What’s Included in a Full House Repaint

A full house repaint with Cotswolds Decorators covers every surface and room agreed in the quote, managed as a single project from start to finish.

Thorough Preparation Across All Surfaces

We fill cracks and holes, sand back flaking paint, spot-prime bare patches, and stabilise any loose plaster before any finish coat goes on. Cotswolds period properties have lime plaster walls, original joinery, and deep cornicing — all of which need more preparation than modern builds.

All Painted Surfaces, Fully Specified

Walls, ceilings, woodwork, skirting boards, architraves, window frames, and doors. Every surface agreed in the quote is completed to the same standard.

Our interior painting and exterior painting services are also available as standalone projects.

Interior and Exterior in Coordinated Sequence

Interior first. Exterior second. This protects freshly painted internal surfaces from scaffold dust and weather. The sequence is planned before we start.

Whole-House Palette Consultation

Colours planned room by room so the house reads as one scheme. We advise on ranges from Farrow and Ball and Little Greene, suitable for Cotswolds period properties. Included at no extra charge.

Single Project Management

One point of contact throughout. One quote covering everything. One final walkthrough where everything is checked together.

How a Full House Repaint Works

1. Initial Walkthrough

We visit and walk every room and surface with you, noting ceiling heights, plasterwork condition, period features, and the finish you want. Colour consultation happens here.

2. Written Quote

You receive a clear, itemised quote covering every room and surface, agreed in writing before we start.

3. Sequence Planning

We plan the order of rooms around your routine. For occupied properties, we typically start at the top and work downwards floor by floor.

4. Preparation Phase

All filling, sanding, and priming happens before any finish coat. This phase takes longer than most clients expect — and it is why a professionally painted room still looks good five years later.

5. Painting Phase

Room by room. Each room is completed and inspected before we move to the next. Two or more finish coats on all surfaces, depending on the paint system used.

6. Final Inspection and Sign-Off

We walk the full property with you at the end. Anything that does not meet the standard is addressed before we leave.

House Painting Costs in the Cotswolds

Prices below are estimates only. Every property is different. Call 01285 708711 for a precise quote. A full interior repaint for a Cotswolds period property typically falls between £4,000 and £12,000 depending on size, surface condition, and paint choice.

Number of Rooms and Surface Area

More rooms, more ceiling, more woodwork. A four-bedroom stone farmhouse is a significantly larger project than a two-bedroom cottage.

Condition of Existing Surfaces

Period lime plaster needs more preparation than smooth modern plasterboard. Deep cornicing has more surface area than flat ceilings. A room with original features takes longer to prepare and paint than a plain modern room of the same size.

Paint Quality

Standard trade emulsion performs well and carries good guarantees. Farrow and Ball and Little Greene provide period-appropriate depth of colour. The cost difference across a full house is noticeable, and the finish justifies it for most Cotswolds properties.

For interior-only or exterior-only projects, see our interior painting and exterior painting pages. We also provide wallpapering and commercial painting services.

House Painters in the Cotswolds FAQs

How long does a full house repaint take?

It depends on the size of the property. A three-bedroom Victorian terrace in Stroud typically takes five to eight working days. A larger stone farmhouse or Georgian townhouse with period features throughout can take two to three weeks. We give a realistic timeline in writing before starting.

Can you repaint one room at a time while we’re living in the property?

Yes. We work room by room, completing each one before moving to the next. Furniture is moved and protected during each phase. Most clients find the disruption manageable when the sequence is planned well.

Do you provide colour consultation?

Yes. We help you plan a whole-house palette, considering how rooms connect and how colours read at different times of day. For period properties, we advise on ranges from Farrow and Ball and Little Greene. No separate charge for this.

Can you handle both interior and exterior as one project?

Yes. We coordinate interior and exterior work as a single project, working inside first. You deal with one point of contact, one quote, and one handover.

Do you work with Farrow and Ball and Little Greene paints?

Yes. We work with both regularly. Both perform well on period plasterwork and give excellent depth of colour. We can advise on specific shades that suit Cotswolds stone interiors and arrange supply as part of your project.

How do you protect period features like cornicing during painting?

Cornicing, ceiling roses, and decorative plasterwork are masked carefully before painting begins. We use fine-tipped brushes to cut in around intricate profiles. Sash windows are painted open so they still slide freely once the paint has cured.

Do you work on holiday lets and second homes?

Yes. Many of our whole-house projects are for second-home owners in Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Chipping Campden, refreshing properties ahead of the letting season. We can be briefed remotely and trusted with access.
