Fareham period house painters — Victorian & Georgian repaints

Mix of 1980s–2000s commercial units at Segensworth makes up a lot of our Fareham work. These properties usually still carry their original mouldings, picture rails and dado detail — the scope is as much about protecting and reviving those as it is applying paint.

What we plan around before mobilising

01

Original mouldings and features worth reviving rather than overpainting

02

Phasing so owners can stay in-house through the works

03

Colour research where a heritage palette is desired

04

Radiator, floor and skirting reveal after decades of paint build-up

05

Ventilation and drying times for older, less-ventilated rooms

What owners usually ask first

How do you handle mouldings and cornice?

We mask and cut in by hand around original mouldings, and where paint build-up has softened detail we can carefully strip back to reveal the original profile before repainting.

Can you match a National Trust or Farrow & Ball palette?

Yes — we sample and match to Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Edward Bulmer, Papers & Paints and Paint & Paper Library. Brush-out samples are provided before full application.

How long does a whole-house period repaint take?

A three-bed Victorian semi typically runs 3–4 weeks including preparation and touch-ups. Larger Edwardian and Georgian homes phase over 5–8 weeks depending on ceiling heights and detail.

Do you work on the outside as well?

Yes — we run the exterior joinery and render as a separate weather-window phase, usually April–October, and dovetail it with interior work rather than blocking the whole programme on weather.
