Local painter & decorator
M&H Decorating is a local painting and decorating company run by Richie Emmett, who has more than seven years’ experience in the trade. From our base in Mexborough, Richie and Leon decorate homes and business premises right across Sheffield and South Yorkshire: living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, full house exteriors, commercial units and everything in between.
What customers notice first is the care. Furniture is moved and covered, dust sheets go down, and surfaces are filled, sanded and primed before any paint goes on. Cutting-in is crisp, woodwork is smooth, and your home is left clean at the end of every day, which is why customers keep inviting us back for the next room.
Whether you need a house painter for one room, an interior decorator for a full refresh or an exterior painter to smarten up your property, you’ll get a clear quote, honest advice on colours and finishes, and regular updates from start to finish.

Glen couldn’t fault the team at any stage, from the first phone call to hoovering up at the end — and the boxes went back up without a single mark on the fresh paintwork.
Praised an exceptional finish: crisp cutting-in along ceilings and skirting boards, no brush marks, and woodwork that was properly sanded and primed before painting.
Found Richie and Leon professional, friendly and punctual, with great communication before and during the work. Everything was checked before they left, the clean-up was thorough, and a few small extra jobs were done at no charge.
Richie turned a little boy’s bedroom into a teenager’s room and kept the customer in the loop throughout. More rooms are lined up once the colours are chosen.
Booked us for a third time, to paint an outbuilding. Richie and Leon arrived on time, worked hard and got the job done without any fuss, and another quote has already been requested.
Wallpaper stripped, walls filled, doors and skirting glossed, and walls and ceilings painted across five rooms. The team snagged their own work, kept things tidy every day, finished on programme and has been booked again for upstairs and the exterior.

The cost depends on the size and number of rooms, the condition of the walls and woodwork, how much filling, sanding or wallpaper stripping is needed, ceiling heights and stairwells, the paints or papers you choose and, for exterior work, access and any surface repairs. We’ll give you a free, detailed quote with no obligation, so you know exactly what’s included before any work starts.

It depends on the size of the room, how much preparation the walls and woodwork need, and how many coats a colour change requires. We’ll give you a realistic timescale when we quote and keep you updated as the work progresses. Customers regularly tell us we finish on schedule, and sometimes earlier than expected.
