Housing associations today face a growing number of challenges that make property maintenance and refurbishment increasingly complicated.
From overwhelming workloads to regulatory pressures, housing officers are balancing multiple responsibilities while ensuring safe, compliant, and high-quality housing for tenants.
At Diamond Decorators, we understand these challenges and provide expert decorating solutions designed to ease operational burdens, improve tenant satisfaction, and maintain high standards across housing portfolios. With decades of experience in social housing, Diamond Decorators provides expert, sustainable decorating services that prioritise quality, reliability, and respectful engagement with residents – helping you maintain and improve your properties efficiently and professionally.
Our commitment to social values
At Diamond Decorators, we believe in making a difference beyond our core services. We are proud supporters of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter, ensuring fair pay and inclusive employment opportunities. Our dedication to hiring locally and supporting individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds allows us to provide stable employment while upskilling workers through NVQ Level 2 training programs and apprenticeships.
Additionally, we actively engage with local communities and schools, delivering career talks, attending job fairs, and supporting apprenticeship pathways to encourage young people into the decorating trade. Indeed, our director Kerry is presenting to students at Tameside College on 12th February as part of National Apprenticeship Week, all about the benefits of taking the apprenticeship route.
Our contributions also extend to volunteer and charitable initiatives, such as providing free decorating services for vulnerable tenants and donating surplus paint to charities, schools, and care homes.
Our sustainability efforts align with housing associations’ environmental commitments. We operate a zero-landfill policy, ensuring all materials, including paint tins and containers, are responsibly recycled. By partnering with local suppliers and reducing transport emissions, we help housing associations achieve their sustainability goals.

Case study – transforming homes for Rochdale Boroughwide Housing
A recent project with Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) demonstrates our expertise in action.
RBH engaged Diamond Decorators to carry out urgent interior refurbishments in several of their social housing schemes. The properties had been compromised by mould growth, damp, and general wear and tear, necessitating a comprehensive restoration and redecoration program.
Working in close partnership with RBH’s repairs team, Diamond Decorators implemented a systematic approach to remediate the issues and revitalise the homes:
- Mould eradication: Thorough cleaning, treatment, and application of anti-mould coatings
- Painting and decorating: Stripping old finishes and redecorating to create fresh, welcoming interiors
- Sealant works: Installing new sealants around baths, sinks, and worktops to prevent moisture ingress
- Miscellaneous works: Restoring a fire-damaged property within the RBH portfolio
By delivering a swift, integrated solution, Diamond Decorators helped RBH honour their commitment to providing quality homes for their tenants. The refurbished properties now offer healthier, more comfortable living spaces that residents can take pride in.
