Interior Painting
Living Rooms
Many living rooms have high ceilings and fancy plaster details. We take extra care with these features. We use special equipment like scaffolding to reach high spots safely. This helps us do a perfect job on tall walls and decorative edges.
Kitchens
Kitchens need special paint because of Lancashire's damp weather. We use paints that stop mold from growing. This is really important in older homes that might get damp. We also make sure there's good airflow while we work.
Bedrooms
Many bedrooms have chimney breasts and alcoves. These special features need careful painting. We use special techniques to make these stand out while matching the rest of the room.
Hallways and Stairs
Local homes often have narrow hallways. We use paint that:
- Reflects light well
- Stands up to daily wear and tear
- Works well on wooden railings and spindles
How We Work with Different Walls
Local homes usually have two main types of walls:
Old Plaster Walls
Many older homes have traditional plaster walls. These need:
- Careful preparation to fix cracks
- Special primers that let the walls breathe
- Gentle techniques to keep the original look
Modern Drywall
Newer homes have drywall. This needs:
- Smooth preparation of joints
- The right primers for even coverage
- Special methods for a perfect finish
Special Features of Local Homes
Our town's history shows in its homes:
- Many have exposed brick from old mills
- Victorian homes have detailed ceiling decorations
- Old mills turned into homes need special care
We know how to:
- Use the right products on brick walls
- Paint detailed features carefully
- Keep the historical look while protecting surfaces
We understand what makes Accrington homes special. Our painting keeps their charm while making them look fresh and modern. Contact us today to discuss how we can transform your home!
Exterior Painting
Accrington is known for its beautiful Victorian terraced houses and Edwardian homes. Many of these buildings feature the famous "Accrington Nori" bricks that helped build the British Empire. Our Lancashire weather brings plenty of rain and changing temperatures. This means we need smart painting solutions to protect these special buildings.
Weather Challenges
Our local weather has a big impact on exterior paint. We get lots of rain throughout the year, so we use special water-resistant paints. The temperature changes between seasons can make paint crack. That's why we use flexible paints that can handle these changes. For brick walls, we use breathable masonry paints. For rendered walls, we choose elastic acrylic paints.
Choosing the Right Materials
Different houses need different painting approaches:
- Historic brick walls need paints that let moisture escape
- Rendered walls must be prepared carefully to stop cracks
- Wooden features need special primers and oil-based paints
- Stone details need weather-proof paints that can breathe
Our Step-by-Step Process
We follow these careful steps for every project:
- Check and clean all surfaces
- Fix any damage
- Apply the right primers
- Put on several coats of paint
- Finish details and clean up
We protect your garden, decorative features, and nearby surfaces with professional covers and careful masking.
Protecting Your Home
We know you want your paint to last in our weather. We use high-quality paints that resist weather damage. We plan our work around good weather conditions. This helps the paint stick better and last longer. Our careful preparation ensures the best results.
Local Knowledge
We understand how different parts of Accrington have different needs. Whether you live near Peel Park or in Baxenden, we know how local weather affects paint. We choose colors that match our local traditional look while giving modern protection.
Long-Lasting Results
A professional paint job does more than make your home look good. It protects against our Lancashire weather while keeping your home's character. With our preparation and quality materials, your home will look fresh for years. This helps maintain your property's value and makes it look great in any season.
Facades & Frontage
In Accrington, homes are known for their special features like stonework, columns, and porch pillars. Our team knows exactly how to care for each type of material. First, we use special paints that let the walls breathe while keeping moisture out. This is vital for protecting stone and brick details. Next, we give extra attention to porch pillars and trim. We start by sanding them thoroughly, then apply special primers. Finally, we select tough paints that stand up to rain and changing weather. This careful process prevents rot and peeling, keeping your home looking great for years.
Windowsills & Doors
Every home has different types of windowsills - wood, vinyl, or metal. Each material needs its own special treatment. When working with wooden sills, we start by sanding them smooth. Next, we apply primers that block water, then finish with high-quality outdoor paint or varnish. For vinyl and metal sills, we begin by removing all grease. Then we gently rough up the surface if needed. Last, we apply special paints that stick well and last long.
The front door is the most used part of your home's exterior. It faces all kinds of weather and daily use. That's why we start by filling any small cracks. Then we apply primers that match your door's material. Finally, we use special paints or stains made just for front doors. These paints can bend with weather changes and resist scuffs. This creates a welcoming entrance that stays beautiful through years of use.
Other Exterior Details
Your home's gutters, railings, and shutters play a big role in both looks and protection. We start by thoroughly cleaning these areas and removing loose paint. Then we apply the right primers - rust-stopping ones for metal and weather-blocking ones for wood. Finally, we use top-quality outdoor paint to seal everything. This careful process keeps moisture out and prevents damage. Every part of your house stays protected against Lancashire's tough weather.
Our detailed approach helps your home stay beautiful and strong. We take extra care in preparation and use only the best paints. This gives your home complete protection from water, weather changes, and daily wear. The result? A lasting finish that keeps your home looking great in all seasons.

