Yes, we cover Melton Park. The estate sits on the northern side of Gosforth, about three miles from the city centre and a short drive across from our base in Westerhope, so arranging a visit is easy.
Melton Park is a settled, well-kept area, and many of the homes have been lived in and looked after by the same families for years. That often means a room or two that has not been touched in a while, original woodwork ready for a change of finish, or an exterior that just needs a smart fresh coat. Whatever you would like doing, we will come and look, give you honest advice and leave you with a free, no-obligation quote.

Melton Park is a private residential estate in North Gosforth, close to Gosforth Park and the racecourse, with the A1 and the Great North Road nearby. The housing is largely mid twentieth century: semi-detached and detached houses and bungalows set along curving roads with front gardens and driveways. It blends into Brunton Park and North Gosforth, and the shops and services of Gosforth High Street and the Regent Centre are close at hand.
Homes of this age tend to be well built and straightforward to decorate, but they share a few typical features. Many have been extended or had rooms knocked through, so walls and ceilings can show joins between old and new plaster. Ceilings sometimes retain old textured coatings, and woodwork such as doors, skirting and window boards may still carry several coats of yellowing oil-based gloss. Bringing a house like this up to date usually means filling, sanding and painting walls in a modern washable emulsion, and switching woodwork to a cleaner water-based satin. Our woodwork painting service is often the part of a job that makes the biggest visible difference.
Bungalows are common here, and they bring their own considerations: lots of rooms leading off a central hallway, plenty of doors and frames, and often a lower roofline where fascias and soffits are within easy reach. Open-plan conversions are popular too, and choosing a colour scheme that flows through linked spaces helps them feel calm and connected.
Outside, timber window frames, garage doors, porches, fascias and fences need regular protection from the weather. Our exterior painting service covers these, with thorough preparation so the finish lasts.
Painting all the doors and frames in the same crisp finish, and keeping a single wall colour through the hallway, makes the space look clean and calm. Lighter shades help where the hall has little natural light. Rooms leading off can then take their own colours without the house feeling disjointed.
Often, yes. Joins between old and new plaster can show as fine cracks or slight changes in texture. We rake out and fill cracks, sand any uneven edges and apply a sealing coat before painting. Painting both rooms in the same colour also helps the join disappear visually.
Many people find that painted doors look fresher and more modern than dark varnished ones, especially in a hallway with several doors. Varnished surfaces need cleaning, sanding and an adhesion primer before painting. If the doors are good quality solid timber, some owners prefer to keep them natural instead.
A single neutral base across the whole space keeps it calm, with a slightly deeper colour or a feature wall to define the dining or seating area. Kitchens need a washable, moisture-resistant finish, so we often use a kitchen paint in the same colour as the living area emulsion to keep the look consistent.
It varies with exposure, but most timber frames benefit from repainting every few years. South and west-facing frames usually need attention first. Look for cracking paint, bare patches on the sills and soft spots at the corners. Catching problems early keeps preparation simpler and helps avoid costly joinery repairs.
Excellent preparation and top-grade paint products used throughout.
Reliable service for our mixed-use building. Great attention to detail.

Yes. Melton Park is a short drive from our base in Westerhope, and we regularly work in the surrounding areas too, including North Gosforth, Brunton Park, Fawdon, Hazlerigg and Wideopen, so fitting in a visit is rarely difficult.
We do. Bungalows are common in this part of Gosforth, and we decorate them inside and out, including hallways, bedrooms, living rooms, woodwork, fascias and window frames. Single rooms or the whole property, done in one go or in stages.
We are happy to share practical advice on how colours and finishes will work in your rooms, such as how a shade changes in north or south-facing light. The final choice is always yours.
We visit to see the rooms or exterior, check the condition of the surfaces and agree the finish you want. You then receive a free written quote that sets out what is included, with no obligation.
Yes. We move and cover furniture, protect carpets and floors with dust sheets, and mask off fittings. At the end of each day we tidy up so you can carry on using your home.
We agree start dates and working hours with you in advance. If you are going away, have visitors coming or need certain rooms finished first, let us know and we will plan the job around it.
Send us a few details and we will be in touch to talk through the work and arrange your free quote.
