About Our Family Business
Serving West Sussex with quality painting and decorating since 1978.
Our Story
In 1978, Alan Boam started a small decorating business in Billingshurst with a simple mission: to provide high-quality painting and decorating services at fair prices. What began as a one-man operation has grown into a respected family business known throughout West Sussex for exceptional workmanship.
Today, Alan works alongside his son Ross, passing on decades of expertise and maintaining the high standards that have earned us a perfect 10/10 rating on Checkatrade from over 370 verified reviews. The business continues to thrive because of our commitment to the values that have guided us from the beginning.
The majority of our work comes from repeat customers and personal recommendations – a testament to the relationships we build and the quality we deliver. Whether it's a single room refresh or a complete property transformation, we approach every project with the same dedication and attention to detail.
