Interior & Exterior
Professional decorators serving Oxfordshire.
A finish that lasts,
from a decorator who cares about the detail.
The difference between a good decorating job and a great one is in the preparation you never see — the filling, sanding, caulking and priming that happen before a brush of colour goes on. At Crawford Construction, we treat every room and every elevation that way, delivering a flawless, hard-wearing finish for homes and businesses across Oxfordshire.
From repainting a single living room to redecorating a period townhouse or an entire commercial premises, we bring the same care: clean dust-sheeting, tidy working, trade-quality paints, and respect for your home or workplace throughout. Free, no-obligation quotes and a finish we stand behind.

Interior decoration, room by room
Every space in your home has different demands. Here's how we approach each one.
Living rooms
The room you relax and entertain in deserves a calm, considered finish. We prepare and paint walls and ceilings, cut in crisp lines around cornicing and skirting, and bring out feature walls, chimney breasts and alcoves.
Bedrooms
Restful, low-sheen finishes, perfectly even coverage, and tidy detailing around built-in wardrobes and fitted furniture — completed with minimal disruption to the rest of your home.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms need paint that copes with moisture. We use specialist mould-resistant and moisture-resistant finishes, properly prepared, so the result stays fresh rather than peeling or blistering.
Dining rooms
Rich, characterful colours and elegant detailing — whether that's a deep feature wall, panelling picked out in eggshell, or a warm neutral that flatters the table.
Kitchens, hallways & stairwells
Hard-wearing, washable finishes for the busiest spaces in the house, plus the access equipment and experience to decorate high stairwells and landings safely.
Home offices & studies
A clean, focused space to work in, finished around shelving and cabling with no fuss.
We also hang wallpaper and wall coverings, apply specialist and decorative finishes, and carry out plastering and making-good so surfaces are sound before they're painted.
Exterior decoration
A well-maintained exterior protects your property and lifts its kerb appeal. We carry out:
All exterior work is prepared properly — scraping, sanding, treating bare or rotten timber and priming — so the finish withstands British weather rather than flaking off in a season.
Commercial decorators
We work with offices, retail units, restaurants, hospitality venues, schools, surgeries and landlords across Oxfordshire. We understand commercial priorities: minimal disruption, out-of-hours and weekend working where needed, quick turnarounds between tenancies, durable trade finishes, and the relevant insurance and certification to work on commercial sites.
Whether it's a single office refresh or a full premises fit-out decoration, we deliver on schedule.
Commercial Capabilities
Specialist & heritage finishes
Oxfordshire is full of period and listed properties that need a sensitive, knowledgeable hand. We work with breathable, lime-based and traditional paints suited to older walls, restore and repaint ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and panelling, and apply premium decorative finishes such as Venetian plaster, microcement and limewash where a project calls for something special.
Paints and finishes we work with
We specify the right product for each surface and budget, working confidently with premium and trade ranges — across emulsion, eggshell, satinwood and gloss systems, with the correct primers and undercoats for a lasting result.
How we work
From the first conversation to the final walkthrough — a clear, considerate process.
Free consultation & quote
We visit, discuss colours and finishes, and provide a clear, itemised quote.

Furniture protected, surfaces filled, sanded, caulked and primed (the part that makes the finish last).

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our interior and exterior decorating services.
It depends on the size of the room, the condition of the walls, how much preparation and filling is needed, the number of coats, and whether ceilings, woodwork and wallpapering are included. We provide a free, itemised quote after seeing the space, so you know exactly what's covered.
A single average-sized room is typically one to three days including preparation and drying time; larger projects and exterior work depend on scope and weather. We give you a clear schedule before we start.
No — we move and cover furniture for you and protect floors with dust sheets. We only ask that you remove small valuables and personal items.
Far less than people expect. Careful masking, dust-sheeting and tidy working keep disruption to a minimum, and we clean up at the end of every day, not just the end of the job.
Trade-quality products matched to each surface — we work with ranges such as Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Dulux Trade and Crown Trade. We're happy to advise on colours and finishes, or work to a scheme you've already chosen.
Yes. Older walls often need breathable, lime-based paints and a careful approach around original features like cornicing and sash windows. We have the experience to decorate period and listed homes sympathetically.
Exterior work depends on dry conditions and temperature, so we plan it around the weather. We're happy to book it for the right window and advise on timing.
For commercial projects, yes — we offer out-of-hours and weekend working to keep your premises running with minimal disruption.
