Local painter & decorator

Sheffield painters and decorators who treat your home like their own

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.

  • Walls, ceilings, woodwork and wallpapering

10/10Mar 2026

Faultless 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.

Glen B. · S6, Sheffield

10/10Jan 2026

Downstairs and kitchen units repainted

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.

Verified customer · S64, Mexborough

10/10Jan 2026

Kitchen, games room, hall and landing

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.

Beverley F. · DN10

10/10Apr 2024

A bedroom that grew up

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.

Verified customer · S9, Sheffield

Third job and counting

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.

Verified customer · S65, Rotherham

10/10Dec 2025

Whole downstairs redecorated

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.

How much does painting and decorating cost in Sheffield?

Every job is priced individually, so we don’t publish a fixed price list. 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.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes. Quotes are always free and there’s no obligation to go ahead. Call 07359 835804 or request a callback and we’ll arrange a time to look at the job, talk through colours and finishes, and send you a clear, detailed quote. We’re open seven days a week, 8am to 6pm.

Which areas of Sheffield do you cover?

We cover the whole of Sheffield, including Hillsborough, Walkley, Crookes, Broomhill, Ecclesall, Nether Edge, Woodseats, Dore, Gleadless, Handsworth, Darnall, Mosborough, Beighton, Firth Park, Chapeltown and Stocksbridge. We also work across Rotherham and the Dearne Valley from our base in Mexborough. See the full list on our areas we cover page.

Are you interior or exterior painters and decorators?

Both. Inside, we paint walls, ceilings, woodwork, doors, staircases and kitchen units, and hang wallpaper. Outside, we paint masonry and render, sills and lintels, wooden windows, doors, garden walls and outbuildings.

Do you take on commercial painting as well as homes?

Yes. Alongside residential painting, we decorate shops, offices and commercial units, with anti-vandal coatings and spray finishes where they suit the job. We’re open seven days a week, which helps us plan work around your business.

Will you move furniture and protect my home?

Yes. We move and cover furniture, lay dust sheets and protect floors before we start. We tidy up at the end of every day, and when the job is finished we clean up thoroughly and put things back where they belong — something customers often mention in their reviews.

How long does it take to decorate a room?

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.

Do you do wallpapering and wallpaper removal?

Yes. We strip old wallpaper, repair and prepare the walls, and hang new paper — from a single feature wall to full rooms, stairwells and downstairs toilets — matching patterns carefully for a seamless finish.

How do I find a reliable painter and decorator near me in Sheffield?

Look for a local decorator with genuine, recent reviews you can check for yourself. M&H Decorating has been a Checkatrade member since March 2024 and is rated 9.97/10 from 34 reviews, with 10/10 scores for reliability and communication over the past 12 months. You can read every review on Checkatrade.

Yes — pensioners get 10% off. Just mention it when you ask for your quote.
