About John
Prep-Obsessed. Detail-Driven. Proudly Local.
I’m John Eaton, a painter & decorator based in Hawkinge, serving homes across East Kent. With over 15 years’ experience and a real passion for the trade, I focus on delivering the kind of quality finish that only comes from proper preparation, tidy working and top attention to detail.
Whether it’s a fresh coat in your lounge, a full room makeover, woodwork restoration, or tackling those awkward nooks and staircases—my goal is simple:
make your home look its absolute best while keeping the process stress-free.
I’m friendly, reliable, and always happy to talk through what you need. Most of my work comes from recommendations and returning customers—something I’m genuinely proud of.
