Hampstead
NW3Period homes, conservation areas, plaster ceilings worth treating with care.
From Hampstead and Highgate down through Islington, and out to Finchley, Barnet and Enfield. The neighbourhoods we've worked in enough to know the housing stock. We'll travel for the right project; we won't pretend to be local when we're not.
Most of our clients come from word of mouth in a few specific neighbourhoods. These are the postcodes we know best.
Period homes, conservation areas, plaster ceilings worth treating with care.
Tall sash windows and generous period rooms. Most jobs here are heritage paints and traditional finishes.
Edwardian terraces with original mouldings worth restoring rather than papering over.
Edwardian family homes. We work clean and quietly around school runs and home offices.
Georgian and early Victorian houses where heritage-grade paint makes a visible difference on period plaster and joinery.
Victorian terraces. Clients here lean toward bolder colour and statement wallpaper.
Painted joinery and slim period cornicing, where the brushwork is in close view.
Tall stuccoed villas with original lath-and-plaster walls. Patient prep, soft finish.
Local, on purpose.
Working in a handful of neighbourhoods means we can meet you in person rather than guessing from photos, drop samples without billing travel, and come back for a single touch-up months later without it becoming a trip.
It also means we know the houses. The Edwardian and Victorian terraces in Hampstead, Highgate and Crouch End still have lath-and-plaster walls, soft sash windows and cornicing that was cut in by hand. The 1930s semis in Finchley and Barnet have painted hardwood that's been over-painted half a dozen times. Islington is mostly Georgian and early Victorian. Each era asks for different prep, different paint and different patience. The only way to know what's behind a wall is to have stripped a few like it before.
Tell us about the room (or the whole house). We'll come and have a look, talk it through, and send you a written quote within a few days. No pressure, no hard sell.
