Do you decorate period and heritage properties?
Yes. We decorate Victorian, Edwardian and character properties across Sutton Coldfield and the West Midlands, with careful preparation and finishes that respect original features.
What's involved.
Period and heritage property decorating in Sutton Coldfield requires a different approach to modern homes. Original timber, decorative plasterwork, sash windows and cornices need careful preparation and the right products so the finish lasts without damaging the fabric of the building.
Older properties often require more preparation than modern homes. Cracks, historic coatings, damaged plaster and ageing timber are assessed before decorating so the correct preparation and products can be used before the final finish is applied.
From full room redecoration to complete property refurbishment, we work on Victorian and Edwardian homes, 1930s semis and other character properties across Sutton Coldfield, Four Oaks, Mere Green, Little Aston, Lichfield and the surrounding areas.

Common questions.
Do you work on listed buildings?+
We work on many character and period properties. For formally listed buildings we follow any conservation requirements and can coordinate with conservation officers where necessary.
Can you match original paint colours?+
Yes. We can colour-match existing finishes or specify period-appropriate shades from heritage ranges such as Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Mylands.
Will you repair plaster and timber as part of the job?+
Minor repairs are included as standard. Larger restoration work is quoted separately and carried out before the decorative finish.
How long does a period property redecoration take?+
A single room typically takes one to two weeks. A full Victorian or Edwardian property refurbishment can take four to eight weeks depending on size and condition.
