A Star Decorators

Interior decorating · Basingstoke

Commercial interior decorators in Basingstoke.

Interior walls, ceilings, joinery and detail work for retail, hospitality, healthcare and education. Designer spec literate. Substrate specific paint systems. Two pack capability where the environment demands it. Delivered across Basingstoke and Hampshire. Basingstoke mixes a great deal of postwar and later housing, from the estates that grew with the town in the 1960s and 1970s through to newer family homes around Chineham, Brighton Hill and the developments off the Winchester Road. Alongside them sit the older brick cottages and period houses in the villages around the town. We decorate homes across all of it. A lot of local properties are now reaching the point where the original paintwork and exterior finishes are tired, so we handle full interior redecoration as well as exterior masonry and joinery that has weathered. We work in a way that keeps your home usable, taking one area at a time and clearing up properly as we go. Every job begins with a free visit and a written quote, so you know exactly what is included and what it will cost before we start. We carry £10m Employers' Liability and £5m Public Liability, and our painters are Dulux Academy Trained. We finish under a no-snag handover policy, with each area inspected and signed off before it is handed back to you.

Why Basingstoke

Why choose us for interior decorating in Basingstoke and Hampshire.

Track record

  • Joinery, exposed steel, plaster and masonry handled on the same scope. One decorator, one handover
  • Designer spec literate. We read the schedule, flag ambiguities in writing and never substitute a paint without sign off
  • Two pack epoxy and polyurethane capability where substrate or environmental exposure demands it

Right fit when

  • The finish needs to read as designed, not just painted. Sheen consistency and edge definition matter.
  • Multiple surface types share the space (drywall, MDF joinery, exposed steel, masonry) and need coordinated system selection.
  • The PC needs a decorator that survives QS scrutiny on the final inspection, not just the practical completion walk.

Basingstoke programme

How we run interior decorating schemes locally.

01

Survey

Substrate walk: plasterboard, MDF, exposed steel, masonry. Designer spec reviewed. Any ambiguity flagged in writing before mobilisation. Sample finish requirement agreed and cut on the actual substrate.

02

Specification

Stack per surface: walls in Diamond Matt or Sheen 4, joinery in Quick Dry Eggshell, exposed steel in two pack epoxy or PU where the environment demands it. Sheen levels agreed against physical samples, not RAL codes on paper.

03

RAMS

RAMS written for the project: dust control in occupied environments, COSHH for any solvent or two pack products, masking schedule per surface type. Issued before mobilisation.

04

Delivery

Phase by surface type: masking, prep, prime, top coats, demask. Designer or PC walks the line at each phase, not just at practical completion.

05

Handover

Photo record, touch up kit, dry film record where two pack systems were used. Live snag list cleared before sign off.

Frequently asked · Basingstoke

What clients in Basingstoke usually ask first.

Do you cover Basingstoke and the surrounding area?
Yes. We cover Basingstoke and the villages around it, including Chineham, Old Basing, Oakley and Overton. Get in touch and we will arrange a survey.
Can you work around the family while we are in the house?
Yes. We decorate one room or one area at a time, protect your floors and belongings, and tidy up at the end of each day so daily life can carry on.
How do I get a quote?
The quote is free. We come and look at the property, talk through what you have in mind, then send a written quote with the scope and price so you can decide before any work is booked.
Can you work to a designer's finish schedule?
Yes. We read the schedule, query ambiguities in writing before mobilisation, sample cut on the actual substrate, and never substitute a paint without the designer's sign off.
What about joinery specified in oil based finish?
Quick Dry Eggshell water based is our standard. Same hardness as oil, no yellowing, dry within 4 hours. Traditional oil based is available if the spec explicitly calls for it.
Can you do bespoke colour matching?
Yes. Pantone or RAL matched on site, sampled on the substrate and signed off before mobilisation. We carry mixing kit for minor site adjustments.
How do you specify exposed steel?
Two pack epoxy or polyurethane for industrial or high exposure environments, water based hard wearing for indoor commercial. We choose the system by exposure class.
What's the snagging process?
A live snag list is maintained by the site supervisor throughout delivery and cleared before handover. Anything that emerges after handover is dealt with as a priority.
