Canterbury’s Full House Painters
Full Interior Repaint
A full interior repaint across a Canterbury period property means managing surface variability from room to room. Lime plaster in a Georgian townhouse needs a breathable primer. High cornicing in a Victorian reception room needs masking and careful cutting-in.
We work room by room in a sequence that keeps the property liveable. See our interior painting page for full detail on what the interior scope covers.
Exterior Walls and Woodwork
The exterior scope on a full house project covers masonry walls, all external timber, sash windows, fascias, soffits, front door, and outbuildings. For Canterbury city properties, heritage masonry requires breathable systems.
We assess render and surface condition on site before quoting. See our exterior painting page for full detail on specification.
Combined Interior and Exterior
Running interior and exterior work on the same property in the same period is the most efficient approach. One project manager coordinates both. One quote covers both. You confirm colour choices and approve the schedule.
Period and Coastal Specialists
Victorian and Georgian Period Properties
Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses, and listed properties in St Dunstans and Westgate all need a level of preparation not every decorator applies. Lime plaster sections, original sash windows, cornicing, dado rails, and original joinery all need different treatment.
Coastal Properties in Whitstable and Herne Bay
A full house repaint on a Whitstable beach house or a Herne Bay seafront semi has a different exterior specification to an inland property. Marine-grade primers, high-flexibility exterior masonry coatings, and exterior-grade oil primers on all timber are the correct approach.
Pre-Sale Preparation
Canterbury and Whitstable property values make pre-sale decorating a clear financial decision. A Victorian terrace in Wincheap or a Whitstable beach house needs to present well to compete at its price point. We can work to a completion date.
Our House Painting Process
1. Site Visit and Full Scope
We walk the entire property: every room, all exterior elevations, and any outbuildings. You receive a written quote with a room-by-room breakdown.
2. Preparation
Surfaces are cleaned, repaired, and primed. Original features are masked. Lime plaster sections receive breathable primers.
3. Phased Room Sequencing
We complete rooms in a sequence that keeps the property liveable. Exterior preparation typically runs concurrent with upper-floor interior work.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats on all interior surfaces. Exterior receives two coats as standard. Coastal and exposed exterior surfaces receive three.
5. Final Inspection
Every room and every exterior surface is inspected in good light. Touch-ups are done. We walk through with you before leaving.

House Painting Costs in Canterbury
A full interior and exterior house repaint in Canterbury typically costs between £4,500 and £12,000 depending on property size, condition, and specification.
Property Size and Type
A three-bedroom Victorian terrace in Sturry is a different scope from a larger Georgian townhouse in St Dunstans with period plasterwork, high ceilings, and original sash windows.
Condition
A property with maintained plaster, sound render, and good timber costs less to prepare than one with failing surfaces throughout. We assess condition at the site visit and quote accordingly.
Specification
Coastal properties need marine-grade exterior products. Heritage properties need breathable systems. Both cost more per litre than standard trade products. Call 01227 200884 to arrange a site visit and written quote.
