The bloke behind the brush.
Jackson Painting and Decorating is Nick Jackson - a Petersfield decorator with over ten years on the tools and a simple rule: the finish is in the preparation.
Jackson Painting and Decorating Ltd is a small, fully insured decorating firm based in Petersfield, Hampshire, run by Nick Jackson. Most of the work is within half an hour of the town - east Hampshire plus the Surrey and West Sussex borders - and most of it comes from repeat customers and their recommendations. Company number 17182846.
What we believe about decorating
Ninety per cent of a lasting finish happens before the topcoat goes anywhere near the wall. That means dustless sanding with dust extracted at source. Failed caulk cut out completely rather than skimmed over. Rot removed and replaced rather than painted over. The right primer for every surface. It is slower, and it is why the work still looks right years later.
Standards, not slogans.
You deal with Nick
Survey, quote and the work itself - no sales layer between you and the person holding the brush.
Preparation first
Dustless sanding, failed caulk cut out, rot repaired, the right primer. The finish is made underneath.
Written fixed quotes
Itemised and fixed after a proper visit. The price you agree is the price you pay.
Occupied homes
Most jobs are family houses that stay lived-in. Sheeting, masking and daily clear-up are part of the method.
The paints we trust
These are some of the paint ranges Nick has used on the jobs shown here. The right one depends on the surface, the finish you want and what is already there:
Farrow & Ball
Interiors and exterior eggshell where the colour range suits the job.
Little Greene
Intelligent eggshell on cabinetry and fine interior work.
Benjamin Moore Scuff-X
Hard-wearing woodwork and high-traffic paintwork.
Tikkurila
Flat, low-glare ceilings - including Anti-Reflex systems.
Dulux Heritage / Sadolin
Exterior systems chosen for the surface and exposure.
Coat
Cabinetry finishes when the job calls for it.
Who we work with
Nick has painted bespoke kitchens made by Kalluno Design and worked alongside William Hartley Design on a ground-floor interior. The site also includes family homes, period exteriors, furniture, wallpapering and timber repairs.
