Andy Strangeway

I established my Painting & Decorating business in 1984, when I was 19. I provide an efficient and tidy service to all my clients. I am trustworthy and a non-smoker.

I place great importance on professionalism, be this in arranging appointments, removing shoes to view potential work, undertaking the decorating in a competent and polite manner or prompt final invoicing.

Although the vast majority of my work is interior, I also enjoy exterior painting. Whilst I predominately decorate private homes, I also relish working on empty buy-to-lets, and holiday cottages. I embrace the opportunity to work on properties when clients are on holiday. I generally cover the Stamford Bridge and York areas, but do consider work further afield.

Farrow & Ball

I redecorate our home regularly on a maximum four year rotating basis. Our walls are painted in Farrow and Ball Modern Emulsion. I strongly recommend Modern Emulsion for walls as it has a lovely depth of colour and a durable finish that all clients have been delighted with. For ceilings, given its lower sheen level of just 2%, Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion is often preferred.

Colour Matching Farrow & Ball

As my paint of choice is Farrow & Ball, I sometimes get asked about colour matching Farrow & Ball paint.

To a certain extent, this is possible. But I recommend that consideration is always given to the official statement from Farrow & Ball: Can You Colour Match Farrow & Ball?

2026/27 Bookings

I appreciate advance bookings, especially when specific dates are required.

Priority is always given to established clients, their families and friends, whilst welcoming new clients whenever possible.
