Painters and decorators in Fareham
Fareham is a market town at the head of Portsmouth Harbour, a borough in its own right between Portsmouth and Southampton. It combines a historic High Street, large business parks by the M27 and streets of family homes built from the 1960s onwards.
Family homes due a refresh
Fareham saw major residential development in the 1960s, so many homes are now several decades old and on their second or third round of decoration. Across the borough, 2021 Census figures show 36% of homes are detached and more than three-quarters are owner-occupied. That suits whole-house repaints, staircase refurbishment and kitchen cabinet spraying, which gives an older kitchen a new colour without replacement.
Offices at Whiteley and Solent Business Park
Whiteley and Solent Business Park, near junction 9 of the M27, hold a large concentration of offices and commercial units. For office refurbishment in Fareham, decorating is phased so teams keep working, with out-of-hours slots and RAMS supplied in advance. Commercial spray painting suits open-plan ceilings, partitions and doors where a consistent finish is needed quickly.
The High Street and West Street
The High Street is a conservation area with a cluster of Grade II* listed houses, and there are around 166 listed buildings within about two kilometres of the centre. Older brick and timber on these buildings need compatible paints and checks on consent before exterior changes. West Street's shops and venues such as Fareham Live need repainting planned around opening hours.
Harbour edge homes
Homes around Fareham Creek, Wallington and the harbour edge sit near Environment Agency flood alert areas. That does not mean a given house is at risk, but where damp marks or flaking appear low on walls, the cause should be found before redecorating. Wallington is also covered by an Article 4 direction, which limits some changes to house fronts.
Industrial and spray work
Industrial spray painting in Fareham covers units, metal doors, shutters and steelwork. See our roller shutter and metalwork painting pages for how that work is prepared.

Brick and masonry
Fareham was once an important brick maker, and its bricks were used in the Royal Albert Hall. Facing brick on older local buildings is usually best left unpainted; once painted, it needs breathable masonry paint and regular maintenance. Where render or brick has already been painted, we check for flaking and trapped damp before recoating so the new finish adheres.
Landlords in Fareham
About one in eight homes across the borough is privately rented. Repaints between tenancies are kept quick and neat; see our Fareham landlord decorating page.
Planning a repaint
Exterior work is best planned for drier months, while interior decorating can go ahead year round. For homes, we agree which rooms will be done and in what order so you can carry on living there. For businesses, the programme is fixed around trading or working hours before any work starts.
