FineLine Decorating have been specialising in interior and exterior painting and decorating for 15+ years from their base in Brixworth, Northamptonshire.

Northampton has an unusually strong pool of professional decorators — Mike Poole and Daniel's in particular carry credentials that would stand up anywhere in the UK. For homeowners investing in quality decoration work, either of those two businesses represents a very strong starting point.
Always ask a decorator for a written quote that specifies preparation work as well as painting — good preparation (filling, sanding, priming) is what separates a lasting finish from one that starts to show problems within a year.
