Painter & Decorator · Lancashire
Beautiful painting, decorating and wallpapering by a friendly, fully insured local decorator — covering Preston, Leyland, Chorley & South Ribble.
What Della does
From a single feature wall to a whole house refresh — done properly, tidied up after, and always with a smile.
Interior & Exterior
Walls, ceilings, hallways, front doors and render — properly prepared, cleanly cut in and finished in the colour you fell in love with.
Walls, Ceilings & Woodwork
Skirting, architrave, doors, spindles and coving — the fiddly details that make a room look genuinely finished rather than just painted.
Hanging & Removal
Feature walls, full rooms, murals and delicate papers — patterns matched seam to seam, and old paper stripped without wrecking the plaster.
Home Repairs & Odd Jobs
The jobs on the list that never quite get done — shelves, flat-pack, curtain poles, fixings and small repairs, all sorted in one visit.
Public liability cover in place on every job, for complete peace of mind.
Turns up when she says she will, and is genuinely lovely to have in your home.
Dust sheets down, everything protected, and left cleaner than she found it.

Meet Della
Deco by Della is a small, local, hands-on business — which means the person who quotes your job is the person who turns up and does it. No subcontractors, no rotating crews, no surprises.
Della takes real pride in the details other people rush: the preparation, the filling, the crisp line where the wall meets the woodwork. It's the difference between a room that's been painted and a room that's been decorated.
And because plenty of customers prefer a woman working in their home, you'll always get someone friendly, respectful and completely trustworthy on the other side of the door.

Kind words
A few words from homes around Preston, Leyland and Chorley.
★★★★★Della painted our living room and hallway and we couldn't be happier with it. She turned up exactly when she said she would, everything was covered up properly, and the finish on the woodwork is spotless. She even hoovered round before she left.
Sarah, Leyland
★★★★★We'd been dreading the woodchip wallpaper in our hall for years. Della stripped the lot, made good the plaster underneath and painted it beautifully. Nothing was too much trouble and the final price was exactly what she quoted.
Mark, Penwortham
★★★★★Della papered the chimney breast in our bedroom and painted the rest of the room. The pattern matching is perfect — you genuinely can't spot a seam anywhere. Really tidy worker and so lovely to have in the house.
Joanne, Chorley
★★★★★Had a list of little jobs that had been sat there over a year — shelves putting up, a curtain pole, a door that wouldn't shut properly. Della sorted the lot in one morning and it's all spot on.
Ian, Bamber Bridge
★★★★★Our front door and window frames were looking really tired. Della rubbed everything down properly first rather than just painting over it, and the difference is unbelievable. Neighbours have already asked who did it.
Rachel, Preston
★★★★★We used Della for the whole downstairs after we moved in. She worked around us and the kids without any fuss, was always on time, and kept everything clean and tidy. Would recommend her to anyone.
Dave, Buckshaw Village
★★★★★Della decorated our bedroom including the ceiling, which had a big water stain from an old leak. You'd never know it was there. Lovely finish and a really fair price.
Lisa, Fulwood
★★★★★The stairs and landing had put off two other decorators because of the height. Della just got on with it, and the cutting in where the wall meets the ceiling is absolutely dead straight. Really pleased.
Tom, Euxton