Victorian Terraces
In Victorian terraces, heritage colours are a favourite choice. Many people choose Farrow & Ball's "Cornforth White" for their living rooms. This soft grey shade makes period features stand out while keeping rooms bright and welcoming. It works especially well with the high ceilings and detailed cornices found in Accrington's older homes.
Stone Cottages
Stone cottage owners often pick earthy colours. Sage Green and warm terracotta are becoming more popular. These natural shades match perfectly with Lancashire's countryside views. They help create a smooth flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Modern Homes
Modern homes and converted mills are going for bolder colours. Deep greens and navy blues are popular for feature walls, especially in sunny rooms. These striking choices show how confident local homeowners are becoming with their decoration.
Outside Walls
For outside walls, light stone colours are still a classic pick. These shades look great next to the famous Accrington NORI brick. Front doors are often painted in traditional colours like slate grey or duck egg blue. This helps keep the area's historic look while adding personal style.
Mill Conversions
Mill conversion owners are loving the industrial-chic style. They often pair exposed brick walls with neutral taupe and grey paint colours. This modern approach celebrates Accrington's industrial past while creating stylish living spaces.

Additional Services
Handling Period Homes
We know how to handle Accrington's period homes, especially Victorian and Edwardian terraces. We use breathable lime-based paints that let old walls manage moisture naturally. This stops common problems like peeling paint and damp patches.
Protecting Outdoor Woodwork
Our wet climate can damage outdoor woodwork. We protect fences, sheds, and decking with high-quality weatherproof finishes. These are chosen specially to handle Lancashire's frequent rain and changing temperatures.
Mastering Textured Surfaces
Many local homes have pebbledash exteriors. We've mastered the use of textured masonry coatings for these surfaces. Our methods ensure the paint sticks well and lasts long, even in harsh weather.
Addressing Damp Issues
Damp is a big worry for local homeowners. We apply special anti-damp primers and mould-resistant coatings. These work great in bathrooms and poorly ventilated areas. They protect your walls and keep your home healthier.

Local Experts
Local Expertise
We know Lancashire's houses inside and out. We understand how our local weather affects different paints and methods. This knowledge is crucial because Accrington gets about 1,150mm of rain each year! We've developed special techniques to make sure exterior paint sticks well in these wet conditions.
Weather Considerations
We plan outdoor work carefully around the weather. The best time for exterior painting is between May and September. During these months, the humidity is just right for paint to dry properly.
Historic Homes
Most homes in Accrington (over 70%) were built before 1919. We're experts at working with the special features of these older houses. We know exactly how to treat the famous local "NORI" bricks. These unique bricks need specific preparation and breathable paints to keep them in good condition.
Geographical Challenges
Accrington sits in the Pennine hills, between 133m and 320m above sea level. Houses at higher levels face stronger winds and more rain. We use extra-strong weather-proof coatings to protect these homes.
Services for Seniors
Many of our customers (35%) are over 55 years old. We offer services that cause less disruption and need less upkeep. When working in older residents' homes, we take extra care to keep dust down and work safely.
Understanding the Community
We know every area of Accrington well, from Baxenden to Huncoat. Each area has its own mix of Victorian terraces and newer homes. We understand how the town's industrial past affects its buildings. This helps us choose the right approach for each type of property.
