London area brief
Painting & decorating in Islington
Room sequencing, joinery and retained plasterwork.
A brief for your Islington property
For an Islington property, describe how the rooms connect and whether the scope includes stairs or lower-ground spaces. Record original features that should be retained and any recent alterations. If the work is phased, a single colour and finish schedule can help keep the separate stages consistent.
Useful details to include
- Will decoration take place in stages?
- Which original features are to remain?
- Does the scope include stairs or lower-ground rooms?
For listed buildings and conservation areas, check the proposed work before starting. See Historic England’s advice on redecoration.
