Painting & Decorating for Brighton Homes

From period properties in Kemptown to modern flats and family homes in Hove, we understand Brighton & Hove homes and what they need.

We can combine decorating with other handyman jobs, scheduling work around your routine to minimise disruption.

For other ways we can help improve your home, visit our Handyman Services page.

Why Choose AI Handyman for Painting & Decorating?

  • Careful preparation for smooth, long-lasting finishes
  • Help choosing colours and finishes that suit Brighton & Hove homes
  • Period-property interiors — lime plaster, cornicing and original woodwork
  • Friendly, tidy decorators with excellent local reviews

A fresh coat of paint or new wallpaper can completely change how your home feels. We focus on detail so you get sharp lines, even coverage and a finish that lasts.

AI Handyman provides reliable, high-quality painting and decorating services tailored to Brighton & Hove properties. We often combine painting with wallpaper removal and hanging in a single visit, and can include plaster repairs where walls need it before decorating.

General Painting & Decorating Brighton & Hove

Most of our painting and decorating work in Brighton is what customers call "general decorating" — a room refresh, a hallway repaint, a full internal redecoration before sale or after purchase. We handle this full range of general painting and decorating across all Brighton & Hove postcodes.

The most common general decorating jobs we complete every week:

  • Full internal repaint of a Brighton terrace before sale
  • Hallway, stairs & landing repaint (high-traffic repaint)
  • Single-room colour change — walls, ceiling, skirting
  • Rental property refresh between tenancies
  • Period property painting (Edwardian & Victorian coving, dado rails)
  • Kitchen cabinet repainting (brush or spray finish)
  • Feature wall — colour, limewash or textured finish
  • Woodwork painting: skirting, architraves, window frames

Need other repairs combined with decorating? Our Brighton & Hove handyman service can combine painting with plastering, carpentry, and odd jobs in a single visit — one fixed-price quote.

Frequently Asked Questions about Painting & Decorating

Clear answers to common questions Brighton & Hove customers ask before booking our painting and decorating service.

Can you help me choose colours and finishes?

Yes. We regularly advise Brighton & Hove homeowners on colour schemes, paint types and finishes that suit their property and lifestyle. We can work with your ideas or suggest options if you are unsure.

Do you provide paint and materials, or can I supply my own?

We can supply high-quality trade paints and materials, or we are happy to work with paints you have already bought. We will confirm what is included in your quote so everything is clear.

Can you work around furniture in a lived-in home?

Absolutely. Most of our work is in lived-in homes. We protect floors and furniture carefully, move items where needed and tidy up thoroughly at the end of each day.

Do you take on small one-room decorating jobs?

Yes. We are just as happy to refresh a single room or feature wall as we are to decorate an entire property. Smaller projects are very common for Brighton & Hove customers between larger renovations.

How far in advance should I book painting work?

Our diary can get busy, especially in spring and summer. If you have a specific deadline, it is best to get in touch as early as possible so we can reserve dates that work for you.

How do I find good decorators in Brighton and Hove?

Ask three things before booking any decorator in Brighton: who actually does the work (many firms subcontract), what preparation is included in the price, and whether the quote is written and fixed. We are directly employed, quote in writing with prep itemised, and the person who quotes is the person who turns up. We are fully insured and rated 4.9★ on Google.

How much does a painter and decorator cost in Brighton?

Prices vary by project scope, but as a guide: a standard single room (walls and ceiling) typically costs £150–£350 depending on size and prep needed. A full 2-bed terrace interior repaint ranges from £1,200–£2,000. We always provide a clear written quote before starting so there are no surprises.

How long does it take to paint a room?

A standard bedroom or living room with two coats on walls and ceiling usually takes one day. Rooms needing significant preparation, feature walls or woodwork painting may take an additional half to full day. We will give you a realistic timeline in your quote.

Do you paint period properties and older Brighton homes?

Yes, we have experience with Kemptown and Hove period properties — Victorian terraces, Edwardian flats, and older plasterwork. We know how to prepare older surfaces properly to get a lasting, professional finish that suits the character of the property.

Can you combine painting with other handyman work?

Absolutely. We regularly combine painting and decorating with other repairs — filling and plastering, skirting boards, door repairs, or general handyman jobs — in a single visit. This saves time and disruption, and is a popular choice for Brighton landlords and homeowners.

Need exterior painting? We have a dedicated page covering masonry, render, sash windows, front doors, fences, and coastal-grade finishes. See Exterior Painters Brighton & Hove →

Decorators Brighton & Hove

Looking for decorators in Brighton & Hove? We are a small, directly-employed decorating team — the person who quotes your job is the person who does it. No subcontractors, no sales visit, no call-out fee. Most quotes are turned around within 24 hours and we can usually start within a week.

As decorators in Brighton and Hove we cover the full job, not just the paint: filling and caulking, sanding, stain-blocking, priming bare plaster, cutting in by hand, and protecting floors and furniture before we start. Everything is put back and the room is left clean.

Where Our Decorators Work

  • Brighton BN1 — Preston Park, Seven Dials, Fiveways, North Laine
  • Kemptown & Hanover BN2 — Regency townhouses, hillside terraces
  • Hove BN3 — Poets Corner, Church Road, Hove seafront flats
  • Portslade BN41 & Southwick BN42
  • Shoreham-by-Sea BN43
  • Surrounding villages by arrangement

Why Brighton Homes Need Decorators Who Know the Stock

House painters in Brighton run into the same recurring problems: Victorian lime plaster that rejects modern vinyl paint, salt-laden coastal air that lifts poorly-prepped woodwork, condensation staining on north-facing bay walls, and conservation-area colour rules in the Regency squares. We prep for those conditions rather than painting straight over them — which is why our work is still sound years later.

Interior decorating is this page. For render, masonry and full house exteriors see our exterior painting page; for a room-by-room price breakdown see the decorating cost guide.

Painter & Decorator in Brighton & Hove — What We Do

Brighton & Hove's mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, Regency townhouses, and modern flats all have different decorating needs. We work across all property types and know the quirks — lime plaster that needs the right primer, damp-prone bay windows, period cornicing that needs careful masking, and colour restrictions in conservation areas.

Common jobs we handle every week:

  • Full internal repaint of terraced houses before sale or letting
  • Feature wall painting in living rooms and bedrooms
  • Repainting hallways, stairs and landings
  • Bathroom and kitchen repaints using moisture-resistant finishes
  • Repainting sash window frames and bay windows
  • Woodwork, skirting, doors and staircase painting in Kemp Town and Hove
  • Period property painting alongside plaster repairs

Serving Brighton & Hove Landlords and Homeowners

A significant part of our painting work is for Brighton & Hove landlords — end-of-tenancy repaints, pre-letting touch-ups, and full property refreshes between tenancies. We understand the time pressure and can often schedule within a week.

For homeowners, we're flexible around working-from-home schedules and can complete one room at a time to minimise disruption.
