Waterlooville period house painters — Victorian & Georgian repaints
Predominantly post-war and modern estate housing makes up a lot of our Waterlooville 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 the older houses here need
Predominantly post-war and modern estate housing, Wellington Retail Park stock, and small light-industrial units around Hambledon Road.
Audience: Owners of pre-1940s properties needing sympathetic full or partial repainting.
From detail protection to final coat
Every Waterlooville period house we've worked on has had at least one surprise behind the paint — a survey exists to find them before the quote goes in.
The realistic weekly radius
Retail-park works run before 9am or after 6pm to suit footfall — landlord co-ordination is straightforward via park agents.

What we plan around before mobilising
Substrate breathability — modern impermeable paints on lime cause blistering
Original mouldings and features worth reviving rather than overpainting
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
What owners usually ask first
Will you use breathable paint?
Where the substrate is lime plaster or lime-render we default to a breathable mineral or clay-based system. Where the wall is modern gypsum we use trade acrylic emulsion — the choice is substrate-driven.
Can we stay in the house during the work?
Yes — we phase period repaints room by room, dust-protect between zones and clean down every evening so the working part of the house doesn't spread into your living space.
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.
