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.

How it works

What happens from your first call to the final walk round.

  1. We arrange a visit

    A member of our team takes a few details and books a free visit at a time that suits you, usually within a week.

  2. We look and give you a price

    Priya or Graham look at each room, talk through colours and preparation and send you a fixed written price within three working days.

  3. We prepare, paint and tidy up

    We sheet and mask everything, prepare the surfaces properly, apply two full coats and clear the room at the end of every day.

  4. We walk round with you

    Before we leave, we walk round each room with you and put right anything you are not happy with. You keep touch-up paint and a colour schedule.

FAQs

Straight answers on price, timing, paint and preparation. If your question is not here, call the office.

How much does a painter and decorator cost?

Every job is priced in writing after a free visit. As a guide, an average double bedroom costs from £480 including VAT and paint.

How soon can you start?

Interiors are usually booked three to five weeks ahead. Exteriors are booked from April to September, and we keep a waiting list for spring.

Do you supply the paint?

Yes, at trade price and included in the quote. If you have chosen a particular brand or colour, we use that.

Are your decorators employed by you?

Yes. Everyone who works in your home is employed by us, trained by us and carries identification.

What is guaranteed?

All our workmanship is guaranteed for two years. If paint flakes or paper lifts because of our work, we come back and put it right.

Will you protect my home while you work?

Yes. Furniture is moved and covered, floors are masked and the room is vacuumed at the end of each day.

Do you charge VAT on top of your prices?

No. Every price on this site and in our quotes includes VAT.

Can I stay at home while you work?

Yes. We work room by room so the rest of the house stays usable, and we use low-odour water-based paints indoors.
