Decorators in Richmond upon Thames
Family-run decorators and home improvement specialists working across Richmond upon Thames and the surrounding area.
Richmond has a higher concentration of listed and conservation-area property than almost anywhere else in London, along with a great deal of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian housing in good original condition. Work here is frequently about preservation rather than replacement.
That changes the approach. Original joinery is repaired and redecorated rather than swapped out, mouldings are matched rather than approximated, and paint systems are chosen with the substrate in mind — old lime plaster and traditional timber do not behave like modern plasterboard and MDF, and treating them as if they do causes problems later.
Where a property is listed, or in a conservation area, external alterations and sometimes internal ones need consent. We will flag anything that looks like it needs checking with the council before work begins rather than afterwards.

Working in Richmond upon Thames — common questions
Do you charge extra to travel to Richmond upon Thames?
No. Richmond upon Thames is within our normal working area, so travel is not added to the quote. If a job is unusually far outside our patch we would tell you before quoting rather than building it into the price quietly.
Which postcodes in Richmond upon Thames do you cover?
We work across TW1, TW2, TW9, TW10, TW11 and the surrounding streets, including Richmond, Twickenham, Teddington, Kew. If you are just outside, it is still worth asking.
Can you work in a conservation area or listed building?
Yes. We are used to working within the constraints these bring, particularly on external decoration and anything visible from the street. Where consent may be needed we will flag it before starting rather than afterwards.
How quickly can you come and quote?
Usually within a few days. We will arrange a time that suits you, look at the actual work rather than estimating over the phone, and follow up with an itemised written quote.
Do you do small jobs, or only whole houses?
Both. A single room, a hallway, one feature wall or a full-house project are all normal for us. We will tell you honestly if a job is too small to be worth mobilising for.
