About
Stringers Home Decorating Centre
We are a family run business which began in 1920 when Edward Stringer set up the business and spent his days decorating while the nights found him making up paints and preparing wallpaper which came untrimmed. None of your modern day technology!
In 1930 his son Edward Jnr became a skilled paper hanger and they worked closely together throughout the 1930s. Edward’s son Richard ran a decorating arm in the 1980s employing and training local decorators. At this time there were 3 generations of Stringers working together. In 2002 Stringers Home Decorating Centre relocated to Manning Road and continue to serve Bourne and beyond.
