Decorating Chelsea's period homes

Homes in Chelsea range from period townhouses and mews houses to mansion flats, many with original cornicing and sash windows. We bring careful preparation, protected interiors and a precise finish to each one, from a single room to a whole house.

How we work

Your home protected throughout

Your home is protected throughout, a dedicated project manager is your single point of contact, and every finish is carried out with care.

Scope and pricing are agreed before work begins, and any change is agreed before extra work starts. We are a team of around 20 decorators, and our decorators have 15+ years of experience.

Mansion flats

Tidy, discreet teams and dust-controlled working, suited to homes that stay lived in.

Mews houses

Listed and conservation-area homes

Heritage property expertise, with a sensitive approach for listed and conservation-area homes.

Experienced with paints from Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Paint & Paper Library, and wallpaper by Cole & Son, de Gournay, Phillip Jeffries and Pierre Frey.

Do you decorate period and listed homes in Chelsea?

Yes. For listed and conservation-area homes, we bring heritage property expertise and a sensitive approach, and timber sash windows are repaired and restored rather than replaced. Scaffold and permits for exterior work are managed by Bellefair.

Can sash windows be repaired rather than replaced?

Yes. We repair and restore timber sash windows, using Repair Care resin repairs for damaged timber. We use Speedheater infrared to strip old paint, varnish and putty from windows, doors and woodwork, inside and out. It's gentle on the surface and uses no chemicals, so period joinery can be restored rather than replaced, and it's ready to paint straight away.

Will my furniture and floors be protected?

Yes. Floors, furniture and belongings are carefully covered, with dust-controlled preparation to keep the home clean. Where possible, please clear the room before we start.

Do you do plastering repairs?

Yes. Plastering repairs are part of our work, and minor plaster repairs are included in Property Finishes Care, our upkeep service.

Is your work guaranteed and insured?

Yes. Every project is backed by a 2-year workmanship guarantee. The guarantee does not cover leaks, damp, structural movement or underlying defects. We hold £5 million public liability and £10 million employer's liability insurance, and insurance documents are available on request.

How much does painting and decorating cost in Chelsea?

Every home is different, so we agree the scope and price with you before work begins, and any change is agreed before extra work starts. Send a few details through our contact page or call 020 3540 9963, and we will reply within one working day.
