    I have used DY Decorating before and was so pleased I see him as my preferred decorating company. This time it was external works and everything was done on time and on budget in a clean and professional manner - what more can you ask for?

    Fabulous, flawless and efficient!

    Darren did an incredible job creating feature wall in a bedroom and kitchen for me. He was on time, tidy, helpful (helped move furniture an dc moved it back), he explained what he was going to do and why, tidied his equipment away at the end of each evening. His quote was competitive, the work was flawless! I’ve asked him to quote for two more jobs!

    Room painting

    Darren is first class. He is a real gentleman who is hard working and reliable. He has painted the stairs, landing and two bedrooms now on separate occasions to an excellent standard. The ceilings are particularly high but he completed all rooms without any scaffolding. I highly recommend him.

    Decorating living room, bedroom, and bathroom

    Darren is an excellent decorator. He has an eye for a good colour scheme. Very thorough in preparation execution and finishing. Start was delayed, but work was completed in less than the agreed length of work. In the lead up to the job, communications about the delay could have been a bit better, but that did not detract from the job overall.

    Redecorating bedroom

    Darren does a brilliant job. He is conscientious and has good attention to detail. He is communicative, with a good sense of humour (always helps in life). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for decorating projects.

Welcome to DY Decorating – Professional Decorating with a Personal Touch.


Hello, I’m Darren Yeung, the proud owner of DY Decorating. Based in Kent, I offer high-quality painting and decorating services with a focus on reliability, attention to detail, and exceptional customer care. I work independently, which means when you book DY Decorating, you’ll be dealing directly with me from start to finish – no subcontractors, no confusion, just clear communication and consistently high standards.


With over 15 years of experience in the trade, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects – from refreshing family homes to complete room makeovers and exterior renovations. I specialize in:


  • Interior painting and decorating
  • Wallpaper hanging and removal
  • Exterior painting
  • Surface preparation and woodwork finishing
  • Feature walls and bespoke finishes


Every home is different, so I take the time to listen to your needs and offer expert advice to help you achieve the look and feel you’re after. I’m always happy to provide free, no-obligation quotes, and I’ll never pressure you into making decisions before you're ready.


I proudly serve homeowners across Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Leigh, Paddock Wood, East Peckham, and surrounding areas.

My customers often describe me as trustworthy, approachable, and meticulous. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with someone working in your home, which is why I treat every space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m fully insured, punctual, and I always leave my work areas clean and tidy at the end of each day.

DY Decorating is built on reputation and word-of-mouth. I don’t cut corners – I focus on quality finishes that last, using trusted, professional-grade materials to ensure every job meets (and often exceeds) expectations.


If you’re looking for a decorator who genuinely cares about your home, your vision, and getting the job done properly, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
