Painting & Decorating


Painting & decorating in New Plymouth & Taranaki — interiors, exteriors & tidy make-good
Fresh paint changes everything. TCM Ltd delivers neat, durable interior and exterior painting with thorough preparation, clean cut lines, and tidy job sites — so your spaces feel brighter, fresher, and ready to live in.
We repair minor gib damage, fill and sand surfaces to a consistent profile, and mask thoroughly before applying the correct primers and topcoats for each substrate. Our team sequences rooms to minimise disruption and keeps you informed at every step.
From single rooms to whole-home refreshes and light commercial projects, we work to an agreed programme, maintain clean work areas, and leave a crisp, long-lasting finish.
