Interior Painting
Living Rooms
Older homes have high ceilings and fancy cornicing. Painters take extra care to protect these special features. Most people choose neutral colors. These lighter shades make narrow rooms feel bigger while showing off original details.
Kitchens & Bathrooms
Lancashire's damp weather means we need special paints in wet areas. We use moisture-resistant paint, especially in older homes with poor ventilation. We also update kitchen cabinets to look modern while keeping their charm.

Exterior Painting
Nelson is known for its beautiful Victorian and Edwardian buildings. These historic structures need special care when it comes to exterior painting. Our local climate and unique architecture create specific challenges that require expert attention.
Climate Considerations
Nelson experiences around 175 rainy days each year. This means we need to choose the right paints and methods to protect your property. For brick buildings, we use breathable paints like Dulux WeatherShield. These allow moisture to escape while keeping walls safe from rain and frost.
Attention to Detail in Victorian Homes
Victorian homes in Whitefield have delicate architectural features that need extra care. These include decorative cornices and bay windows. We take time to properly prepare and paint these details. Many Edwardian houses in Nelson have pebbledash walls. These need thorough cleaning and repair before painting starts.
Material-Specific Treatments
Buildings here often combine different materials like brick, stone, and render. Each surface needs its own special treatment. Stone buildings, especially near Pendle Hill, work best with limewash treatments. This lets the stone breathe naturally while protecting it from weather damage.
Color Choices That Reflect Heritage
When choosing colors, many local homeowners prefer heritage shades that match the town's character. Popular choices include soft sage green, warm cream, and elegant charcoal gray. These colors respect the area's history while adding fresh appeal to older properties.
Expertise and Commitment
Our expertise covers Nelson's diverse architecture and challenging weather conditions. We understand how to protect these important buildings using modern techniques. With proper preparation and quality materials, we help preserve Nelson's industrial heritage. Our work ensures these buildings stay protected against Lancashire weather for years to come.

Living Rooms
Living rooms often have feature walls that make a bold statement. Deep emerald green and navy blue are top choices. These rich colours add drama while keeping the traditional feel of local homes.
Exterior Colours
Outside, people pick colours that work well with stone buildings. Sage Green and cream are popular for exterior walls. Many choose charcoal grey or navy blue for front doors and window frames. These create a smart look against the natural stone.
Converted Mill Properties
Nelson's converted mill properties have their own special style. Owners often go for a modern industrial look. They combine clean whites with dark charcoal to highlight the building's history while creating modern living spaces.
Kitchens and Bathrooms
In kitchens and bathrooms, practical style is key. Soft-sheen paints in neutral colours are a favourite choice. They last well and never go out of style. Many add touches of colour through painted cabinets or feature walls, often in soft blues and greens.
Woodwork Finishes
More local homeowners are painting their woodwork instead of keeping natural wood. Dark Green and Navy Blue are popular for skirting boards and door frames. This adds class while keeping the period look.
These colour choices show how Nelson residents balance beauty with practicality. The results are homes that look great and suit the town's special character and building history.

Local Experts
Challenges of Nelson's Weather
Nelson's location near Pendle Hill brings special challenges. The wind-driven rain and high humidity can be tough on buildings. That's why we carefully choose weather-resistant paints that protect against the heavy annual rainfall. These materials also let the local stone and brick walls breathe naturally.
Understanding Local Architecture
Victorian terraces make up over 60% of local homes. These special buildings need traditional materials and methods to keep them looking their best. We know how to protect original features while making sure they can handle our tough weather.
Addressing Industrial Stains
Many local properties show signs of the town's industrial past. Years of coal use have left marks on exterior walls. We use special cleaning methods to tackle these stains before we start painting.
Heritage and Conservation
We've done lots of work in Nelson's Whitefield Conservation Area. This means we know all about keeping heritage properties looking authentic while meeting modern standards. We follow all local planning rules and conservation guidelines to protect Nelson's unique character.
