About us
We Take Pride in Every Finish
Wilson Decorating was started by Mark Wilson in 2009 after 12 years as a decorator for a large London contractor. He wanted to do things properly — not rush jobs through at volume, but build a local reputation on quality.
Today we're a small team of four, all employed directly — no subcontractors, no day labourers. Every job is managed personally, and we'll always pick up the phone. Most of our work comes through recommendations from existing customers, which tells us everything we need to know about whether we're getting it right.

What customers say
Trusted by London Homeowners
★★★★★"Mark and his team decorated our entire house — five rooms plus hallways — over two weeks. The preparation they did before painting was unlike anything I'd seen before; they filled every crack and sanded everything back. The result is genuinely flawless."
★★★★★"I've used Wilson Decorating twice now for our rental properties. Competitively priced, incredibly tidy workers, and the tenants always comment on how nice the finish is. Will definitely use again."
★★★★★"We had a tricky lounge — high ceilings, original coving, and a feature wall with a complex pattern. They matched it perfectly and the coving detail is beautiful. Couldn't be happier."
