Rutland

Painting & decorating in Oakham.

Oakham is the county town of Rutland, England's smallest historic county, and sits just west of Rutland Water. Its centre is full of character, with the Market Place and Buttercross, Oakham Castle's Norman great hall and the spire of All Saints' Church, all surrounded by stone and brick buildings that reward careful decorating. Independent shops, cafés, pubs and hotels line the High Street, while Oakham School, holiday lets near the reservoir and a growing number of new homes at Barleythorpe add steady demand for painting.

Business units at Oakham Enterprise Park, on the former Ashwell barracks site, bring commercial work too. We travel from Leicester to Oakham for domestic and commercial jobs of all sizes, with fixed quotes and tidy, reliable crews.

Local knowledge

Landmarks & town centre

Oakham Castle, with its 12th-century great hall and famous collection of ceremonial horseshoes, is the town's best-known landmark, a short walk from the Market Place and Buttercross.

Rutland Water, just east of the town, draws walkers, cyclists, anglers and sailors all year, supporting hotels, holiday cottages and hospitality businesses that need to look their best for guests.

Period shopfronts and town houses around the centre often need sympathetic exterior repainting to keep their character while protecting old timber and masonry.

Business parks & industry

Oakham Enterprise Park, on the former Ashwell barracks site to the north of the town, is home to a mix of workshops, offices, storage and small manufacturing businesses.

Units like these need hard-wearing coatings on walls, floors and metalwork, plus refreshed offices and welfare areas between tenants.

We plan commercial programmes around your working hours, provide RAMS and method statements, and keep access routes clear and safe throughout.

Homes & housing stock

Oakham's housing ranges from historic stone and brick properties in the town centre to Victorian terraces, post-war semis and the large new-build developments at Barleythorpe on the north-west edge of town.

Older homes often have sash windows, panelled doors and solid walls that need careful preparation and breathable paints, while new builds usually need a full interior decoration after the developer's basic finish.

Holiday lets and rental homes near Rutland Water need durable finishes and quick turnarounds between bookings and tenancies.
