Painting & Decorating in Gidea Park

Gidea Park is an unusual and architecturally interesting suburb. Its origins in the 1911 and 1934 Daily Mail Ideal Home exhibitions mean the area contains a notable cluster of Arts and Crafts and interwar-modern houses that were designed to a higher standard than typical suburban stock. Homeowners here tend to take the appearance of their properties seriously, and decorating work needs to respect original features — picture rails, architraves, skirting boards with decorative profiles, timber casement windows and door surrounds that may have been painted over many times. Getting a high-quality finish on period woodwork requires stripping back where necessary, thorough surface preparation, appropriate primers and the kind of patient brush application that a roller cannot replicate.

We carry out both interior and exterior decorating in Gidea Park. Interior projects typically involve ceilings, walls and all woodwork — skirting, architraves, doors and window reveals — with care taken to achieve clean edges at coving and cornicing. Exterior work on Gidea Park's period houses often involves timber windows and fascias, painted brick or rendered elevations, and front doors that form an important part of the property's character. We use quality trade paints throughout and discuss colour and finish with homeowners before starting.
