Getting to know Sidcup & Bexley
Sidcup High Street & Foots Cray
1930s semi-detached housing — pebble-dash and render exteriors, timber windows usually overpainted more than once.
Old Bexley Village
An older pocket near the river Cray with a scatter of earlier Georgian and Victorian cottages mixed in among the interwar semis, where the timber and render tends to be older.
What we do in Sidcup & Bexley
Exterior Painting in Sidcup & Bexley
The render and woodwork typical of this area's 1930s semis — timber windows stripped back where they haven't already been replaced with uPVC.
See the exterior page →Interior Painting in Sidcup & Bexley
Full-room refreshes that are often the first repaint in a decade or more, most commonly quoted together with the exterior work rather than as a separate visit.
See the interior page →Wood & Window Stripping in Sidcup & Bexley
Where the original timber windows haven't already been swapped for uPVC, stripping them back is usually paired with the exterior work — most common in Old Bexley Village, where the older Georgian and Victorian cottages have timber that's had longer to build up paint.
See the woodwork page →Wallpapering in Sidcup & Bexley
A wallpapering job sometimes comes alongside the interior refresh described above, most often in a hallway that hasn't been touched since the house was originally decorated.
See the wallpaper page →Paint Spraying in Sidcup & Bexley
Paint spraying isn't the typical Sidcup or Bexley enquiry — most jobs here are the render and window work described above — but it's available on the same terms as anywhere else for garden fencing or newer kitchen units.
See the spraying page →Anti-Vandal Coatings in Sidcup & Bexley
Anti-vandal, wipe-clean coatings aren't a common ask in this largely residential DA postcode belt, but we'd quote it the same as anywhere else for a shopfront near Sidcup High Street.
See the commercial page →Commercial & Landlord / EOT in Sidcup & Bexley
Landlord and end-of-tenancy repaints are less frequent here than in the more flat-heavy towns further into London, but we cover it on the same terms for any rental property in the DA postcode belt that needs turning around quickly.
See the landlord page →The finish is in the prep
Four steps. The middle two are where most of the time — and most of the difference — lives.
Consult
We come out, look at the job, talk through what you want. No charge for the visit or the quote.
Prepare
Fill, sand, caulk, mask. Where most of the time goes, and most of the difference is made.
Paint
Two coats minimum, cut in by hand, rolled flat. Quality paint, the right tools, the right order.
Clean up
Hoover, wipe down, take the rubbish with us. You wouldn't know we'd been — except for the finish.
This is a combined page for Sidcup and Bexley, since we cover the whole DA postcode area as one patch. Our completed, verified job is in Welling/Bexleyheath (DA16), not Sidcup itself. A 10/10 Checkatrade review from that postcode: “Incredibly happy and grateful with the service and quality of work received. David was very clear and communicative in advance, and the work speaks for itself.” The reviewer, James R, attached before-and-after photos to the original Checkatrade listing — the kind of visible prep-to-finish evidence that backs up the written review, and consistent with the same “clear communication before the work starts” theme that runs through every review on the profile.
Sidcup (DA14/DA15) and the wider Bexley DA postcode belt are largely 1930s semi-detached housing — pebble-dash and render exteriors, timber windows that have usually been overpainted more than once. It’s the kind of stock where exterior prep — proper sanding and priming before a new coat — matters more than the paint itself, and it’s a big part of what the DA16 review above describes as the job “speaking for itself.” Around Sidcup High Street and Foots Cray, that pattern holds fairly consistently; in the older pocket of Old Bexley village, closer to the river Cray, there’s a scatter of earlier Georgian and Victorian cottages mixed in among the interwar semis, where the same prep-first approach applies but the timber and render underneath tends to be older and needs a closer look before quoting. It’s also a fairly short run to Orpington or in towards Greenwich, both inside our usual coverage (see the areas nearby list below).
Because so much of the stock here is the same era and construction, jobs tend to be predictable in scope: a full house exterior on render and pebble-dash, timber windows stripped back where they haven’t already been replaced with uPVC, and an interior refresh that’s often the first repaint in a decade or more. Most relevant here: exterior painting for the render and woodwork typical of this area, and interior painting for full-room refreshes, most commonly quoted together rather than as separate visits.

“Akin painted our bedroom and living room. He did a great job he was very detailed and thorough and left the place extremely tidy. We're very satisfied with the work and will use him again. He was also very polite and friendly.”
“Incredibly happy and grateful with the service and quality of work received. David was very clear and communicative in advance, and the work speaks for itself. Thanks ever so much! Before/afters attached.”
“Professional, friendly and hardworking. I was so pleased with the work done. I highly recommend Daking Decorators.”
“Akinpelu was super good. Very friendly and professional, highly recommended.”
“We have used David's services a couple of times now - one to paint our hallway upstairs and down, and our ceilings. He is meticulous, neat and tidy, he also goes the extra effort to make sure surfaces are well prepared (something I would never bother myself) but it actually makes all the difference to the finish. It feels like he really takes care in what he does which is nice. Lastly he is just a lovely person to work with and also communicates quickly and clearly. My partner and I highly recommend and will be using his services again very soon!”
“Akin is an exceptional painter/decorator & I highly recommend him. He painted a newly plastered room/ceiling & 2 others rooms with poor existing paintwork. He goes above & beyond; rather than masking flaws, he meticulously sanded surfaces & repaired blown plaster. The final paint finish is excellent & absolutely flawless. He's a true perfectionist with a superb eye for detail. Akin worked tirelessly, kept the site spotless & hit our tight deadline. Highly skilled, reliable, punctual & a total pleasure to deal with. We won't hesitate to use him again. Akin has truly transformed our home!”
