A house or commercial unit rarely needs just one thing done to it. A landlord repainting between tenants might also need a cabinet refreshed in the kitchen. A homeowner planning a refurbishment usually needs painters booked in for the final stage, not a separate search a month later. DGR Homes covers construction works, painting and decorating, kitchen cabinet painting, and complete property refurbishment, so the same team carries out the work rather than different contractors who have not met each other.

We take on jobs all over London and the wider UK, working with homeowners, landlords, and commercial property owners. A room repaint is treated with the same care and attention as a full refurbishment, the only difference being the scale of the project.

Construction Services

Construction work covers structural changes, extensions, and general building work that goes beyond decorating, stud walls, openings, first fix carpentry, and the groundwork that everything else in a project depends on. Getting this stage right matters more than any other, since a wall built slightly out of true or an opening framed incorrectly causes problems for every trade that follows it.

As a construction company UK property owners can bring a project to from the early stages, we plan the sequence of work before anyone picks up a tool. That means agreeing what happens first, second, and last, so plastering doesn’t start before plumbing runs are in, and painting doesn’t begin before the dust from cutting has settled.

Painting and Decorating Services

Painting seems simple work, unless there are uneven walls or badly prepared surfaces, or previous coats of paint that didn’t suit the surface they were painted on. We take the time to prepare properly before we start painting, filling cracks, sanding uneven areas, and using the correct primer for the surface being painted, such as bare plaster, previously painted and sanded woodwork, or a newly damp-proofed wall which needs to be left to dry before starting work.

If you’ve been typing in painters and decorators near me, because one room has been needing attention for a while, or you’re looking for painters and decorators London wide, searching for a professional to deal with an entire property or multiple rooms, the preparation work we do is important, to give the finish the longest lasting appearance possible.Rushing the process is the most common reason for a paint job to start wearing off after just a year

Kitchen Cabinet Painting

Upgrading your kitchen is expensive and a waste of money if the cabinets themselves are fine. By painting kitchen cabinets you can freshen up old or tired cabinets without having to completely replace them.We sand the surfaces to key them properly, since paint applied straight over a glossy factory finish tends to chip within months, and we use paint designed for kitchen use, one that copes with the daily contact, steam, and cleaning a kitchen cabinet actually gets.

This works best on solid wood or properly primed MDF doors. Laminate or foil-wrapped cabinets need a different approach, and we’ll tell you honestly if your cabinets aren’t suited to painting before starting the job.

Property Refurbishment

Refurbishment covers everything from updating a single flat between tenants to a full strip-out and rebuild of a property’s interior. For property refurbishment London landlords and owners often need, timing tends to matter as much as the work itself, a void period costs money, so we plan the trades in the right order to avoid a job dragging on longer than it needs to.

On larger refurbishments, painting and decorating usually comes last, once plastering, flooring, and any construction work are finished. Kitchen cabinet painting or replacement often fits into this same schedule if the kitchen isn’t otherwise being changed.

How We Work

Every job starts with a site visit rather than a quote based on a phone description. We look at the actual condition of the walls, cabinets, or structure involved, since two rooms that sound identical over the phone can need very different amounts of preparation. From there, we set out what the job involves and roughly how long it’ll take, so there’s no surprise once work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you paint kitchen cabinets without replacing the doors? 

Usually yes, provided the doors are solid wood or properly primed MDF rather than laminate.

Can painting and decorating be booked as part of a refurbishment? 

Yes, it’s usually the final stage once other trades have finished their work.

Do you take on both small painting jobs and full refurbishments? 

Yes, from a single room to a full property, the process just scales with the job.

How do you handle a property with damp before decorating? 

We check the wall’s dried out properly before painting, since paint applied too soon won’t hold.

Do you work with landlords managing multiple properties? 

Yes, we take on both one-off jobs and ongoing work across a portfolio.
