Exterior painting in Kensington.
With exterior painting in Kensington in Kensington, it comes down to three things: honest preparation, quality materials and a price that doesn't move. We put all three in writing before a single tin is opened.
Start with photos: snap the rooms or walls, send them on WhatsApp with rough sizes, and we'll reply with a fixed quote for your Kensington project — no site-visit delays, no obligation.
Finishes matched to every surface.
Sheen, durability, washability — the right finish depends on the room. Here's the quick guide we use when speccing your Kensington project.
Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your Kensington project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

When is the best time of year for exterior painting?
Late spring to early autumn — surfaces need to be dry and above roughly 10°C for paint to cure properly. We'll schedule around the forecast and tell you honestly if your job should wait.
How long does exterior paint last?
With proper prep and quality masonry paint, expect 5–15 years depending on exposure. Poor prep is why cheap jobs peel in a year — it's the part we refuse to skip.
Do you paint the whole outside of a house?
Yes — render, brick, pebbledash, cladding, windowsills, fascias, soffits, gutters and doors. We'll quote each element clearly so you choose what's included.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Kensington?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Kensington businesses and busy households alike.
Which parts of Kensington do you cover?
All of it — Kensington (W8) is fully inside our patch, along with Holland Park, Holland, Kensington Olympia, Campden. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
How soon can you start in Kensington?
Smaller Kensington jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
