Richmond has some of south-west London's finest period homes. We're experienced with lime plaster, original cornicing, and the specific preparation these surfaces require for a lasting finish.

Conservation area knowledge

Many Richmond streets fall within conservation areas. We advise on period-appropriate colours and finishes that suit the character of your building — honest guidance, not a sales pitch.

Direct to the owner, every time

You deal directly with Joseph from first call to final brush. No call centres, no subcontractors turning up unannounced. What you agree on the phone is what happens on the day.

Decorating in Richmond — What We've Learned

Richmond is one of the most architecturally varied areas in south-west London, and we work here regularly. The Edwardian terraces along Sheen Road and the side streets off Manor Road often have original Anaglypta dado rails and high-relief cornicing — rush the cutting-in and you ruin features that took skilled craftsmen weeks to install. Richmond Hill is dominated by Georgian townhouses and late-Victorian villas with external masonry in exposed positions, particularly prone to damp staining and spalling render on upper storeys where weatherproof primer and flexible masonry paint are essential. Properties near Richmond Green tend to be converted Victorian stock — older plaster that benefits from a mist coat before emulsion. Over in Petersham and Ham you'll find everything from 18th-century cottages to 1960s infill housing, each with different surface conditions. We've been working in Richmond since 2024 and the approach is always the same: assess the actual surface, prepare it correctly, and apply the right product for what's there. That's what produces a finish that still looks good in five years' time.

What Richmond Homeowners Say

★★★★★
Absolutely outstanding work from start to finish. The team were professional, tidy, and the finish on our hallway and living room is perfect. They covered all our furniture carefully and cleaned up completely each evening. The colour advice they gave us was spot on too. Would not hesitate to recommend.
