General questions
- What areas do you cover?
- We mainly work across Worksop, Chesterfield, Nottingham and Rotherham, but we also cover many nearby towns and villages. If you are within reasonable travelling distance of these areas, get in touch and we will confirm whether we can visit you.
- Are your painters and decorators experienced?
- Yes. N J Broxholme Painting & Decorating has been established since 2010 and has built up over 500 positive reviews on MyBuilder from domestic, commercial and industrial customers.
- Why should I use a professional painting and decorating contractor?
- A professional decorator can save you time, achieve a more durable finish and advise on suitable products and colours. We handle preparation, materials and clean‑up, so you get a high‑quality result with less hassle.
- How should I prepare my home or business before you arrive?
- We ask that you move smaller items and valuables away from the working area where possible. Larger furniture can often be moved or covered on the day. We will protect floors and surfaces before we start work.
Domestic painting & decorating FAQs
- Do I need to move all my furniture before domestic decorating?
- It helps if you move smaller items and clear wall surfaces where you can. We can assist with moving larger furniture and will cover and protect floors, furnishings and fixtures before we start decorating.
- How long does floor paint take to dry?
- Drying times vary by product and ventilation, but most domestic floor paints are touch‑dry within a few hours and ready for light use within around 24 hours. We will advise you on specific timings for your project.
- How long will exterior window and door paint last?
- With the right preparation and products, exterior paints can usually last several years before needing a refresh. Exposure to weather and sunlight affects this, so we will specify suitable coatings for your property.
- What are decorating paint effects?
- Decorating paint effects are techniques such as feature walls, textured finishes or faux finishes that add interest beyond a flat colour. We can discuss options that suit your home and style.

- What types of commercial premises do you decorate?
- We decorate offices, retail units, restaurants, schools, healthcare settings and other commercial and public buildings, as well as industrial units and warehouses.
- Do you offer specialist coatings for industrial environments?
- Yes. For industrial sites we can specify protective and anti‑corrosion coatings for metal and steel, as well as durable floor paints for high‑traffic areas.
- Can you handle large‑scale industrial painting projects?
- We have experience managing larger industrial painting projects for factories and warehouses. We will carry out site surveys, plan work in phases and coordinate with your operations and other trades.
PVC & kitchen spraying FAQs
- How long does kitchen cabinet spraying take?
- The exact timescale depends on the size and layout of your kitchen, but most spraying projects are completed within one to two days of on‑site work, plus drying time.
- What kind of paint do you use for kitchen cabinets?
- We use high‑quality, durable coatings designed specifically for kitchens. They are formulated to cope with everyday use, including heat, grease and moisture.
- Can you spray different types of window frames?
- Yes, we can spray suitable wooden, metal and uPVC window frames. We prepare and prime the surfaces so the finish adheres well and lasts.

- We handle cleaning, sanding and priming of the surfaces to be sprayed. You just need to clear worktops and remove fragile items so we can work safely.
- Are your spraying services insured?
