Why Prime Coat London
in Hampstead.
Hampstead asks more of a decorator than almost anywhere in London. The Georgian and early-Victorian houses of the Village — Church Row, Flask Walk, the lanes off Heath Street — sit alongside Arts and Crafts homes around Frognal, red-brick mansion blocks down Fitzjohn's Avenue, and the mid-century flats of Swiss Cottage; much of it is listed, and nearly all of it is inside a conservation area. We treat that stock the way it was built to be treated: breathable materials over lime plaster, joinery repaired rather than replaced, colours sampled against the north light before anything is committed. The Village's practical headaches — single-lane streets, resident-permit parking, nowhere to stand a skip — are solved in the plan, not on the day.
- 01Real period know-how: lime plaster, panelling, sash joinery, and conservation-area colour palettes
- 02Village logistics planned in advance — permit parking, narrow-lane access, licensed scaffold, no skip required
- 03Quiet, tidy sites for occupied family homes, with dust control and daily clean-down
- 04Fixed, itemised quotes, £2m public liability cover, and a 1-year workmanship guarantee
What we do here
Our services
in Hampstead.
The same six services we run across London, adapted to how Hampstead is actually built — its housing stock, access rules, and quirks.
01
Interior Painting for Listed Hampstead Houses
Panelled receptions, winding staircases, and wonky, hand-finished lime walls define the Village's interiors, and they punish modern shortcuts. We brush oil eggshell onto panelling and balustrades rather than spraying character away, keep vinyl paints off breathing plaster, and accept that a two-hundred-year-old wall should read flat, not laser-straight. In the Fitzjohn's Avenue mansion blocks we book porters and lifts, run low-odour systems in occupied flats, and take evening slots where house rules require them. Colour decisions are made on the wall, under Hampstead's cool northern light — never off a chart.

Heritage Exterior Painting in NW3
Painted brick, tuck-pointed fronts, rendered garden walls, and generations of timber — sashes, canopies, iron railings — make Hampstead exteriors slow, careful work. We strip failing coatings back to sound substrate, splice decayed cill and glazing-bar timber, prime bare metal, and finish in conservation-appropriate colours; where a listed front needs consent for a change of shade, we flag it before a brush is loaded rather than after. Scaffold on the Village's narrow pavements is licensed and planned around neighbours, and coats go on only inside genuine weather windows.

Wallpaper Removal on Lime Plaster
The older the house, the more the wall behind the paper matters. In Hampstead's Georgian and Victorian rooms the paper usually sits directly on soft lime plaster, sometimes over earlier distemper that lets go in sheets. We work in low steam, lift each layer at its own pace, and resist the scraper — the goal is to keep original plaster on the wall, not to make quick progress into it. Friable patches are consolidated, losses filled with compatible material, and the surface skimmed or lined only where it genuinely will not take a finish.

Hand-Painted and Sprayed Kitchen Cabinets
Hampstead kitchens split two ways. The in-frame, painted-timber kitchens of the Village suit a traditional hand-brushed finish — flowed-out oil or hybrid enamel that keeps the joinery's character and can be touched in over the years. The flat-panel units of West Hampstead conversions and Swiss Cottage flats suit the opposite: doors off, sprayed dead-flat in durable 2K lacquer, and rehung inside a week. We advise honestly on which finish fits your kitchen and your tolerance for disruption, and both routes come with the same preparation standards and guarantee.

Library, Wardrobe and Joinery Spraying
Full-height bookcases, window seats, and fitted wardrobes are half the point of owning a Hampstead house, and new joinery has to sit convincingly beside hundred-and-fifty-year-old skirting. We spray fitted pieces to a furniture-grade finish colour-locked to the room's existing woodwork, tenting the work area and extracting overspray so lacquer never drifts onto period detail. Where a client's cabinetmaker is mid-build, we coordinate priming and finishing around their programme so the joinery arrives at handover already dressed.
View the service06
Damp Treatment for Hillside and Basement Rooms
Hampstead's slopes keep its damp interesting: gardens that sit higher than the rooms behind them, brick basements cut into the hill below Heath Street, and exposed gables that take the weather straight off the Heath. Impermeable modern paint traps all of it. We diagnose whether moisture is penetrating, rising, or condensing before proposing anything, treat the growth, and reinstate with breathable mineral and salt-tolerant systems that let solid walls dry inward. Where the driver is a cold, under-ventilated bathroom rather than the wall itself, we recommend the ventilation fix first.
