Our Story and Values
Cloud Painters began with a simple observation: too many London decorating projects were let down by poor communication, missed deadlines, and a lack of respect for the client’s space. We set out to build a company that would do things differently. From our earliest days, we have focused on building long-term relationships rather than chasing one-off jobs. Many of our clients come back to us year after year, and a significant number of our new enquiries arrive through personal recommendation. That, we believe, is the strongest endorsement any decorating firm can receive.
Our core values are straightforward. We believe in honesty, transparency, and craftsmanship. Every quote we provide is itemised and clear, with no hidden extras. We turn up when we say we will, and we keep you informed at every stage of the project. We treat your home or workplace with the same care and attention we would expect in our own. And we never consider a job finished until you are completely satisfied with the result.
Being a small team gives us a real advantage. We are agile, responsive, and personally accountable. You will deal directly with the people doing the work, not a faceless call centre. This allows us to maintain consistently high standards across every project, from a single feature wall to a full exterior repaint of a large commercial building.
How We Work
Every project begins with a conversation. When you get in touch, we will arrange a convenient time to visit your property, discuss your ideas, and assess the scope of the work. This initial consultation is completely free and carries no obligation. During the visit, we will take measurements, examine the condition of your surfaces, and talk through colour schemes, finishes, and any practical considerations such as access, ventilation, and furniture protection.
Following the consultation, we will provide you with a detailed written quotation. This will include a full breakdown of the work to be carried out, the materials we propose to use, and a realistic timescale for completion. We are always happy to answer questions or adjust the specification to suit your budget. Once you are happy to proceed, we will agree a start date and keep you updated as the project progresses.
On the day work begins, our team will arrive on time and prepared. We take great care to protect your floors, furniture, and fittings with dust sheets and masking materials. We work tidily, cleaning up at the end of each day, and we aim to minimise disruption to your daily routine. At the end of the project, we will walk through the finished work with you to ensure every detail meets your expectations.

Materials and Finishes
The quality of the finished job depends as much on the materials as on the skill of the decorator. That is why we use only premium paints and sundries from trusted manufacturers. We are happy to advise on the best products for your specific needs, whether you require hard-wearing, washable finishes for a busy family kitchen, low-odour paints for a child’s bedroom, or specialist coatings for high-traffic commercial areas.
We understand that choosing colours can be overwhelming. Our team can offer practical guidance on colour selection, taking into account natural light, room size, and the existing furnishings. We can also provide sample pots and test patches so you can see exactly how a colour will look on your walls before committing. If you are unsure about a particular finish, we will explain the differences between matt, eggshell, satin, and gloss, and recommend the most suitable option for each surface.
For environmentally conscious clients, we are able to source low-VOC and eco-friendly paints that are kinder to the planet without compromising on quality or durability. Just let us know your preferences and we will incorporate them into your specification.
Health, Safety, and Insurance
Your safety and peace of mind are paramount. Cloud Painters is fully insured with public liability cover, and all our work is carried out in accordance with current health and safety regulations. Our team is trained in safe working practices, including working at height and the correct handling of materials. We carry out risk assessments for every project and take all necessary precautions to protect you, your property, and our staff.
We are committed to maintaining a clean and safe working environment throughout the project. Dust sheets, protective coverings, and barrier systems are used as standard. We dispose of all waste responsibly, recycling where possible, and we leave your property clean and tidy at the end of each day. If you have any specific health or safety requirements, such as allergies or sensitivities to certain products, please let us know in advance and we will do our utmost to accommodate them.
Our workmanship is guaranteed. We stand behind the quality of our work and will address any issues that arise as a result of our workmanship promptly and without quibble. We want you to be delighted with the result, and we are not satisfied until you are.

Frequently Asked Questions
Over the years, we have been asked many questions by our clients. Here are some of the most common ones, along with our answers. If you have a question that is not covered here, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help.
How long will my project take?
The duration of a project depends on the size and complexity of the work. A single room can often be completed in two to three days, while a full house repaint may take two to three weeks. We will always give you a clear timescale in our quotation and keep you informed of progress throughout.
Do I need to move my furniture?
We ask that you remove small items and valuables before we begin. For larger items, we will work with you to move them to the centre of the room and cover them with dust sheets. If you need help moving heavy furniture, please let us know in advance and we will do our best to assist.
Can you work while I am away?
Yes, many of our clients prefer to go on holiday while we carry out the work. We are fully insured and can be trusted to work in your home while you are away. We will keep you updated by phone or email and ensure your property is secure at the end of each day.
What if I don’t like the colour after it is painted?
We always recommend testing colours on a small area before we begin. However, if you are unhappy with the finished colour, we will work with you to find a solution. Additional repainting may incur a cost, but we will always discuss this with you first.
Do you provide a guarantee?
Yes, all our workmanship is guaranteed. If any issues arise due to our workmanship, we will return and put them right at no extra cost. The guarantee period varies depending on the type of work, and full details will be provided in your quotation.
