A look around in person is the only sensible way to price a job. The quote comes afterwards in writing, covering everything that was discussed. No surprises later.
Ascot is a mix of serious money and quietly understated homes. You get the large gated properties off the main roads, plenty of Victorian and Edwardian semis that have been extended and improved over the years, and newer builds on the edges of the village. Whatever the property, the owners tend to have clear expectations about the standard of work they want.
Blue Egg Décor has been working in this area for over 30 years. It is a one-man operation, which means the person who quotes the job is the same person who does it. No subcontractors, no variation in standard. Just consistent, careful work carried out properly.
These aren’t just numbers – they represent thousands of hours of workmanship, preparation and care.
Ascot comes up regularly. Some jobs are one-off rooms, others are larger projects that run across several weeks. A fair number of customers come back after a few years when it is time to refresh a hallway or repaint the outside before a sale. That kind of repeat work is the backbone of how things run here.
Working in Ascot means working in occupied homes most of the time. People are going about their day while the job is on. That is just how it is, and it requires a bit of common sense. Keeping the workspace contained, not leaving tools out, making sure rooms are usable at the end of each day. It is not complicated, but it matters.
The properties vary quite a bit. Some of the older houses have original cornicing and joinery that needs care. The newer builds are often more straightforward but no less demanding in terms of finish. Both get the same approach.
The same person turns up every day. There is no team of different faces each morning. You know who is in your home and the standard stays consistent throughout.
Honest quotes in writing. What gets discussed on the site visit is what goes into the quote. No additions after the fact without a conversation first.
Preparation is taken seriously. Filling, sanding, priming. These are not optional extras. They are what makes the finish look right and last.
The home is treated with care. Dust sheets down, furniture protected, everything put back before leaving. The house should not look worse at the end of the day than it did in the morning.
The standard does not drop toward the end of a job. The last wall gets the same attention as the first.
All services listed below reflect the work we actively carry out in Ascot and the surrounding area.
Full rooms, single walls, ceilings and hallways. Prep and coats agreed before anything starts. Ascot homes are well maintained but the preparation still gets done properly regardless.
The details that either sharpen a room or let it down. Getting an even finish on wood takes more time than most expect, especially where previous paint has built up on older properties.
Older Ascot properties have often had work done to varying standards. Cracked plaster, proud filler, surfaces painted over without prep. Sorting that out first is what makes the finish hold up.
Most work in Ascot is domestic. Small commercial jobs come up occasionally. The approach is the same either way: agree the work, prepare the surfaces, carry it out to a consistent standard.
A straightforward process, the same on every job.

Furniture moved and covered, floors protected, surfaces filled and sanded before any paint goes on. This part of the job does not get skipped.
Carried out in the right sequence, with proper drying time between coats. No rushing to finish a day ahead of schedule at the expense of the result.
The finished work gets looked over before packing up. Rooms put back, waste taken away, the place left as it should be.

Ascot tends to involve a mix of larger properties and houses that have been updated over time. Some jobs are single rooms that need bringing back into shape after a few years. Others are full interiors where different parts of the house have been done at different times and now need pulling together properly.
Most decorating services in Ascot are carried out while people are still living in the property. That means working in a way that keeps things under control. Rooms are tackled in stages, furniture is moved and protected as needed, and everything is kept tidy so the house can still be used day to day.
A lot of the work comes through previous jobs in the area. One room leads to another, or one house leads to the next through recommendation. That tends to build steadily rather than all at once.

A few things that come up before most bookings are made.
It depends on the size of the job and the condition of the surfaces. A single room might be a few hundred pounds once preparation and materials are included. Larger projects are priced properly after a site visit. The quote is written and there is no obligation.
A single room in decent condition is typically two to three days. A larger project covering multiple rooms or a full interior can be anywhere from one to four weeks depending on what is involved. A realistic time estimate is always included in the quote.
Filling cracks and holes, sanding back, priming where needed, masking off areas that should not get paint on them. All of that is included as standard. It is not charged separately.
Yes. Most jobs in Ascot are in homes where people are living. It means being practical about noise, access and tidiness. The house should be liveable at the end of each working day.
From time to time. Small offices and commercial spaces come up occasionally in this area. If you have something in mind it is worth a conversation.
