About Mark & the edge →The Decorators Edge isn't a firm of subcontracted painters. It's Mark — a decorator who takes on every job personally, from masking and preparation through to the final coat and the tidy-up. Clients across Alderley Edge, Wilmslow and the wider Cheshire villages call it the reason the finish is so consistent: the same careful hands, start to finish.
That care is also why the diary sits around ten months ahead. People wait — and recommend Mark to friends — because of a handful of things that come up in review after review: honest information on the products going on the walls, spotless preparation so there's no mess, and a room left cleaner than it was found. Residential redecoration or a commercial fit-out, the approach doesn't change.
