Site Visit & Quote
A proper look around is the starting point. It takes longer than a phone call but it means the quote is accurate and covers what actually needs doing. Everything discussed goes into writing.
Windsor has a distinctive mix of housing. There are terraced streets close to the town centre that have been lived in for generations, larger Victorian and Edwardian houses in the quieter roads, and plenty of newer builds on the outskirts. Some of the older properties near the castle and the Long Walk have original features that take a bit more care. Others are straightforward. Both types get the same level of attention.
Blue Egg Décor has been doing this work for over 30 years. One person, one consistent standard. The person who looks at the job is the person who does it. That matters more than most people realise until they have had the alternative.
These aren’t just numbers – they represent thousands of hours of workmanship, preparation and care.
Windsor comes up regularly. A job here, a recommendation to a neighbour, another booking a year or two later when the kitchen needs doing. That is how most of the work in this area builds up over time. Not through advertising, just through people passing on a name when it has done right by them.
Most jobs are in occupied homes. Windsor has a lot of families, a lot of people working from home, properties that are genuinely lived in rather than sitting empty. That shapes how the work gets done. You keep things contained, you put rooms back at the end of the day, you do not make someone’s house feel like a site.
There is quite a range of property types here. Some of the Victorian terraces have had a lot of work done to them over the years, not always well. The surfaces can be uneven, old plaster, filler that has dropped or cracked, layers of paint that were never keyed properly. That all gets sorted before anything else. Newer builds are generally cleaner to work on but the expected finish is no lower.
No One person throughout. Not a different face each day. The same person from the site visit to the final tidy-up. What gets agreed is what gets done.
Written quotes that cover everything discussed. .No verbal estimates that expand later. The quote is clear and any changes get talked through before they happen.
Surfaces prepared before painting. Filling, sanding, priming. It adds time but it is what separates a finish that holds up from one that starts peeling at the edges within a year.
The house is left in order each day. Dust sheets, protected floors, tools put away. Living around a decorating job is disruptive enough without the workspace being left in a state.
No drop in standard toward the end. The last coat on the last wall gets the same care as the first. Jobs do not get rushed to free up the next one.
All services listed below reflect the work we actively carry out in Windsor and the surrounding area.
Rooms, hallways, ceilings and stairwells. Windsor's older properties often have high ceilings and period proportions that need more planning. Prep and finish agreed before anything starts.
Windsor's older housing often has original joinery painted over many times. Getting back to a clean, sharp finish takes patience and the right preparation. The difference is obvious when done properly.
Older plaster, mismatched filler, surfaces painted without proper prep. This is where a lot of Windsor decorating jobs succeed or fall short. It all gets addressed before paint goes on.
Most work is in private homes. Small commercial jobs come up in the Windsor area occasionally. The approach is the same regardless of the type of property.
The same process on every job. No surprises.
A proper look around is the starting point. It takes longer than a phone call but it means the quote is accurate and covers what actually needs doing. Everything discussed goes into writing.
Furniture moved, floors covered, surfaces filled and sanded before any paint goes near them. The preparation stage is not optional and it is not rushed.
Done in the right order. Coats applied with proper drying time between them. No shortcuts taken to finish a day early.
The finished job gets looked over before packing up. Rooms put back, any waste removed, everything left as it should be.

Windsor is a busy place to work. The roads near the town centre can be tight for parking, especially on the terraced streets, and that is always worth checking before the first day. It gets sorted on the site visit so there are no problems when work starts.
The housing in Windsor covers a wide range. The streets closest to the castle have some of the oldest and most characterful properties in the area, Victorian and earlier, with original cornices, dado rails and joinery that needs careful handling. Further out, the housing is a more standard mix of semis, detached houses and newer estates where the brief is usually clean and neutral.
Expectations vary by property but they are generally high. Windsor is not a place where people are indifferent to the finish. Most homeowners here have a clear idea of what they want and they notice when it is not delivered. That is fine when the work is done properly.
As well as Windsor, Blue Egg Décor covers decorating work in nearby Ascot, Old Windsor, Datchet, Eton and Slough. Work in those areas tends to come in alongside Windsor bookings and the client base overlaps quite naturally across that stretch of the Thames Valley.

Things that tend to come up before most jobs get started.
It depends entirely on the job. The size, the condition of the surfaces and the amount of preparation required all affect the price. A single room might be a few hundred pounds. A full interior across a larger house will be more. The quote comes after a site visit, is written down, and carries no obligation.
A single room in reasonable condition is usually two to three days. Larger projects, particularly in older Windsor properties where preparation takes longer, can run to several weeks. A realistic time estimate is always part of the written quote.
Yes. Filling, sanding, priming and masking are all part of the job and are not charged as extras. On older properties in particular this stage takes significant time, and the quote reflects that honestly from the start.
Yes, most of the time. Occupied homes are the norm. It means being sensible about how the work is managed day to day, keeping noise and disruption to a minimum and making sure the house is liveable at the end of each working day.
Occasionally. Small offices, retail spaces and similar commercial properties come up in the Windsor area from time to time. Worth a call if you have something specific in mind.
As well as Windsor itself, work is taken on in Ascot, Old Windsor, Datchet, Eton, Slough and Virginia Water. If you are just outside that area it is still worth getting in touch depending on the size of the job.
No. Furniture is moved and protected as part of the job. Floors are covered before work begins. You do not need to clear rooms in advance.
