Interior painting in Paddington

Paddington 2021 heritage Victorian terrace interior painting is conservation-grade work. Original cornice, picture rails, lath-and-plaster walls, and 1880s hardwood trim all need handling that off-the-shelf painting practice doesn't cover.

Paddington context

What interior painting looks like in Paddington

Standard Paddington terrace internal walls are lath-and-plaster on hardwood stud with hairline cracks at every season change. We rake and mesh-tape every crack before topcoat — face-skim alone reopens within months. Original cornice and picture rails are sanded back lightly to remove accumulated paint film, never aggressively. Original hardwood trim takes Aquanamel as a heritage-equivalent water-based gloss — the look of oil enamel without the smell or yellowing. Heritage-listed homes have additional prep restrictions; we follow whatever the council's heritage officer specifies.

Our process — same standard, every booking

1
Prep is half the job
Holes filled, cracks raked out, surfaces sanded and dust-vacuumed. Cheap quotes skip this — the paint then peels.
2
Cut and roll
Two coats minimum on walls, three on ceilings if needed.
3
Inspect at handover
We walk every wall with you in daylight before invoicing — anything missed gets fixed.
