Painters & decorators in Notting Hill.

Notting Hill is one of London's most distinctive areas — celebrated for its colourful stucco terraces, communal garden squares and the grander villas towards Holland Park. Much of it falls within conservation areas, where the rhythm of the painted façades is part of the area's identity, and decorating well means working in sympathy with it.

The properties we work in

The area runs from the iconic pastel-painted terraces around Lansdowne and Elgin Crescent to substantial stucco villas near Holland Park and period townhouses on the garden squares. Many open onto communal gardens and retain fine original detail — cornicing, shutters, staircases — that rewards careful work, whether a full townhouse redecoration or a single elegant room.

The painted façade

Notting Hill is defined by its colour. Where exterior work is involved we advise on the right system for stucco and render, prepare samples in situ, and — within any conservation requirements — help achieve a façade colour that is both characterful and correct. The painted finish on these terraces is the area's signature, and we treat it with the precision it deserves.

Period interiors, properly prepared

Behind the façades, Victorian proportions and original features reward a careful hand. Our method protects and restores them — repair and filling where needed, the correct primers for aged timber and plaster, and hand-finished woodwork that belongs in a period room rather than looking freshly industrial.

Colour within the rules

Notting Hill's pastel terraces are the most photographed streets we work in — and among the more regulated. The famous colour sits inside conservation-area conventions, and repainting a façade here means working with the street's palette and the render's chemistry at once, not just choosing a pretty shade. Behind the fronts, Victorian villas and communal-garden houses carry generous rooms that take colour confidently.

Interiors follow the area's character: bolder than the stucco squares to the south, panelled feature walls and deep tones handled with the restraint that keeps them elegant — depth used well, as our complete guide puts it, with the edges crisp.
