Our story
Founded by John. Run today by Ian.
John Delamare founded Delamare and Sons in Bournemouth in 1967. Today his son Ian runs the business, bringing 23 years of hands-on experience to every job.
We help homeowners, landlords and businesses who want their property to look better without starting again. Our speciality is kitchen cabinet respraying: doors are removed and sprayed off-site in a dedicated workshop. We also respray bespoke joinery, fitted wardrobes, staircases and uPVC frames, and take on interior decorating, exterior decorating, full home refurbishment, wallpapering, murals and commercial projects.
We work across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Canford Cliffs, Sandbanks and the New Forest, and further afield in Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset.
