Interior Painting in Cirencester
Georgian Townhouses and Period Plaster
The Georgian townhouses near Coxwell Street and Dollar Street have tall rooms, original cornicing, and interior lime plaster. Lime plaster needs careful preparation before any modern emulsion is applied.
Victorian Terraces with Character
Beyond the historic core, the Victorian terraces on Swindon Road are a different era but equally characterful. A well-chosen colour on the chimney breast transforms the whole room.
Cotswolds Decorators handles interior painting across all of these property types.
Colour Advice at the Site Visit
Georgian townhouses with original cornicing and sash windows suit heritage ranges from Farrow and Ball and Little Greene. We advise on which palettes work for the light and proportions of each room.
Exterior Painting in Cirencester
Breathable Coatings on Stone and Lime Render
On exterior stone and lime render, we use breathable masonry coatings. Standard impermeable masonry paint seals moisture inside the wall, causing deterioration and blistering.
Original Timber Sash Windows
Original timber sash windows on Georgian townhouses along Dollar Street and Coxwell Street need careful preparation. We strip back to a sound surface, prime correctly, and apply a durable exterior finish.
Cotswolds Decorators provides exterior painting on stone and rendered facades throughout Cirencester.
Conservation Area Experience
Much of Cirencester’s historic centre is a conservation area. Many properties are Grade II listed. We understand correct products, breathable finishes, and the right preparation for lime and old lime plaster.
Our Process in Cirencester
1. Free Site Visit
We visit your Cirencester property and assess every surface. For period properties, we note paint types, surface condition, any lime or stone features needing specific treatment, and conservation area requirements.
2. Written Quote
You receive a fixed-price written quote covering every room and surface. No day rates, no open-ended estimates, and no additions once work starts unless you change the scope.
3. Preparation
Period surfaces get the preparation they need before paint goes on. We protect all furniture, floors, and fittings.
4. Painting
Work proceeds room by room so the property stays accessible throughout. Two finish coats as standard on interior surfaces.
5. Final Walkthrough
We walk through the finished property with you before closing the job. Any detail that falls short of the agreed standard is put right before we leave.
6. Photo Handover
For owners managing the property from elsewhere, we provide a photo walkthrough. Call 01285 708711 to book your free site visit.
