Painting & Decorating — OCSCompany on site in Berkshire
On the job

A single room, a tenancy turnaround or a full commercial repaint. Our painters and decorators cover Wokingham, Reading and the wider Berkshire patch with a clean, durable finish, on the dates we agreed, and without turning the place upside down for a fortnight.

We use low-VOC, water-based paints as standard. Better for indoor air, faster to dry, safe around children and pets. Surfaces get prepped properly first: filling, sanding, stain-blocking and priming before any topcoat goes on. Furniture is moved or covered, floors get breathable dust sheets, and we vacuum on the way out.

What's included

  • Interior and exterior painting, residential and commercial
  • Wall preparation, filler work and plaster patching
  • Wallpaper hanging, removal and steam-stripping
  • Woodwork painting on doors, skirting, frames and stairs
  • Damp stain treatment, mould wash and stain-block repaints

How we work

Day one is preparation: cover-up, sanding and a first coat of stain-blocker if it is needed. Day two onwards is finish coats, with a final walk-through in natural and lamp light to check sheen, coverage and edges. Most rooms are done in one or two days. A full property repaint usually runs five to ten working days depending on size and detail.
