How much does period property decorating cost?
It depends on the level of detail and the condition of original features. Share a few photos of the rooms over WhatsApp and we'll work up a free fixed quote for you.
Why can't you use normal modern paint on my Victorian walls?
Standard sealed emulsions can trap moisture in lime plaster and older masonry, leading to blistering and damp problems. We use breathable paints designed for older buildings instead.
Can you match a heritage colour for a listed building?
Yes — we work with heritage and conservation-approved paint ranges and can match specific shades where planning or listed building consent requires them.
Do you cover the rest of City of London?
Yes — Portsoken is part of our coverage across the City of London, alongside Aldgate, Tower, Tower Hill, Fenchurch Street. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.

Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Portsoken businesses and busy households alike.
