Arranmac came to help me get a house prepared for sale, they prepped and painted the outside and did some touch up work on the inside. Excellent work, turned up when they said they would, and the work was to a very good standard. Will use again for sure

What types of domestic properties do you decorate?

We decorate all types of homes, including houses, flats, maisonettes, HMOs and rental properties across Bournemouth, Poole and the wider Dorset area. Whether you need full internal redecoration, a single room refresh, or external house painting, we have experience working in lived-in homes, vacant properties and tenanted spaces. Our work covers everything from walls, ceilings and woodwork to exterior walls, render and fences.

How long will it take to decorate my home?

It depends on the size of the property and the scope of work. A single room typically takes one to two days including preparation. A full house redecoration might take one to two weeks. We will give you a realistic timeframe during our initial visit and we stick to it.

What’s included in your domestic decorating service?

Our domestic decorating service includes full surface preparation (filling, sanding, priming), interior and exterior painting, wallpapering, woodwork finishing, and end-of-job clean-up. We supply all paint and materials unless you prefer otherwise. Everything is planned around your home’s layout and your schedule, with clear communication at every stage. All finishes are applied to suit domestic use, with attention to detail and long-term durability.

Can you decorate my home while I’m still living in it?

Yes, we regularly work in occupied homes and know how to minimise disruption. Whether you’re living in the property or renting it out, we keep spaces clean, tidy and safe throughout the decorating process. We can work in phases to suit your needs — for example, one room at a time — and protect furniture and floors as standard.

Do you supply paint and materials, or do I need to provide them?

We supply all required decorating materials, including paint, tools, and protective coverings, unless otherwise requested. We use high-quality paints suited to domestic interiors and exteriors, ensuring long-lasting, clean finishes. If you have preferred brands or colour schemes, we’re happy to work with them.

Are you insured and qualified to work in private homes?

Yes. We are fully insured and experienced in working in domestic environments across Dorset. All decorators are trained, respectful, and follow health and safety best practices inside and outside the home. We have over 17 years of experience in painting and decorating properties across Bournemouth and Poole, and references are available on request.
