PK Decorating is a small, family-run team based just down the road in Wimbledon, and Balham has been part of our patch for well over a decade. Much of our SW12 work comes from the same families asking us back, and from their neighbours' recommendations. We decorate single rooms, whole houses, and everything in between — and because we also do carpentry, alcove cabinets and flooring, one team can carry a project from bare plaster to finished room.
What we do in Balham
Why Balham homeowners choose us

Balham homes we know well
The Victorian terraces in the grid of streets between Balham High Road and Wandsworth Common still have their picture rails, dado rails, panelled staircases and cast-iron fireplaces, and decorating them well is mostly preparation: filling, sanding and sealing before any colour goes near a wall.
The Edwardian houses of the Hyde Farm Estate towards Tooting Bec Common have generous hallways and original joinery that reward a careful hand.
And the mansion blocks and conversions around Balham Hill and Clapham South are usually faster, tidier jobs — fresh walls, crisp white woodwork, done around your working week.
A Balham house we've looked after for years
One family in a Victorian terrace off Balham High Road has been asking us back since 2017. Over the years we've decorated the children's bedrooms and the master bedroom, matched Farrow & Ball colours onto trade bases to keep costs sensible, and painted wardrobes, fireplaces and picture rails along the way. This summer we returned for the biggest job yet: a full interior refresh across all three floors — the loft bedrooms and bathroom, the hallway, landing and staircase with its dado rails and under-stairs panelling, the kitchen/diner, and the kitchen units hand-painted. When the same house calls you back for nine years, you're doing something right.
