About Fulham
Fulham has transformed over the past two decades from a relatively modest residential area into one of London's most sought-after family neighbourhoods, and its painting and decorating needs reflect this evolution. The Victorian terraces that dominate the area — long, handsome streets of two and three-storey houses stretching from Parsons Green to Fulham Broadway and down to the river — are the workhorses of the London housing market, and their owners invest significantly in interior decoration to create the open-plan, light-filled family homes that the area is now known for. Munster Road, Settrington Road, and Hurlingham Road exemplify the Fulham terrace at its best: bay-windowed, well-proportioned houses with manageable gardens and period details that respond beautifully to thoughtful redecoration. The area south of New King's Road towards the river contains the grander properties — the detached and semi-detached houses of Hurlingham, where membership of the Hurlingham Club defines the social geography. Our work in Fulham is often more contemporary in character than in our conservation area locations: clients here favour clean, modern palettes — Farrow & Ball's Wimborne White, Skimming Stone, and Strong White are perennial favourites — applied throughout open-plan kitchen-diners, loft conversions, and newly excavated basements. The volume of property renovation in Fulham means we work alongside building contractors, kitchen fitters, and interior designers as part of larger refurbishment projects.
Our Coving & Cornice Approach
Cornice installation demands precision. We begin by assessing the existing ceiling line and wall surfaces, noting any irregularities that must be accommodated during fitting. For restoration work, we take moulds or detailed measurements of surviving original profiles and commission bespoke runs from our fibrous plaster partners. New installations are carefully marked out, adhesive-fixed, and mechanically secured where required. Every joint is filled, caulked, and sanded so that the finished cornice reads as a continuous, unbroken line around the room. We understand that in older properties, true right angles are rare — our installers have the skill to scribe and adjust profiles to follow the actual geometry of the room rather than fighting against it. Once installed, the cornice is primed and painted as part of the wider decorating scheme. Beyond standard decoration, our local expertise in Fulham includes comprehensive plaster cornice profiles, specialist ceiling rose installation, and full-service period plasterwork. We are recognized throughout the Hammersmith & Fulham area for our meticulous approach to coving installation London, ensuring every project meets the uncompromising standards expected by our clients.

Properties in Fulham
Fulham's property market is dominated by the Victorian terrace, ranging from modest two-bedroom cottages on streets like Reporton Road and Musgrave Crescent to substantial five-bedroom family houses on Ellerby Street and Rannoch Road. The classic Fulham terrace features a bay-windowed reception room, a narrower dining room behind, and a kitchen extension leading to a garden. Upper floors typically have three or four bedrooms with original fireplaces and cornicing. Many have been extended into the loft and excavated into the basement, creating up to five floors of living space. The Hurlingham area south of New King's Road offers larger, more individual properties — Edwardian houses with wider frontages, deeper gardens, and distinctive red-brick detailing. Along Wandsworth Bridge Road and Fulham Palace Road, the character is more commercial, with flats above shops and some modern developments. The riverside around Fulham Reach and Imperial Wharf has seen extensive new-build apartment development, introducing contemporary painting requirements — spray finishes, feature walls, and high-specification joinery work.
