Interior Painting
Hoghton homes blend old-world charm with modern comfort. This means each painting project needs a special approach, whether it's for an old stone house or a newer build.
Living Rooms & Common Areas
Many Hoghton living rooms have beautiful features like exposed beams and stone fireplaces. These need careful protection during painting. We use special breathable paints that work well with old plaster walls. Many homeowners like to add feature walls to highlight their fireplaces or architectural details.
Kitchen & Dining Areas
Our humid climate means kitchens need special paint. We use moisture-resistant, washable paints that stand up to cooking steam. These paints keep their color well over time. Many owners now choose to paint their kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them, saving money while updating their look.
Bedrooms
Bedrooms often have sloped ceilings and dormer windows, especially in older homes. These tricky areas need careful painting to look even and smooth. Old plaster walls need proper prep work for the best results.
Period Features
Many local homes have beautiful old features like decorative cornices and ceiling roses. We take extra care around these details. Older homes often have lime plaster walls, which need special breathable paints to prevent damp problems.
Surface Preparation
Older homes usually have thick plaster walls. We fix any cracks or repairs before painting. Newer homes have drywall, which needs different prep work but is usually easier to paint.
Paint Types
For older homes with lime plaster, we use special breathable paints. Newer homes with modern walls work well with standard emulsion paints. We always match the right paint to your wall type.
Final Details
We take special care with wooden trim and period features. We often use heritage paint ranges that look right in older homes but last like modern paint. Window seats and built-in storage get extra attention to ensure clean, crisp lines.
Our careful work keeps your home's character while giving you fresh, beautiful walls that last. We understand Hoghton's unique homes and know how to enhance them through quality painting. If you're ready to transform your home, contact us today!
Exterior Painting
Hoghton is home to beautiful Victorian cottages, Georgian terraces, and converted farmhouses. These special buildings need careful exterior painting to protect them and keep their historic look. Our local climate, near the famous Hoghton Tower, brings unique challenges for painting and maintenance.
Weather Considerations
Weather plays a big role in how we paint homes here. With rain falling on 99 days each year, we must choose the right paints and methods. Many houses along Hesketh Lane are built from sandstone. These need special mineral-based paints that let the walls breathe while protecting them from our humid weather.
Paint Selection
For timber-framed houses, we use tough weatherproof coatings like Dulux Weathershield or Johnstone's Stormshield. These paints guard against wind-driven rain and stop wood from rotting. They're perfect for our Lancashire weather.
Many local homeowners want to keep their homes looking authentic. Traditional lime wash works great on old stonework. Modern breathable masonry paints protect brick walls while letting them breathe naturally. For newer homes with rendered walls, we use flexible acrylic paints. These handle the expanding and shrinking that happens with temperature changes.
Addressing Greenery Challenges
Our green surroundings create some challenges too. North-facing walls often get green algae growth. We tackle this with thorough cleaning and special treatments before painting. We always check the weather forecast carefully before starting work. This helps us get the best results in Lancashire's changeable weather.
This careful approach to painting helps keep Hoghton's special character alive. It protects homes against our tough weather while keeping them looking beautiful for years to come.

Popular Colours in Living Rooms
Heritage greens are very popular in Hoghton's living rooms. Many people choose Farrow & Ball's "French Gray" and Little Greene's "Woodland Green". These colours look great with the Lancashire countryside and suit the traditional style of local homes. They work really well with the natural stone features found in many Hoghton houses.
Neutral and Warm Colours in Period Properties
Near Hoghton Tower, period properties often feature neutral and warm colours. These soft, muted shades help show off original features while keeping rooms feeling cosy. They look especially good in homes with exposed beams or stone fireplaces, letting these special features stand out.
Modern Farmhouse Kitchens
Modern farmhouse kitchens in Hoghton often mix light and dark colours. Many homeowners pick white or cream cabinets with darker details to add interest. This style works perfectly in homes that combine old and new design elements.
Impact of Local Weather on Colour Choices
The local weather affects colour choices too. Many people choose warm, rich colours for their living spaces. Dark charcoal and navy blue feature walls are becoming more popular. They create cosy rooms that feel extra welcoming during Lancashire's cold months. People usually balance these dark colours with lighter shades to keep rooms bright, which is important given our often cloudy weather.
Classic Choices for Outside Woodwork and Doors
For outside woodwork and doors, classic black and white is still popular. But more people are choosing heritage greens to match Hoghton's leafy surroundings. These natural colours help houses fit in with our beautiful village landscape while keeping their own style.
These colour choices make Hoghton's homes look beautiful while respecting our village's rich history. They create spaces that feel both modern and traditionally local.
If you’re inspired by these trends, consider refreshing your home’s colour palette!
Additional Services
Damp Climate Solutions
The damp climate can damage wooden garden structures. We use pressure washing and special weather-resistant coatings on decking, pergolas, and garden sheds. This stops moss and algae from growing and makes your outdoor wood last longer.
Preserving Traditional Stonework
Many homes near Hoghton Tower have traditional stonework. We use special sealants on stone walls to preserve their character. This protects them from water damage and wear, which is important in our wet climate.
Minor Repairs Before Painting
We often fix minor problems before painting. This includes repairs to outbuildings, crumbling plaster, and sagging ceilings. We also weatherproof garden structures to help them stand up to Lancashire's tough weather.
Regular Maintenance for Exterior Woodwork
The sun and frost can damage exterior woodwork in local homes. We offer regular maintenance to prevent this damage. We sand and reapply protective finishes that work well in our changing temperatures.
Heritage Materials for Older Properties
For older properties with ornamental features, we use heritage materials and methods. This keeps your property's authentic look while giving it modern protection.
