London area brief
Painting & decorating in Kensington
Whole-room schemes and retained architectural features.
A brief for your Kensington property
A Kensington decorating brief benefits from a complete surface list, particularly where walls, ceilings and detailed joinery meet. Note any plaster repairs separately from repainting. If new flooring, fitted furniture or electrical work is also planned, explain the sequence so that protection and final finishing can be considered together.
Useful details to include
- Which repairs precede decoration?
- Are other trades still working?
- Do ceilings and mouldings form part of the scope?
For listed buildings and conservation areas, check the proposed work before starting. See Historic England’s advice on redecoration.
