Interior Painting
Croston's homes have their own special character. From cozy Lancashire cottages to grand Victorian houses, each home needs a careful approach to interior painting.
Living Rooms
Local living rooms often have beautiful original features. You'll find exposed beams in older cottages and decorative cornicing in Victorian homes. Many homeowners choose feature walls to make the most of high ceilings. These rooms need special care, especially when dealing with old plasterwork and fixing hairline cracks.
Kitchens
Kitchens need extra attention because of moisture issues. This is especially true in older homes with less ventilation. We use special moisture-resistant paints near sinks and cooking areas. Many people now choose to paint their kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them. This gives their shaker-style units a fresh look while saving money.
Bedrooms
Bedrooms in Croston often have unique features to work around. These include sloped cottage ceilings and Victorian bay windows. We use low-VOC paints that are safer for families. Our team carefully works around built-in storage and period features to ensure even coverage on all surfaces.
Bathrooms
Local weather means bathrooms need special attention. We use anti-mold paints and ensure proper ventilation during painting. Many local bathrooms mix tiles with plaster walls. This requires specific preparation techniques to make sure the paint lasts.
Trim and Period Features
Victorian homes in Croston often have detailed skirting boards and door frames. These need careful preparation and special paints. We use hard-wearing enamels to protect these features while preserving their historic charm.
Wall Types We Work With
Local homes have different wall types that each need special treatment:
- Traditional lime plaster that needs breathable paint
- Modern drywall in newer areas
- Exposed stone or brick that needs special care
- Wooden paneling requiring specific preparation
Professional painters in the area must balance old and new. We protect period features while using modern techniques. Our work considers local weather conditions and traditional building materials.
Whether your home is centuries old or more modern, we understand Croston's unique painting needs. We'll help protect and enhance your home's character with the right approach for your specific property. Contact us today to discuss your interior painting project!
Exterior Painting
Our exterior painting service helps protect and beautify homes in Croston's unique village setting. We understand the local buildings and weather conditions that make painting here different from other areas.
Local Weather Protection
Croston gets lots of rain and changing humidity levels throughout the year. We use high-quality paints like Dulux Weathershield and Johnstone's Stormshield to combat these conditions. These paints let buildings breathe while keeping moisture out. This is especially important for Croston's brick cottages and rendered walls.
Caring for Different Building Types
We adapt our methods for each type of local property:
- Victorian Houses: We take extra care with detailed facades, using special breathable paints that suit historic buildings.
- Traditional Cottages: We choose specific masonry coatings that protect brick while keeping its natural look.
- Modern Homes: We use specially designed paints for newer materials like UPVC and composite cladding.
Colors That Match Croston's Beauty
We offer paint colors that blend perfectly with our village setting:
- Gentle sage greens that match our riverside plants.
- Warm cream shades similar to local sandstone.
- Soft grays that work well with traditional slate roofs.
Our Professional Approach
We adjust our painting methods to suit Croston's environment:
- We allow extra drying time because of our humid climate.
- We always apply two coats for better protection against rain.
- We use careful preparation techniques that protect old surfaces while ensuring paint sticks properly.
Our methods help keep Croston's special character while making sure your home stays protected from our local weather. Contact us today to learn more about how we can transform your home!

Victorian Houses
Victorian houses in Croston often feature rich, traditional colours. Deep navy blues and forest greens are popular for feature walls. These colours create an elegant feel that works well with original features. The deep tones look stunning against high ceilings and decorative cornicing.
Cottages and Traditional Homes
In local cottages and traditional Lancashire homes, people often pick warm, natural colours. Soft Sage Green is a favourite for kitchens and living rooms. It reflects the lovely green riverside setting. These colours work well with cream and taupe, which complement exposed beams and other traditional features.
Georgian Homes
Many Georgian homes use classic colour schemes. Warm whites and soft greys create a timeless look. These colours suit the symmetrical buildings in the Conservation Area perfectly. The lighter shades help bring in more natural light while keeping the elegant look of these historic homes.
Modern Homes
Modern homes on the edge of the village often use contemporary neutral colours. Clean whites with charcoal grey create bold contrasts in newer builds. These choices offer a modern take on traditional village style while fitting in with Croston's overall look.
Exterior Colours
For outside walls, homeowners usually pick colours that work well with Croston's stone and red brick buildings. Warm creams and soft greys are always popular choices. These colours help homes blend in with the village's historic streets and stand up well to Lancashire weather.
Consider refreshing your home’s colours to enhance its charm and beauty!

Local Experts
Croston's Weather Challenges
Local weather presents special challenges. We get over 1,000mm of rain yearly, and humidity levels are usually 75-85%. This is why we've developed special methods for both indoor and outdoor work. We carefully track weather patterns and plan exterior projects for the best conditions. This is especially important because we're close to the River Yarrow and its flood areas.
Expert Care for Historic Buildings
About 20% of Croston's homes were built before 1900. These historic buildings need expert care and knowledge of traditional methods. We're experts at working with the sandstone buildings that make our village special. We know exactly how these materials work with modern paints and treatments.
Addressing Local Issues
We're skilled at handling local issues like damp conditions near the River Yarrow flood basin. We use special moisture-resistant products that work well in Croston's unique climate. This is particularly important for homes in the village's lower areas.
Protecting Your Investment
We know that homes in Croston are valuable investments, with the average property worth £290,000. That's why we use high-quality products and techniques. These protect and enhance your home while respecting its history.
Understanding Conservation Area Rules
We understand all the rules for Croston's Conservation Area. This helps us maintain our village's special character while protecting homes from our tough Northwest weather. We regularly work with lime-based materials, which are essential for Croston's period properties. This includes the beautiful Georgian and Victorian homes that make our village unique.

We've served Croston's 2,700 residents for many years. We know that our community wants to keep traditional looks while having modern durability.
