Full Home Renovation Decoration

Period properties across Heavitree and St Leonards undergoing full renovation require decoration that works around other trades.

Full Interior Renovation

A full interior renovation brings together every decorating element. We are experienced in working alongside other trades including plasterers, joiners, and kitchen fitters.

Kitchen and Bathroom

Kitchen and bathroom redecoration during a renovation is more complex than a straightforward repaint. We apply the correct sealing coat to new plaster before any finish coat.

Pre-Sale Refurbishment

Pre-sale refurbishment is one of the most time-sensitive types of renovation decoration. Period properties in Heavitree and Topsham benefit from period-sympathetic colours and finishes.

Extensions, Lofts and Period Restoration

Extensions and loft conversions require different treatment to existing walls.

Extension and Loft Conversion

New plaster must be sealed and allowed to cure before any finish paint is applied. We handle the full decoration sequence for new extensions and blend with existing rooms.

Period Property Restoration

Original lime plaster must be treated with breathable, water-based finishes. Original cornicing and ceiling roses require hand-brush work and careful preparation.

Home Renovation Costs

Home renovation decoration ranges from around £2,500 for a focused kitchen and bathroom refurbishment to £9,000 or more for a full period property restoration. Call 01392 321669 for a precise quote.

Our Process

Survey and Programme Review

We visit the property, review the renovation scope and timeline, and provide a fixed written quote that integrates with your programme.

New Plaster Treatment

Sealing coat application to fresh plaster throughout. No finish coats are applied until plaster has cured correctly.

First Fix Decoration

Ceilings and walls are decorated before final joinery, flooring, and fixtures are installed where the programme allows.

Second Fix Decoration

Final walls, woodwork, and trim are completed after joinery and before flooring where possible.

Snagging and Handover

Final check of all surfaces in good light. Any areas affected by subsequent trades are touched up before handover.

Home Renovation FAQs

Can you coordinate with other trades during a full renovation of my Heavitree Victorian terrace?

Yes. We are experienced in working within live renovation programmes and understand how to sequence our work around plasterers, joiners, electricians, and kitchen fitters.

When should decoration start in a renovation project?

The sequence depends on the scope of the renovation. Decoration starts after plastering is complete and the plaster has had sufficient time to dry.

How do you handle new plaster in an extension or loft conversion?

New plaster requires a diluted sealing coat applied first. We never apply standard emulsion direct to new plaster.

Can you restore original cornicing and plasterwork during a renovation in Heavitree?

We decorate and preserve original plasterwork as part of our renovation decoration service. We do not carry out plaster repair as a specialist conservation trade.

Do you use breathable paint systems on period walls in Topsham and St Leonards?

Yes, always. Original lime plaster and lime render in Exeter’s period housing stock must be treated with breathable, water-based finishes.

Can you include wallpapering as part of a renovation project?

Yes. Many renovation projects include a mix of painted and papered rooms. We handle wallpapering as part of the same project.

How long does full renovation decoration take in a Heavitree three-bedroom terrace?

A full interior renovation decoration typically takes two to three weeks, depending on the preparation required and how many phases the programme allows.
