WELCOME

C.M. Baker Decorating started trading in 1981 and has, in that time, done a vast array of different projects, both commercial and industrial as well as working for private customers.

The company has a base of assistants that it can call on at any time to suit the various assignments it is given to undertake.

It does not take on volumes of work, but small amounts at a time to make sure that it's quality name carries on into the future.

The knowledge base of the Historic sector is vast and the company has acquired a lot of it in these years, from deciding which paint should be applied to which surface to a mountain of ideas that can be used to apply colour to a given room, from contemporary to speciality heritage colours- the 1500s to 1800s, which incorporates a wide range of brands and also paints mixed by hand using earth products. Give your room A Brush With Colour.

Primers are also very important whether for wood or metal. These, of course, include hard and soft woods, metals such as tin, copper, zinc, aluminium, etc.

We are also adept at cleaning techniques for stone and also delicate areas in churches and stately homes, as well as different paints for same. We also hang wallpapers/coverings such as Sanderson, Zuber, Osborne & Little, Zoffany, Laura Ashley and other top of the range papers.

'Our knowledge and work labour side by side with each other
offering the ideal combination for the future.'

C.M. Baker has also done works for kitchen companies- some well known, some local, but all with the same attention to detail. Aged effects are achieved, matt finishes, drags and washes, subtle yet effective.We are very active in hand painting historic kitchens to make them look as they would have been at that time.

The company strives to stay at the helm in the heritage sector and is quite willing to give advice where it can, some free. Some consultations are, of course, chargeable, but we feel sure we are a library worth remembering.

We also hang 3D effect wallpapers and apply customised paints to walls. Ask for Details.

Our knowledge and work labour side by side with each other offering the ideal combination for the future.
