Interior Painting in Chapelfields
Chapelfields’ Victorian terraces have two storeys at the front and three at the rear. The internal layouts are more varied than standard Victorian terraces because each house was built to individual specification.
Lime Plaster Preparation
Original lime plaster behind decades of repainting requires compatible preparation products. We stabilise, fill, and prime correctly before any finish coat goes on.
Cornicing and Coving
Front reception rooms have cornicing and coving that need careful work rather than another build-up of paint. We strip back where necessary to restore the profile.
Hallways and Staircases
Tight hallways with original tiled floors and limited natural light need a clean finish to look right. We prepare surfaces properly in these high-traffic areas.
Period Bedrooms
Small bedrooms with original fireplaces and alcove shelving have accumulated layers of old paint. We strip and reprime where needed for a lasting result.


We use Dulux Trade and Johnstone’s as standard. For period properties, heritage colour ranges from Farrow and Ball and Little Greene work particularly well in hallways and front reception rooms.
Exterior Painting in Chapelfields
Chapelfields’ terraces have small front gardens and individually designed doorways and porches. The exterior work here is detailed rather than large-scale.


Individual Doorways and Porches
Almost every property has a different front door and porch design. We prepare and repaint whatever configuration the property has: panelled doors, glazed doors, tiled porch floors, and timber porches.
Timber Window Frames
Victorian sash windows on Chapelfields terraces need stripping where old paint is failing, priming bare timber, and a durable exterior coat applied correctly.
Brick and Rendered Sections
Chapelfields’ red-brick terraces generally do not require painting. Where rendered sections exist on bay projections or porch returns, we apply breathable masonry coatings.
Rear Elevations
The three-storey rear elevation, the distinctive feature reflecting the original workshop function, needs the same preparation and coating as the front.
Exterior painting covers all external surfaces on Chapelfields properties.
