About Aina
I was Born in Port de Sóller, Mallorca where I was first introduced into the world of shipwright, painting and restoration in the Marine Industry, a branch of the family business.
It has been a privilege over the years to have been surrounded by the Master Artisans of this highly regarded craft. Without a doubt my passion, dedication, attention to detail & pride for a job well done comes from the values and high level of skill I observed and learned from these craftsmen.
I have 18 years’ experience as a painter and decorator working in London and surrounding areas. During this time I have successfully completed a wide range of projects, often working alongside an array of complementary professionals, specialist painters, plasterers, designers etc.
I am passionate about what I do and take great pride in my work. Don’t hesitate to contact me for a quote, advice or an informal chat.

Interiors
It is said that our homes & business premises are an extension of ourselves – even down to an energy level. Forever evolving, growing, changing styles much like us…. Through us and for us as their guardians.
Building spaces are really adaptable and flexible, and it is very important to maintain them and protect them as much as possible not only to honour the work but to ensure that they are here for many more years to come so they can also be admired and enjoyed by our future generations.
Exteriors
Often less is more, especially when it comes to period properties, unless, due to neglect or the inevitable passing of time, more specialist finishes and surface treatments are required. In those cases modern technology is able to offer us just that, a great selection of specialist finishes to help protect the integrity of the buildings from the elements, as well as improving the value of your home!
Limewash
The benefits of Lime have been known and applied extensively both in the farming and building industries for thousand of years for its alkaline nature, antibacterial, and breathability properties.
Lime in the building trade is still widely used as one of the components of mortar, in conservation work and as Wash to protect mainly the exterior of properties …… But, did you know that with the correct treatment of surfaces Limewash can also be used for the cosmetic treatment of interior walls very much like paint would with the added benefit of being a completely organic and ecological finish ?
One of the most exciting things I find when using limewash in this way, is that there is always an element of unpredictability in the final result due to the organic nature of the lime and perhaps the colours used, ranging from the very subtle, mottled finish to a rich velvety appearance with lots of movement….. Either way the end result I find is always beautiful, vibrant, timeless and sophisticated.
