, Benfleet, Leigh-on-Sea, Canvey Island and Rayleigh. If you are just outside those areas, give Neil a call and we will let you know.
How much does it cost to have a room decorated?
It depends on the size of the room, the condition of the walls and woodwork, and how many coats are needed. Rather than guess at a figure, we come out, look at the job and give you a fixed written quote covering labour and materials. Quotes are free with no obligation.
Can you decorate a shop or office without closing it?
Often, yes. We can work around trading hours or split the job into sections so the premises stay usable, though some work does need a clear space to be done properly. Tell Neil how the place operates and he will set out the realistic options.
How quickly can you turn a rental property around?
It depends on the size of the property, the state it has been left in and how much of the diary is already booked. Tell us the date the next tenant moves in and we will say honestly whether we can hit it rather than promising and letting you down.
Do you supply the paint and materials?
Yes, and the cost is included in your written quote. We use professional trade paints as standard. If you have already settled on particular colours or a specific brand, we are happy to work with those instead.
Do you take on insurance and reinstatement work?
We do. Alongside family homes we handle insurance and reinstatement projects, communal areas, offices and shop units, all finished to the same standard as our domestic work.
