Why Choose Orchid Decor
Property expertise matters. Maindee Victorian homes (9-inch lime plaster walls) need breathable paints. Glan Llyn developments (former Llanwern steelworks) need different prep. Post-war council homes need moisture management. We know all three.
Fully insured & guaranteed workmanship
Professional indemnity ensures you’re protected. We guarantee every job, fixing issues if they arise.
50% time on prep (most painters skip this)
Cleaning, repairs, sanding, priming—done right means paint lasts 7-10 years instead of 2-3.
Transparent pricing, detailed quotes
No hidden fees. Materials, labour, timeline—all broken down clearly before work starts.
Newport specialists with local knowledge
We understand Maindee Victorian properties, Glan Llyn new-builds, and everything in between. Local expertise you can trust.

What We Paint
Walls, ceilings, woodwork, skirting, doors, cornicing, feature walls. Each gets proper prep and finish coats suited to that surface.
The difference is prep
50% of time goes to cleaning, repairs, sanding, priming. Skip prep and paint fails in 2-3 years. Done right, it lasts 7-10 years.
Maindee/St Julians Victorian (9-inch lime plaster)
Needs breathable primers and careful repair work to handle period plaster correctly.
Glan Llyn modern (plasterboard)
Standard latex primers and faster application—modern properties are more straightforward.
High period ceilings (10-12ft)
Requires different equipment and careful planning to access and paint safely and properly.
Post-war council homes
Need moisture management and careful surface prep for durable, professional finishes.

Materials
Quality paint selection matters—premium paints last 7-10 years. Budget paints last 3-5 years. Better value despite higher cost.
Victorian properties – Maindee, St Julians, Baneswell
9-inch lime plaster walls need breathable paints. Non-breathable acrylics trap moisture leading to peeling and damp problems.
Colour testing
Light changes colour perception. North-facing rooms feel cooler; south-facing feel warmer. We test samples on your walls before commitment.
Health options
Low-VOC paints minimize odour and off-gassing if you’re sensitive to fumes.

Why Hire Professionals
Professional interior painting delivers results DIY simply can’t match—with better value and lasting durability.
Proper prep
We spend 50% on prep. DIY skips this, causing paint to fail in 2-3 years. Professional work lasts 7-10 years.
3-5x faster
Your home returns to normal immediately. No paint supplies cluttering your space for weeks.
Problem-solving
We fix damp, previous failures, uneven plaster, water damage before painting. DIY paints over these problems, causing them to resurface.


Quality finish
Professional techniques create finishes DIY can’t achieve. Smooth, even coverage that looks impressive.
Better value
Bad DIY costs £1,500-£2,000 to fix. Professional job (£1,000-£2,000) lasts 7-10 years with guarantee. Better investment.
