DUNCAN COOK

Achieve the look you want for less; at Decorating by Duncan Cook you have the power to transform your home with the help of a fully qualified and highly experienced painter & decorator who has been working across the UK and abroad since 1986.

I started my career in painting and decorating having completed a 3-year apprenticeship and 5 years in employment in the field. Usually, you will find that I work alone; however if the project requires extra hands, I do have a team of skilled decorators who I can call upon and trust to deliver the same standard of finish and attention to detail as I do.

My loyal clients recognise me as a dedicated, trustworthy and reliable decorator and I am very keen to maintain the enviable reputation I have gathered in the last 31 years. I offer a high standard of workmanship at very competitive rates whilst always catering to my clients’ preferences.

I undertake work locally, nationally and internationally and have worked everywhere from Edinburgh and Grimsby to Pateley Bridge, Scarborough and as far as Bude. My services have even taken me abroad to Tenerife!

SPECIAL EFFECTS

As children we would write our names on personal belongings because they were ours and ours only. Whether you’ve just moved home or you’ve lived in the same house for 30 years, having your own home is a fantastic feeling.

BLANK CANVAS A house is so much more than four walls with a roof on top; it begins life as a blank canvas which is ready for your unique touch. On moving day you might find yourself with old wallpaper to rip down and there may be a few surprises in store, but this is your home to transform. When you start planning to redecorate any room, there are many things to take into consideration. What finish do you wish to achieve? How much work will you do yourself? How much time do you have? Many people choose to go down the DIY route to try and save some money. However, they end up spending more time than anticipated toiling away for results which don’t always live up to their expectations.

If a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. Unless you have the training, the knowledge and experience, you are going to find that you put yourself under a lot of pressure. Why not save yourself the hassle and call in the professionals?

CREATE A STUNNING FOCAL POINT To achieve something truly special and unique, many people are starting to create focal points using various techniques and special effects.
