Painters & decorators in Chelsea.

From the garden squares off the King's Road to the riverside streets of Cheyne Walk and the cottages of Chelsea's older lanes, this is one of London's most characterful districts — a mix of Georgian and Victorian terraces, artists' houses and mews, much of it within the Chelsea Conservation Area.

The properties we work in

Chelsea's housing is more varied than its grand neighbours: elegant Georgian and Victorian terraces, the famous painted façades around the King's Road and Bywater Street, riverside houses on Cheyne Walk, and intimate mews and cottages. Each calls for a tailored approach, from full townhouse redecoration to the careful restoration of a small period interior.

Colour and the painted façade

Chelsea is known for its confidently coloured front doors and façades. Where exterior colour is involved we advise on the right system for render, brick and joinery, prepare samples in situ, and — within any conservation requirements — help achieve a colour that is both characterful and correct. Front doors and railings are finished to a standard that earns a second look.

Period interiors, properly prepared

Behind Chelsea's façades, original cornicing, panelling, shutters and staircases reward careful work. Our method protects and restores these features: filling and repair where needed, the correct primers for aged timber and plaster, and hand-finished woodwork that sits comfortably in a period room rather than looking freshly industrial.
