Revitalize your home’s interior with Barker-Whittle’s exceptional interior painting services. A fresh interior paint job does more than just change the colour of your walls – it transforms the mood, protects surfaces, and adds value to your property. Our painters bring careful attention to detail and a deep understanding of design aesthetics to every interior project, ensuring your vision is realized with precision and beauty. Whether you have a contemporary apartment in the city or a classic heritage home, we tailor our approach to suit your style and the character of your space.

Our Process

At Barker-Whittle, we don’t just paint homes — we manage projects with precision, professionalism, and a clear focus on delivering speed, quality, and excellent communication from start to finish. Our process is designed to feel effortless for you and incredibly efficient behind the scenes.

Step 1: Discovery Call

Every project starts with a friendly, no-pressure discovery call. We take the time to understand your goals, your home, and what matters most to you — whether it’s timelines, access challenges, or specific finishes. It’s a chance to see if we’re the right fit and, if so, arrange a site visit at a time that suits you.

Step 2: On-Site Quote & Consultation

One of our senior team members visits your home to assess the space, offer advice, and discuss colour ideas or surface considerations. If your project involves complex areas like stairwells, high ceilings, or multi-storey exteriors, we’ll assess what’s needed to handle those efficiently. You'll receive a clear, itemised quote — no fluff, no guesswork — just a professional proposal outlining exactly how we’ll bring your vision to life.

Step 3: Quote Approval & Project Booking

Once you approve the quote, your project is officially locked in. From this point forward, your home becomes our sole focus — we don’t bounce between jobs or stretch our crews thin. Our scheduling is designed so that your project is completed before we move on to the next one. This approach allows us to work with maximum efficiency and ensures we’re fully present — on-site every day until your job is done.

Step 4: Dedicated Project Manager & Team Allocation

You’ll be introduced to your dedicated Project Manager, who oversees every detail and is available throughout the process. They’ll hand-pick one of our in-house painting teams, chosen based on the specific needs of your home — from heritage detailing to high-end finishes or hard-to-access areas. If needed, we’ll also arrange colour consultations, scaffolding, or EWPs in advance so there are no surprises or delays once we begin.

Step 5: Seamless On-Site Execution

On day one, you’ll meet your Team Leader and painting crew. They’ll walk you through the plan, confirm access and expectations, and then get to work. We arrive on time, in uniform, with everything prepared — and we’re there, every day, until the job is complete. No interruptions, no disappearing halfway through. That’s how we deliver not only speed, but consistency and trust. Your Project Manager checks in regularly, provides updates, and ensures everything is tracking as promised.

Step 6: Final Walkthrough & Sign-Off

Once painting is complete, your Team Leader and Project Manager will walk the site with you to inspect every detail. We won’t sign off until you’re completely happy. We’ll also provide care advice and leave the site clean, tidy, and ready to enjoy — just as you'd expect from a team that takes pride in every finish.
Throughout our process, clear communication is maintained. You’ll know what’s happening each day, and we remain flexible to your schedule – working efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life.

Consultation & Design Assistance

Choosing the right colours and finishes can be overwhelming, but Barker-Whittle makes it easier. Our interior painting service includes personalized consultation to help you select the perfect palette and paint type for each room. Do you want to create a calm, airy feeling in the bedrooms? Or a bold statement in the dining area? We’ll offer guidance on trending colours, classic combinations, and how to use paint sheen (matte, satin, semi-gloss, etc.) to achieve the effect you desire. If you have an interior designer, we’re happy to collaborate. If not, our experienced team members and professional colour consultant are ready to share their expertise. The goal is a result that not only looks stunning on day one but complements your furnishings and lifestyle for years to come.

Our comprehensive interior painting services cover every surface of your home’s interior, executed with care and precision:

  • Walls & Ceilings: From open-plan living areas to cozy bedrooms, we paint all wall and ceiling types (including plasterboard, render, timber panels) with smooth, even finishes. We also refresh ceiling cornices, roses, and trim to restore their crisp lines.
  • Trim, Doors & Woodwork: We refinish interior doors, window frames, skirting boards, and other trim with durable paints or enamels suited for woodwork. The result is sharp detailing that frames your rooms perfectly, using techniques that avoid brush marks for a rich, uniform look.
  • Feature Walls & Special Finishes: Want to add personality to a room? We can create feature walls with bold colour accentuations or apply special finishes (like textured paints, suede effects, or wallpapers) as part of the project. These touches bring depth and luxury to your interiors.
  • Cabinetry & Built-ins: Our painters are skilled in reviving kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, and built-in shelving units. With proper prep and the right paint products, we can transform tired or dark cabinetry into fresh, modern features, all while preserving the hardware and functionality.
  • Restoration Work: For heritage homes or older properties, we offer restoration painting that respects the original character. This may involve stripping back layers of old paint, repairing ornamental plaster or timber, and using traditional colour schemes. Our team delights in bringing out the beauty of period details – from ornate ceiling medallions to antique bannisters – with a meticulous repaint that can look both authentic and vibrant.
  • Stain & Varnish (Timber Finishes): Not all interior surfaces are painted solid colours. We also sand and refinish timber elements like staircases, balustrades, or exposed beams, using stains or clear varnishes to enhance the natural wood grain and protect the material.

With every interior service, quality is guaranteed. We use premium low-odor, low-VOC paints whenever possible, ensuring a safer environment for your family and a beautiful, lasting finish. Barker-Whittle’s interior painting elevates your home’s interior style and comfort, completed with the efficiency and care that define our team.
