Site Visit & Quote
No job gets priced over the phone. A look around in person is the only way to give an accurate figure. The written quote comes afterwards and covers everything talked through during the visit.
Camberley has grown a lot over the decades. There are established residential streets with solid post-war semis and detached houses that have been extended and updated by successive owners, newer estates on the edges of town, and some older properties in the quieter parts that still have original features worth preserving. It is a practical, working town and the people who live here tend to want the same from the tradespeople they bring in.
Blue Egg Décor has been doing this work for over 30 years. One person, the same standard throughout, no subcontracting. The quote is done in person, the work is carried out properly, and the place is left tidy. That is what 30 years of doing this looks like.
These aren’t just numbers – they represent thousands of hours of workmanship, preparation and care.
Camberley comes up regularly in the diary. Some jobs are straightforward single rooms, others are larger projects covering a full interior over several weeks. A fair amount of the work comes back around after a few years, the same household needing a different room done, or a recommendation passed on to someone nearby.
The properties here are mostly occupied during the work. People are at home, working, looking after children, living their normal lives while someone is in with brushes and rollers. That is just how it works, and it requires a sensible approach. Keeping the work area contained, not leaving tools spread across the house, making sure rooms are usable by the end of each day.
Camberley has a mix of surface conditions. Some of the older semis have walls that have been painted many times over, not always in the right order or with the right preparation. Newer properties are generally cleaner but still need surfaces checked properly before anything goes on them. Both get the same treatment.
Arrives when agreed. No vague start times or days that never materialise. If the schedule changes for any reason, you hear about it in advance.
No surprises on the quote. Everything discussed during the site visit goes into writing. If something unexpected comes up during the job, it gets flagged and talked through before anything changes.
Preparation is not skipped. Filling, sanding, priming. It takes longer than just rolling paint straight onto the wall, but it is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that does not.
Tidy throughout. Dust sheets down before starting, tools put away at the end of each day, rooms left in a state that people can actually use.
Consistent from first day to last. The quality of the work does not change depending on how far through the job you are. Every coat gets applied the same way.
All services listed below reflect the work we actively carry out in Camberley and the surrounding area.
Rooms, ceilings, hallways and open-plan spaces. The number of coats, prep required and finish get agreed at the site visit. No assumptions made until the job has been properly looked at.
Skirting boards, door frames, interior doors, window surrounds and stair handrails. Done properly it lifts the whole room. Getting a clean finish on painted woodwork takes more time than most expect.
Many Camberley properties have been decorated without proper prep underneath. Cracks filled with the wrong product, filler that has moved. It all needs sorting before paint goes on. That is what everything else depends on.
Most jobs are domestic. Occasionally a commercial property comes up in the Camberley area. The approach does not change. Agree the scope, prepare the surfaces, finish to a consistent standard.
Clear from the start. The same on every job.
No job gets priced over the phone. A look around in person is the only way to give an accurate figure. The written quote comes afterwards and covers everything talked through during the visit.
Furniture moved and covered, floors protected, surfaces filled, sanded and primed where needed. This stage does not get rushed to save time on the next one.
Work carried out in the right sequence. Each coat gets the time it needs to dry before the next goes on. The job does not get hurried along to clear the diary.
Once the work is finished, everything gets looked over before packing up. Furniture goes back, any waste is removed and the space is left clean and usable.

Camberley sits in the part of Surrey that has grown steadily since the post-war years, which means a lot of the housing stock dates from the 1950s through to the 1980s, solid brick-built semis and detached houses that have had various degrees of updating over time. Some are in excellent condition. Others have had work done to them piecemeal over the years without much consistency. Either way, the starting point is a proper look at what is actually there.
There are also newer developments in and around Camberley, particularly toward Frimley and Farnborough, where the properties are more recent and the surfaces generally more straightforward. The brief on those jobs tends to be clean and contemporary, which is a different kind of attention to get right.
Parking and access in most of Camberley is practical. The residential streets are generally easy enough and the site visit always includes a check on access and logistics before the first day.
Alongside Camberley itself, Blue Egg Décor covers decorating work in Frimley, Farnborough, Bagshot, Lightwater and Sandhurst. Work across that patch comes in together regularly, and a number of customers across that area have used the same decorator across more than one property over the years.

Things that come up before most jobs get booked.
The price depends on the size of the job, the condition of the surfaces and how much preparation is needed. A single room can be a few hundred pounds once materials are included. Larger projects are costed after a site visit. The quote is written and comes with no obligation.
A single room in decent condition is typically two to three days. A fuller project covering several rooms or a complete interior can take a few weeks. The written quote always includes a realistic time estimate based on what was seen during the visit.
Filling, sanding, priming and masking. All of that is part of the job. It is not treated as an optional extra or charged separately. On older properties this stage can take up a significant portion of the overall time, and the quote reflects that from the start.
