Why Choose Primrose Decor?
20+ Years Experience
Hundreds of Cardiff homes painted across the city.
Insured Professionals
Full public liability insurance on every project.
Clear Pricing
Detailed quotes with everything included. No hidden costs.
Tidy Service

Interior Painting and Decorating Services
Primrose Decor’s indoor painters decorate everything from single rooms to complete house interiors.
Living Rooms & Bedrooms
Fresh, modern colour schemes or period-appropriate palettes for your main living spaces. We’ll help you create rooms that feel welcoming and right for your home. Whether that’s a calming bedroom retreat or a vibrant living room for family gatherings.
Hallways, Staircases & Landings
High-traffic areas need durable, scuff-resistant finishes. These stand up to daily wear. We specialise in painting Cardiff’s terraced properties where narrow hallways and steep staircases require careful attention. For Victorian properties with traditional embossed wallpapers like Lincrusta and Anaglypta, we’re experienced in both hanging and painting these period features.
Kitchens & Bathrooms
Moisture-resistant finishes designed for Cardiff’s climate. Cardiff gets approximately 1,100mm of rainfall annually. Many properties have solid stone walls. We use specialist anti-condensation coatings that prevent damp and mould in humid spaces.
Feature Walls & Wallpapering
Create striking focal points with bold accent colours or professional wallpaper hanging. Whether you want something contemporary or traditional, we’ll execute the look you’re after. Clean lines and perfect pattern matching.
Full House Interior Painting
Complete property transformations with full house painting. We’ll refresh your entire Cardiff home from top to bottom. This includes ceilings, walls, and all woodwork—skirting boards, architraves, doors, and window frames.
Period Property Expertise
Cardiff’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces have architectural details that need specialist care. High ceilings (particularly on Cathedral Road and Pontcanna’s tree-lined streets), ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, deep skirting boards, and bay windows. We know how to respect original features whilst creating fresh, modern colour schemes.

Exterior Painting and Decorating Services
Protect and refresh your Cardiff home’s exterior with professional outdoor painting designed for Welsh weather.
House Exterior Walls
We refresh rendered walls, brickwork, and painted stone with durable, weather-resistant coatings. Cardiff’s distinctive building materials each need specific treatment. Pennant Sandstone in garden walls needs breathable paints. Bath Stone window dressings in Canton and Pontcanna require careful attention to preserve this porous limestone.
Windows, Doors & Woodwork
Protective finishes for window frames, sash windows, doors, fascias, and soffits. Cardiff’s damp climate is particularly hard on wooden surfaces. We use specialist paints that seal and protect.
For period property painting, we’re experienced in sash window restoration and painting that ensures smooth operation.

Commercial Painting Services in Cardiff
Professional commercial painting for Cardiff businesses, offices, and retail spaces. We work with companies across the city—from offices in Cardiff Bay to shops near St David’s Centre, restaurants, hotels, schools, and medical centres.
HMO & Rental Property Specialists
Cardiff has over 3,000 licensed HMOs concentrated in Cathays and Roath. We provide HMO-compliant painting using fire-retardant coatings and durable finishes. These are designed for high-traffic student properties and quick rental turnovers.
Flexible Scheduling
We offer evening and weekend work to minimise disruption to your business. Our commercial-grade finishes stand up to busy environments. Our team works efficiently around your operations.
Our Painting and Decorating Process
1. Colour Consultation
We help you avoid costly mistakes before any paint touches your walls. Wales’s softer light affects how colours appear throughout the day, especially in bay-fronted properties. We’ll explain undertones and provide samples so you can see exactly how your choices look in your specific rooms—no surprises.
2. Thorough Surface Preparation
We fill every crack, sand surfaces smooth, treat any damp or damage, and apply the correct primer for your surface type. Proper prep is what separates paint that lasts two years from finishes that last a decade.
3. Professional Application
Multiple coats with proper drying time between each layer. Quality tools for each surface. Clean edges, smooth finishes, and meticulous attention to detail from skirting boards to ceiling lines.
4. Final Walkthrough
We don’t consider the job finished until you’re completely satisfied. We’ll walk through the completed work with you and address any concerns before we pack up.
How to Get Started
1. Free Consultation & Site Visit
We visit your Cardiff property to assess the work and understand what you want to achieve. We’ll discuss your colour preferences, inspect surface conditions, and answer any questions.
2. Detailed Written Quote
You’ll receive a clear, itemised quote with transparent pricing. Everything included upfront—no hidden costs or surprises.
3. Book Your Project
Once you’re happy with the quote, we’ll schedule your project at a time that suits you. We require a deposit to secure your dates and purchase materials. This covers paints and supplies for your specific project.
4. Payment on Completion
Final payment is due when the work is complete and you’re fully satisfied with the results. We accept bank transfers and direct debit.

Clean and Tidy Painting Services
Complete Protection
Dust sheets go down on floors, furniture, and fixtures from the moment we arrive. You don’t need to clear rooms or move heavy furniture—we handle it and protect everything staying put.
Mindful of Cardiff’s Tight Streets
We use compact vans and schedule deliveries carefully to minimise parking disruption on narrow terraced streets in areas like Cathays and Roath.
Daily Cleanup & Room-by-Room Work
We tidy at the end of each day so your home stays liveable. We work room by room, not all at once, so you can carry on with normal life whilst we transform your space.
Low-Odour Paints
We use low-odour paints so you can stay comfortably at home during the work. No need to decamp to your sister’s for a week.
Key-Safe Access for Busy Schedules
For professionals who can’t be home during the day, we offer secure key-safe access protocols. You can be at work whilst we respect your property.
Final Deep Clean
When we finish, we remove all materials and dust sheets and leave your home spotless—not just beautifully painted, but clean and tidy too.

Professional Painters vs DIY: Why Hire a Painting Company?
For small touch-ups, DIY makes sense.
For complete rooms or whole properties, professional painters deliver better results, faster completion, and genuine peace of mind.
Time and Expertise
A single room takes most DIYers 2-3 weekends to finish. Our professional painters complete the same room in 1-2 days with a better finish.
Where DIY Projects Fail: Surface Preparation
Most DIY painting failures happen during prep work. By the time paint starts peeling a year later, it’s too late. We know how to prepare different surfaces properly. From breathable paints for Pennant Sandstone to treating Bath Stone window surrounds. We stand behind the results.
Quality Materials and Climate Knowledge
We have trade access to specialised products for Cardiff’s climate. The right primers, exterior coatings for Welsh weather, marine-grade paints for coastal areas.
Property Value
Professional painting protects and increases your home’s value. Quality finishes last years longer than DIY work. With moving costs high, many clients choose to “improve not move”. They invest in full-house redecoration instead.
Completely Hassle-Free
We handle everything: materials, preparation, painting, and cleanup. No evenings and weekends covered in paint.
