Graham, Belinda & the team

A local Cambridge decorator for homes, schools, offices and colleges.

Graham Halpenny Decorators is a Dulux Select painting and decorating company based in Landbeach, just north of Cambridge. Graham's team of City & Guilds and NVQ qualified decorators handles interior and exterior painting, wallpapering, plastering and commercial work for homeowners, landlords, schools, offices and colleges.

Every job starts with a free visit from Graham and a detailed written quotation. Customers looking for painters and decorators in Cambridge tend to want the same things: careful preparation, good paint, a tidy house at the end of each day and a decorator who turns up when they said they would. That's how we work, from a single feature wall to 38 rooms at Westminster College.

Graham's team of 12 includes specialist wallpaper hangers, and we work alongside a master plasterer, carpenter and wooden floor specialist, so one call covers the whole job.

From our project notes

Pay when you're happy

How a job runs with us

Your satisfaction is the whole point. We keep you informed at every step, from the first consultation to the finished room, and we're always happy to suggest ideas or offer advice.

You don't pay until you're happy with the finished work.

  1. 1

    Consultation

    Graham visits at a time that suits you, surveys the work and talks through your ideas, colours and finishes.

  2. 2

    Detailed quotation

    You receive a written quotation, usually by email, with every cost set out. We stick to it.

  3. 3

    Preparation

    Stain-blocking, filling, lining and sanding with dust-free equipment. This is where a lasting finish comes from.

  4. 4

    Finish & tidy

    Careful painting or papering, a tidy house every evening, and a walk-round with you at the end.

Graham has been my decorator now for a number of years. I wouldn't trust anyone else after a previous bad experience. So patient and kind when I changed my mind. Kept to schedule and helped with a few other minor building issues. Has a great eye for detail and the preparation was spot on. At first I thought, this is taking ages, then when I saw the end result I knew the attention to detail and immaculate prep had paid off. Highly recommended.

Hannah DoranGoogle · 5/5 July 2026

I cannot recommend Graham Halpenny Decorators highly enough. They recently redecorated my entire house, and from start to finish the service was absolutely second to none.

Their expertise was evident throughout the whole process. The colour consultation with Belinda was fantastic – she really took the time to understand what I wanted and provided expert advice that made such a difference to the final result. The standard of workmanship Lucy delivered was exceptional. The attention to detail and quality of the finish exceeded all of my expectations.

The whole team was professional, reliable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s rare to find a company that delivers such a high level of customer service alongside outstanding craftsmanship.

I couldn’t be happier with my newly decorated home and I’m already in discussions with them about decorating the exterior. I genuinely wouldn’t go anywhere else and would recommend Graham Halpenny Decorators to anyone looking for first-class painters and decorators.

Alistair HuntGoogle · 5/5 May 2026

We recently had our entire house decorated internally and externally and are absolutely delighted with the results. Belinda was fantastic in helping us choose colours and finishes, offering great advice throughout the project. Simon, Graham and Lucy were professional, hardworking and took real pride in their work. The attention to detail was excellent, communication was great, and everything was completed to a very high standard. They kept the property tidy throughout and the finished result has completely transformed our home. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality decorating company.

Very professional and helpful, particularly patient during the colour selection process, excellent in advising how to protect different types of surface, highly recommended.

What happens when I ask for a free quotation?

Graham will come to your home at a time that suits you to discuss the work, your choice of materials and finish, and the timing of your project. We'll then send you a detailed quotation, usually by email, to compare and consider.

Is this a quotation or a rough estimate?

We pride ourselves on sticking to our quotations, with no nasty surprises. If you ask for extra work, or something unforeseen comes up, we'll consult you and explain any extra charges before we carry out the work.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We hold £5 million public liability insurance, and you're welcome to ask to see a copy of the policy.

Are all your decorators qualified?

Yes. All our decorators are City & Guilds or NVQ qualified, and we are all Dulux Select Decorators. Graham is an associate member of the Painting and Decorating Association. We have been vetted and tested, and references have been taken up.

Can you handle larger jobs?

No problem. Graham has a team of 12 decorators and we take on jobs of every size, from a single room to 38 rooms at a Cambridge college.

Can I supply my own materials?

Yes, no problem, but please choose good-quality materials; they're really worth the extra money. Or we can supply everything for you.

Can you do other jobs for me?

We can take care of lots of small jobs. If we can't do it ourselves, we know someone who can: we work with a master plasterer, a master builder, a carpenter and a wooden floor specialist. Let us take care of it all.

What if I'm unhappy with the work?

Contact Graham straight away. We'll sort out any problem, and we don't expect you to pay until you're happy with the finished work.
