In this episode of The Decorators’ Den, we’re joined by Nathan from NR Decorators.

Nathan takes us through his journey in the decorating trade, from where it all started to where he is today, sharing the experiences, lessons and challenges along the way.

We also dive into the history of decorating, looking at how the trade has changed over the years, the materials and techniques that have shaped it, and whether some of the old-school ways still have a place in modern decorating.

We also have an honest conversation about mental health in the decorating and wider trades, the pressures that come with working for yourself, and the importance of being able to talk about things when they aren't going right.

As always, expect plenty of trade chat, stories, laughs and a few opinions along the way.

Could The Decorators’ Den be heading across the Irish Sea? 🇮🇪🚐

This week Baz and Sean are joined by Gerry from Paintworks NI for a proper decorators’ chat covering everything from the possibility of a Paint It Forward road trip to Ireland, to the realities of pricing decorating work, professional spraying and, naturally, beers 🍻.

We get into how Gerry approaches spraying, pricing jobs in Northern Ireland, the differences between the UK and Irish decorating scene, and whether Baz and Sean really have the bottle to take The Den on the road.

Plus, plenty of laughs, trade talk and the usual unfiltered Decorators’ Den banter.
