About us

Two decorators.
One high standard.

J&F Decor is a small, trusted team run by Shane and Dan, with a simple belief: do the prep properly, treat the home with respect and never leave until the finish is right.

The team

Meet Shane & Dan

Two decorators, one standard. Every J&F job is done by us, not passed to a crew you have never met. Here is a little about the two of us.

Decorator · Dan

I have been a decorator for over 20 years, starting out on high end work in exclusive estates like Wentworth. That took me to Dulux, where I met Shane. We hit it off and began taking on our own jobs alongside product testing paints, shooting ads and designing office spaces. Between us we completed every City and Guilds course the Dulux Academy runs, from interior design to colour science and spraying. Eventually we went full time on J&F and never looked back, and today we work with Trade Mastermind to keep raising the bar for every customer.

Decorator · Shane

I started my painting and decorating apprenticeship at 16, working at Dulux, and at 28 I still love every single day of the trade. My focus now is on how we deliver a premium, high end service to every customer, from the first phone call right through to the final coat. It is exactly why we are investing so much of our time into Trade Mastermind, to nail that genuine five star experience. For me it has never just been about the paint and the finish, it is about how it feels to have us in your home.

Our story

Built on repeat
customers

Between them, Shane and Dan bring more than 40 years of hands on painting and decorating. What started as word of mouth around Windsor has grown into a business built almost entirely on recommendations and returning customers.

There is no call centre and no chain of subcontractors. When you book J&F, it is Shane and Dan who turn up, quote the job, do the work and stand behind it. That is why so many homeowners across Berkshire and Surrey keep coming back and passing our number on.

What we stand for

The J&F difference

Prep, then paint

The finish that lasts is made before the first coat. We fill, sand, prime and protect every time.

Your home, respected

Floors sheeted, furniture covered, dust kept down and everything cleaned up at the end of each day.

Straight talking quotes

A clear, fixed price after a free visit. What we quote is what you pay, materials included.

Backed for a year

Every job carries a full 1 year workmanship guarantee. If it is not right, we put it right.

Done in days

Clear timings agreed up front, and most jobs wrapped in days rather than dragging on for weeks.

Homeowners on Shane & Dan

★★★★★

“I have recently used J&F to have the entire property painted. From the initial contact through to completion these guys were spot on. All the walls, ceilings, doors and trims were thoroughly prepped. The guys did a fabulous job and had it finished in good time. They know their products very well, but more importantly they know exactly where and how to use them.”

“Well what can I say. I would highly recommend them for any job, big or small. Absolutely amazing. Dan and Shane are very hard working and have been an absolute delight. They have made my house a home and I cannot thank them enough. They have recently completed my living room, dining room, hallway, stairs and landing, and just finished my kitchen. Thank you both for all your hard work!”

“The guys were recommended to me through a friend. They painted the kitchen, front room, hallway and landing, all to a very high standard. Left the place spotlessly clean. Made good plaster work that looks spot on. Highly recommend them!”
