Interior Painting in Lechlade-on-Thames
Georgian Townhouses on Burford Street
The houses on Burford Street and around the market place were built during the late 17th and 18th centuries. Original joinery, cornicing, and plasterwork survives in the better-preserved properties.
Cotswolds Decorators handles interior painting throughout — high ceilings, original cornicing, sash windows, and period plasterwork.
Lime Plaster Preparation
Period cottage interiors have lime plaster that needs proper preparation before any water-based paint is applied. Hallways and staircase walls benefit from pattern wallpaper or a contrasting alcove colour.
Weekenders and Remote Buyers
A common buyer profile in Lechlade is the weekender from London or the Thames Valley who wants the interior brought up to a finish that matches the price paid. We handle that project regularly.
Exterior Painting in Lechlade-on-Thames
Breathable Coatings for Riverside Properties
Lechlade’s riverside setting means properties close to the Thames face damp conditions. On exterior stone and lime render, we use breathable masonry coatings throughout. Standard impermeable paint seals moisture inside natural stone walls, causing blistering.
Original Timber Windows on Burford Street
Original timber windows on Burford Street and High Street need exterior wood paint applied over properly prepared and primed timber. We strip back to a sound surface, prime correctly, and apply a durable finish.
Cotswolds Decorators provides exterior painting on stone, render elevations, and original timber joinery throughout Lechlade.
Conservation Area Requirements
The conservation area covers the market place, Burford Street, and High Street. Many properties are Grade II listed. We use breathable and lime-compatible products where the surface requires it.
Our Process in Lechlade-on-Thames
1. Free Site Visit
We visit your GL7 property and assess every surface. For period properties, we note existing paint types, surface condition, lime or stone features needing specific treatment, and conservation area considerations.
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 and Painting
Period surfaces get the preparation they need before paint goes on. We protect all furniture, floors, and fittings. Work proceeds room by room so the property stays liveable throughout.
4. 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.
5. Photo Handover
For remotely managed properties, we provide a photo walkthrough instead. Call 01285 708711 to book your free site visit.
