Interior Painting
Living Rooms
New Longton homes have unique features that need special care. Many houses have original plasterwork and decorative details like cornices and ceiling roses. These features need careful prep work and special primers. Our local painters know how to protect these beautiful details while giving your walls new life.
Kitchens
Lancashire's humid weather means kitchen walls need extra protection. Many New Longton kitchens are open-plan, connecting to dining areas. We use washable satin paints that stand up to cooking and family life. These paints create a smooth look between your kitchen and dining space.
Bedrooms
Bedrooms often have high ceilings and large windows. This affects how light plays on your walls. We choose paint finishes that work with your room's natural light. We also work carefully around built-in storage and old fireplaces. These areas need special preparation to make sure the paint sticks properly.
Bathrooms
Many local bathrooms have limited airflow. This can cause moisture problems. We use special anti-mold paints and moisture-resistant primers to protect your walls. These products help your bathroom stay fresh and dry.
Wall Types
New Longton has both old and new homes. Older homes often have lath and plaster walls with small cracks. Newer homes usually have modern drywall. Both types need different preparation methods. We know how to handle each type of wall properly.
Ceilings
Local ceilings often have decorative features like center roses. We often deal with water stains from Lancashire's wet weather. We use special stain-blocking primers before painting. This ensures a perfect finish that lasts.
Woodwork
Many local homes have original Victorian or Edwardian wooden features. These include skirting boards and door frames. We carefully prepare and paint these features. This preserves their character while making them more durable.
Climate Considerations
Lancashire's weather affects paint choices. We use breathable paints that work well with local building materials. This helps prevent moisture problems in older homes. It also keeps your walls properly ventilated.
Original Features
We take extra care with traditional features like picture rails and dado rails. These need special techniques for clean lines and good coverage. We make sure to protect and highlight these beautiful details.
Modern Homes
For newer properties, we create contemporary looks while respecting New Longton's traditional style. We carefully plan color changes between rooms. We also consider how natural light affects different areas of your home.
Surface Preparation
Every home is different. We work on old paintwork in period homes and fresh plaster in new extensions. We know which techniques and products work best for each surface. This ensures a lasting, professional finish.

Exterior Painting
New Longton homes need special care when it comes to exterior painting. Our area has lots of Victorian terraces and 1930s semi-detached houses. The wet Northwest England weather means we need to be extra careful about how we paint these homes.
Working with Local Buildings
Many houses have pebbledash or brick surfaces that need special treatment. Victorian homes have detailed stonework that requires breathable paint. This lets moisture move freely and protects the walls. Newer homes with smooth walls need flexible paints that won't crack when the weather changes.
Beating the Weather
New Longton gets a lot of rain, so we need tough paint that lasts. We often use Dulux Weathershield or Sandtex because they work well in our damp climate. These paints fight off mould and protect your home between rainy days.
Choosing the Right Colours
Many local homeowners pick colours that match our area's traditional look. Light greys and creams are popular for house walls. Victorian homes often have front doors in deep green or navy blue.
Different Surfaces Need Different Care
Each surface needs its own special treatment:
- Brick walls need paint that lets them breathe
- Pebbledash needs thick paint for good coverage
- Wooden parts need extra protection from rain
- Smooth walls need paint that keeps water out
We understand how to protect New Longton homes from our challenging weather. The right paint doesn't just make your house look good - it keeps it safe from damage too.

Living Room Colours
Living rooms often feature warm, neutral colours. Farrow & Ball's 'Skimming Stone' is very popular here. It creates a welcoming feel that suits any home style. Crown's 'Dusted Heather' is another favourite. This colour changes beautifully as natural light shifts throughout the day.
Kitchen Colours
In local kitchens, people choose colours that are both practical and beautiful. Dulux's 'Willow Tree' is a top pick for cabinets. It brings a fresh, natural look that fits our village setting perfectly. For kitchen walls, 'Denim Drift' is popular. It creates a smooth transition between cooking and eating areas.
Bedroom Colours
Bedroom colours in New Longton tend to be calm and heritage-inspired. Farrow & Ball's 'Oval Room Blue' is especially loved in rooms with high ceilings and big windows. It creates a peaceful space that changes gently with the daylight.
Exterior Colours
For house exteriors, especially on our red-brick and pebbledash homes, Dulux Weathershield's 'Gardenia' is a common choice. It creates a bright, traditional look that adds kerb appeal while keeping the village's historic feel. Front doors make a statement with bold heritage colours. Popular choices include Farrow & Ball's 'Hague Blue' or 'Calke Green'. These add character while respecting local traditions.
These colour choices show how New Longton balances country charm with modern living. They help create homes that are both stylish and practical for our Lancashire setting. If you're looking to enhance your home with these beautiful colours, consider exploring your options today!

Local Experts
Weather Challenges
New Longton's weather creates special challenges for homeowners. Cold winters with temperatures down to 2°C and high humidity levels of 80% mean we need to use moisture-resistant paints. We're experts in using microporous paint systems. These work perfectly for the 1950s and 1960s semi-detached houses that make up nearly half of local homes.
Exterior Durability
The village sits high up and gets hit by strong westerly winds. This means exterior paint needs to be extra tough. We've mastered special ways to treat pebbledash surfaces, which are common on New Longton's between-war homes. Our methods ensure paint sticks well and lasts long, even in harsh weather.
Family-Friendly Solutions
More young families are moving to New Longton, with a 15% rise since 2015. We offer child-friendly, low-VOC paints that stay strong in busy areas of the home. We're also very experienced with newer homes around Gill Lane. These modern surfaces need different painting approaches than older buildings.
Rural Considerations
Being close to farmland brings unique problems. Organic matter and pollen can damage exterior paint. We use special anti-fungal treatments and regular maintenance to protect homes from these rural issues.
Conservation Expertise
We're experts in conservation areas. Many homes here have original Victorian features that need careful restoration. We know local planning rules well. This helps us preserve the village's historic look while using modern painting methods.
Local Knowledge
Being local means we know every street and house type in New Longton. From old cottages in the village center to modern homes on the edges, we understand each property's needs. We can offer specific solutions based on where your home is and how it's built.
