Petersfield period house painters — Victorian & Georgian repaints
Listed Georgian buildings on the Square makes up a lot of our Petersfield 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
Phasing so owners can stay in-house through the works
Colour research where a heritage palette is desired
Radiator, floor and skirting reveal after decades of paint build-up
Ventilation and drying times for older, less-ventilated rooms
Coordination with plasterers, joiners or electricians on wider refurb work
What owners usually ask first
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.
What about lead paint on the woodwork?
Pre-1970s joinery often carries lead-bearing paint. We test suspect layers and follow HSE-compliant removal — no dry sanding without extraction and containment.
