London area brief
Painting & decorating in Belgravia
Period interiors and carefully considered entrances.
A brief for your Belgravia property
For a Belgravia decorating brief, start with the features you want to retain: cornicing, shutters, panelled doors or an existing colour scheme. If a house has been divided into flats, distinguish your own rooms from shared entrances and external surfaces. A clear boundary between the areas to be decorated and those to be protected makes the quotation more useful.
Useful details to include
- Which period details should remain untouched?
- Does the brief include the front door or external joinery?
- Are there lease, estate or conservation requirements to check?
For listed buildings and conservation areas, check the proposed work before starting. See Historic England’s advice on redecoration.
