Ponteland is a village on the north-western edge of Newcastle, with the River Pont running through it and a village centre that serves the surrounding communities. It is the heart of the area we cover, and many of its homes reward careful decorating.
Homes in Ponteland
Housing here is varied. There are older village properties, mid-twentieth-century family houses, more recent estates and larger detached homes on generous plots. Older houses often have uneven plaster and several layers of paint on the woodwork, so filling, sanding and priming take time. Newer houses usually have plainer surfaces, where the focus is a clean finish, sharp cutting-in and durable paint in busy rooms.
Garden-facing windows, porches and conservatory frames take a lot of weather, so exterior joinery does best with a microporous coating and regular recoating. Hallways and stairs, which take the most wear, suit tougher washable finishes rather than a soft matt.
A typical project in Ponteland
A common Ponteland job starts with a conversation about what is bothering you most, whether that is a tired hallway, yellowing woodwork or a front door that has started to peel. From there we look at the condition of the surfaces, agree what needs repair, and set out the rooms in a sensible order. Many customers choose to do the hall, stairs and landing together, since they are seen as one space and look best when finished consistently.
Because Ponteland homes vary so much in age, we do not apply one system everywhere. We check each wall for stains, flaking or damp, choose the primer to suit, and explain the options for sheen and colour. Where several people live in the house, we talk through drying times and odours so you know what to expect each day.
