House Painting Services
We cover the full range of house painting programmes across Richmond upon Thames, from single-room refreshes to complete whole-house repaints.
Full Interior Repaint
A whole-house interior repaint is the most common job we take on across the borough. Homeowners who have recently purchased, who are preparing to sell, or who want the property refreshed throughout all want the same thing: one team, one visit, everything done properly.
In a Twickenham Victorian semi, a full interior covers hallway and staircase, three to four bedrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen, and bathroom. Original coving and picture rails need masking. Lime plaster walls need the correct primer. Our interior painting service covers what happens room by room, including period feature preparation.
Exterior Walls and Woodwork
The exterior programme runs alongside or immediately before the interior. For a Twickenham Victorian semi, exterior masonry, sash windows, fascias, soffits, and front door are all assessed as part of the same scope.
Sequencing matters. Exterior work completes first, preventing contamination of freshly painted interior rooms. See our exterior painting page for detail on masonry specifications and period render treatment.
Coordinated Schedule
Exterior masonry and interior lime plaster have different preparation phases and cure times. Running them together without a clear sequence leads to contamination and rework.
We plan the full programme from the start. Exterior preparation, priming, and painting complete before interior finishing in rooms that share external walls. The schedule is confirmed with you before we start.
Period Properties
Period properties across Richmond upon Thames need preparation that goes beyond a standard paint job. Georgian townhouses on Richmond Hill carry high ceilings, deep cornicing, ceiling roses, working shutters, and original lime plaster — each feature needs individual treatment.
Ham and Petersham period cottages often have elevated damp from riverside proximity. We identify this at site visit and specify the correct products before any paint is applied. Barnes Castelnau double-fronted villas are large-format projects typically running three to five weeks.
Pre-Sale Preparation
Pre-sale painting is one of our most time-sensitive jobs. We prioritise the rooms that buyers see first: hallway, reception rooms, and kitchen. External presentation — including the front door, front elevation, and visible boundary walls — is handled as a single coordinated scope.
For a Hampton TW12 1930s detached or a Teddington TW11 Victorian semi, a well-presented whole-house programme adds to buyer appeal. We get the job done efficiently and without cutting corners on preparation.

House Painting Costs in London
Prices below are estimates only. Every property is different. Call 020 4572 8995 for a precise quote.


Property Size and Room Count
More rooms, higher ceilings, and more surface area mean more time on site and more materials. A five-bedroom Georgian townhouse is three to four times the scope of a three-bedroom semi.
Period Features and Surface Condition
Lime plaster, deep cornicing, original joinery, and multi-layer old paint all require more preparation. This is the single biggest variable on period properties and the factor most commonly underestimated.
Typical ranges: Hampton TW12 1930s detached full interior — £8,000 to £14,000. Twickenham TW2 Victorian semi, full interior and exterior — £12,000 to £20,000. Richmond Hill or Barnes Georgian townhouse, full programme — £18,000 to £40,000+.
Scope of Exterior Work
A full exterior programme including scaffold, masonry, sash windows, fascias, and front door adds substantially to a whole-house quote. Richmond upon Thames spans the widest cost range of any outer London borough.
A Whitton 1930s semi and a Richmond Hill Georgian townhouse are very different projects. We give you a fixed price at the quotation stage — no surprises mid-project.
