Yes, we decorate homes in Shiremoor. It is around six miles north east of Newcastle city centre in North Tyneside, and we often head over from our base in Westerhope to work here and in neighbouring Backworth, Earsdon and West Allotment.
Shiremoor began as a mining village and has grown into a busy residential area with a mix of older terraces, post-war semis and newer housing, plus good Metro links into the city and out to the coast. Whether you need a room refreshed, a full house decorated after moving in or exterior woodwork and render looked after, we will come and see the job and send you a free, no-obligation quote.

Shiremoor's roots lie in coal mining, and some of the older housing near the centre still reflects that heritage, with brick terraces and former colliery homes. Through the twentieth century the area grew with council and private housing, including interwar and post-war semis. More recently, significant new developments have been built around Northumberland Park and the edges of Shiremoor, bringing modern family homes and apartments within easy reach of the Metro and the A19. Many of these are now due their first full redecoration.
Each type of home brings different decorating needs. Older terraces can have cracked ceilings, uneven plaster and woodwork with many layers of paint, so careful preparation is essential. Post-war semis often benefit from a modern colour scheme, fresh woodwork and updated finishes in kitchens and bathrooms. Newer homes need fresh plaster sealing with a mist coat, and settlement cracks filled properly once the building has dried out. Our room painting services cover walls, ceilings and woodwork, leaving each space smooth, even and ready to use.
Shiremoor is only a couple of miles from the coast at Whitley Bay, so wind and rain coming off the sea can be hard on exterior surfaces. Window frames, doors, fascias, garage doors and fences show wear more quickly in exposed spots. We clean, scrape and prime before applying durable coatings, and our garden painting service covers fences, sheds and decking, which often need attention alongside the house. We are happy to advise on colours and finishes that suit both older properties and new builds in the area.
Fresh colours make the biggest difference. Light, warm neutrals on walls, with a contrasting shade on doors or a feature wall, can update a room without major work. Repainting skirting boards and doors in a satin finish gives a crisp, modern look. Updating kitchen cabinets or tiles with suitable paints can also refresh the whole home.
New plaster needs time to dry, often several weeks or more depending on ventilation and the season. A mist coat should go on before full colour. Many people decorate lightly at first and then plan a full redecoration after a year or so, once the house has settled and any small cracks have appeared.
Exterior wood paints and stains designed for garden timber give the best protection. Paint offers solid colour, while stains let the grain show through. The timber should be clean, dry and free from mould before applying. On older fences, any loose or flaking coatings need removing first so the new finish can bond properly.
Rake out loose material, fill the cracks with a flexible filler and sand smooth. For networks of fine cracks, lining paper can give a fresh, even surface. A flat ceiling emulsion hides minor imperfections better than a sheen. If cracks keep returning, check for underlying causes such as movement or leaks before redecorating.
Mid-tone colours such as warm greys, soft greens or muted blues hide marks better than pale shades. A washable emulsion lets you wipe away scuffs easily. Painting the lower part of the wall in a darker, durable colour, or adding panelling, can protect the area that takes the most wear from bags, bikes and pushchairs.
