Painting & Decorating in Streatham

Streatham has undergone a genuine transformation over the past decade, and the standard of decorating that homeowners and landlords expect has risen accordingly. Its Victorian and Edwardian terraces — many converted into flats — have original features worth preserving: high ceilings, plaster cornicing, picture rails, and deep skirting boards. Working in these properties well means knowing how to restore rather than cover up.

Streatham's Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats present a specific challenge: the ceilings are high (often 3.2–3.5m), the cornicing is original and fragile, and the walls may have had fifteen or twenty coats of emulsion over 130 years that need assessing before adding another.

Period conversion flat redecorations — particularly in the tall-ceilinged Victorian properties along Streatham Hill and the Edwardian streets off the Common — are our most frequent Streatham projects. We also carry out exterior repaints of the area's terraced stock, including some striking Victorian shopfronts along Streatham High Road.
