Painter & Decorator Chatteris

Painter and decorator in Chatteris, from Victorian houses to 1990s homes

The 2021 Census counted 11,022 residents in 4,813 households. Council Tax records show a real spread of ages: about 14% of homes predate 1919, roughly 27% date from 1983 to 1999, and another 26% from 2000 onwards. The middle of the range falls in the 1983 to 1992 band.

That mix means one job might involve lining cracked plaster in a pre-1919 house and the next skimming an Artex ceiling in a post-war semi. About 71% of homes are detached or semi-detached, so most houses here have plenty of exposed wall and timber to look after as well.

Listed buildings and the Chatteris conservation area

Chatteris has 111 listed buildings, and all but one are Grade II. The exception is the Grade I Church of St Peter and St Paul. Listed groups include 35, 37 and 39 New Road and 38 to 48 New Road, and the town has its own conservation area, with Fenland District Council as the planning authority.

If you live in a listed house or within the conservation area, check with the council before changing exterior colours or windows, and Graham will raise it when he visits. Our pages on sash window restoration in Chatteris and exterior painting in Chatteris go into more detail.

How a Chatteris decorating job runs

Banworth House in Landbeach is about 21.1 miles from Chatteris by road, roughly a 29-minute drive. Graham visits at a time that suits you, then sends a written quotation, usually by email. We keep to that figure and agree any extras before doing them, and Belinda organises the work and keeps you informed.

Every one of our 12 decorators holds a City & Guilds or NVQ qualification. We're Dulux Select Decorators, and Graham holds associate membership of the Painting and Decorating Association. We tidy every evening, and in Chatteris as everywhere else, nothing is paid until you're happy with the finished work. Rented homes are covered on our commercial painting page.
