A local team that does the preparation properly
Fernmoor Painting & Decorating is a team of five based in Northchurch, Berkhamsted. We have been painting homes across west Hertfordshire since 2013.
Everyone who works in your home is employed by us. We do not use subcontractors, and the person who quotes for your job visits it while the work is going on.
About us
“Most of a good finish is preparation you never see, so we never rush it.”
Priya trained at college in Aylesbury and spent seven years with a heritage decorating firm, working on listed houses across the Chilterns, before starting Fernmoor in 2013.
She still visits every new job to talk through colours and preparation, and she writes every quote herself. The business is named after the lane in Northchurch where she painted her first front door as a self-employed decorator.
