Interior Painting
Plungington living rooms often have bay windows and period fireplaces. These need careful painting around their detailed features. We use mid-sheen paints that are tough enough for family life while keeping the room's classic look.
Kitchens
Kitchens need special care, especially in older homes where moisture is an issue. We use kitchen-specific paints that handle steam and regular cleaning well. This works great for both traditional galley kitchens and modern updates.
Bedrooms
Local bedrooms usually have decorative cornicing and picture rails. These need precise painting skills. Many homeowners want feature walls, and we carefully blend bold new designs with the room's period features.
Local Housing Characteristics
Most local homes are Victorian or Edwardian terraces. They have lath and plaster walls that need special prep work. Many still have their original plasterwork, which needs careful repair and the right primers.
The walls in these homes can be mixed:
- Exposed brick
- Old plaster
- Modern drywall in updated areas
Each surface needs its own approach and materials.
Professional Techniques & Materials
We use different methods to get the best results:
- Fine brushes for detailed edges and period features
- Special rollers for textured walls
- Spray painting for smooth, modern areas
Water-based paints work really well here. They cover well and let walls breathe, which helps manage moisture in older homes.
Surface Preparation & Process
Before painting, we always:
- Check the plaster's condition
- Fix any cracks or damage
- Clean and degrease surfaces
- Use the right primers for each surface
We take extra care to protect:
- Original features
- Period details
- Victorian tiles
- Wooden floors
This careful approach gives long-lasting results while keeping the special character of local homes.

Exterior Painting
Plungington's homes are mostly Victorian terraces and Edwardian semi-detached houses. Each has its own painting needs. The area gets lots of rain and has high humidity. This means homes near Moor Park need special care when being painted. We know exactly how to handle these local conditions.
Climate-Conscious Paint Solutions
We choose paints that work well in damp weather. Our masonry paints let brick walls breathe properly. For rendered walls, we use flexible acrylic coatings that won't crack when temperatures change. Victorian homes often have detailed wooden trim. For these, we use Dulux Weathershield. It keeps moisture out and protects the fine details.
Heritage-Sensitive Approaches
We respect Plungington's historical character when painting. Many homeowners like traditional colors that match their home's age. Muted sage greens and warm creams are popular choices. We take extra care with original features like sash windows and decorative cornices. These need gentle hand-painting to preserve their beauty.
Surface Preparation Strategies
Our preparation process is thorough and tackles local weather challenges:
- Power washing to remove built-up dirt
- Extra drying time because of the humidity
- Anti-fungal treatments for shaded walls
- Special primers for old Victorian bricks
This careful prep work helps your paint job last longer.
Natural Protection
A good paint job does more than make your home look nice. It shields your house from rain and damp. Our paints protect while letting your home's walls breathe naturally. This is especially important for older homes that were built with traditional materials.
We combine local experience with the right materials and proven methods. This keeps local homes looking beautiful and well-protected, whatever the weather brings. Contact us today to discuss how we can help transform your home!

Interior Color Trends
Inside, many homeowners blend warm heritage colors with modern styles. A popular mix is using soft neutral colors with bold jewel tones. Many choose cream or taupe walls with deep green or navy blue feature walls. These colors work great with the natural light from bay windows and highlight period features like fireplaces.
Kitchen Color Choices
Kitchens are trending towards natural, calming colors. Sage Green and Duck Egg Blue are common choices. These colors work in both updated and traditional kitchens. They make Plungington's typical galley kitchens feel bigger and connect well with garden views.
Bedroom Color Palettes
Bedrooms often mix colors that show off period features while staying peaceful. Light purples and soft blues are popular. Some choose darker colors like charcoal or midnight blue. These create cozy spaces that highlight original details like cornicing and picture rails.
Exterior Color Preferences
Outside, especially on Victorian terraces, people pick colors that match the area's history. Front doors often stand out in traditional Olive Green or Oxford Blue. These colors look striking against the red brick and keep the street's historic charm.
Popular Earth Tones
Earth tones are also very popular inside. Colors like Terracotta and Warm Mustard are common in living rooms. These work well in homes that mix old and new styles. They're perfect for houses that have been updated while keeping their original features.
Consider these color trends for your home to create a beautiful and harmonious living space.
Additional Services
Weather Challenges
The local maritime climate brings challenges. High rainfall and humidity can damage exterior paintwork. We use special techniques to protect outdoor structures, especially wooden fences and garden features. Our weatherproof coatings are chosen to handle local conditions. This helps prevent common problems like peeling and flaking paint.
Heritage Restoration
We excel at heritage restoration for period properties in Plungington. We know that period features need careful handling and expert knowledge. We use both traditional methods and modern materials. This helps us restore decorative plasterwork and intricate woodwork to a beautiful finish that lasts.

Local Experts
Local Architecture and Challenges
We often work on the red brick Victorian terraces along Plungington Road and Ripon Street. These homes were built between 1890-1910. They need special care because of their lime mortar construction and tendency to develop damp problems, especially during Preston's many rainy days.
Student Rentals
About 40% of local houses are student rentals, and we know exactly how to handle them. We use tough paint that can handle heavy use while meeting all of Preston City Council's HMO rules.
Weather Considerations
The weather here greatly affects our work. Our area gets lots of rain and humidity from the Irish Sea. That's why we choose special moisture-resistant paints to protect homes. For houses near Moor Park that get less sun, we use anti-fungal treatments before painting to stop damp problems.
Working with Landlords
Being close to UCLan means we work with many landlords getting houses ready for students. We can work quickly between tenants while keeping our high standards. Our tough finishes look good and last through multiple student tenancies.
Preserving Victorian Features
Many local homes still have their original Victorian features like ceiling roses. We carefully hand-paint these details to protect them while giving the house a fresh look. We know how to blend modern paints with old-style features.
Specialized Treatment for Local Materials
The local building materials need special treatment. Preston's brick needs specific preparation, and many houses have old lath and plaster walls. We use breathable paints that work well with these materials, stopping moisture from getting trapped.
Strong Supplier Relationships
We've built strong relationships with local suppliers over the years. They understand what works best in Plungington. This helps us get the right materials at good prices for our customers.
