Painting & Decorating in Brighton & Hove

VIP Home Maintenance is a painter and decorator covering Brighton, Hove and Sussex. I decorate homes, rented flats and HMOs inside and out, from a single room or front door to a full property between tenancies, with proper preparation and a clean, hard-wearing finish.

I’m a sole trader, so the person who quotes for the job is the person who does it. I’m not VAT registered, which keeps prices low for homeowners and landlords alike.

Decorating for landlords and letting agents

Rented properties need decorating that is quick, durable and easy to maintain. I work between tenancies or around tenants by arrangement, use hard-wearing trade paints that wipe clean, and use mould-resistant products in bathrooms and kitchens. You get clear quotes, photo updates and invoices you can pass straight to your client or your accounts.

Homeowners

Decorating for homeowners

Whether it’s one tired room or the outside of the house, I’ll give you an honest view of what’s needed, protect your floors and furniture, and leave each day tidy. If you’re unsure about colours or finishes, I’m happy to give a practical opinion based on the room and how it’s used.

Preparation comes first

A finish only lasts as long as the surface underneath it.

01

Fill and sand

Cracks, holes and dents filled and sanded flush so they don’t show through.

02

Block stains

Water marks, smoke and old stains sealed so they don’t bleed through the new paint.

03

Treat mould

Mould cleaned and treated before any paint goes on, then finished in mould-resistant paint.

04

Check the old paint

Woodwork tested for oil or water-based paint so the new coat bonds instead of peeling.

How pricing works

Small jobs are charged by the hour. Larger jobs get a written, fixed quote after a visit, so you know the cost before work starts. There’s no VAT to add, and parking costs, where they apply, are the only extra.

Frequently asked questions

Can you supply the paint?

Yes. I can supply trade paint, or use paint you’ve already chosen.

Can you decorate while tenants are living there?

Yes, by arrangement. I work room by room and agree access times with the tenant or agent in advance.

Do you treat mould before painting?

Yes. Mould is cleaned and treated, stains are blocked, and affected rooms are finished in mould-resistant paint.

What areas do you cover?

Brighton, Hove and the wider Sussex area.
