House Painting Services
Every surface inside and out is handled as one coordinated project.
Full Interior Repaint
A complete interior refresh starts with colour selection across all rooms. Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms are planned as a coordinated scheme from the outset.
Different preparation and primer systems are applied room by room depending on surface conditions and the type of finish required. Period properties get breathable primers on lime plaster. New builds get sealing coats on plasterboard. See our interior painting page for details.
Exterior Walls and Woodwork
The exterior includes masonry preparation, render repair where needed, and timber stripping and priming. Durable coatings suited to south and west-facing exposures are applied.
We coordinate exterior work with interior scheduling so weather windows don’t stall the whole project. See our exterior painting page for technical detail on masonry coatings and timber preparation.
Coordinated Schedule
Managing interior and exterior work in a single project requires careful planning. Interior work proceeds room by room on the ground floor while exterior work happens in fine weather.
Once the exterior is weather-tight, we move interior work to the upper floors. This keeps the property as usable as possible and avoids weeks of disruption spread across separate projects.
Period Properties
Victorian villas in Weybridge and Edwardian semis in Thames Ditton have original features that need specialist handling. Original sash windows, lime plaster walls, cornicing, and ceiling roses all require careful preparation and appropriate paint systems.
Your decorator assesses condition at the quotation stage and build a schedule that respects the property’s requirements.
Pre-Sale Preparation
A freshly decorated property presents well to buyers and can command a higher valuation. Homes are prepared for viewing with neutral colour schemes and attention to detail that influences buyer perception.
Pre-sale decoration typically takes two to three weeks, avoiding prolonged sale timelines.

House Painting Costs in Surrey
Prices below are estimates only. Every property is different. Call 01483 930151 for a precise quote.
What Drives the Price
A full interior and exterior repaint of a detached house typically costs between £8,000 and £18,000. Price depends on property size, surface condition, and finish choice.
Property Size
A large Oxshott detached on Crown Estate private roads needs more materials and labour than a 1930s semi in Walton-on-Thames. Bedroom count and room count are the primary drivers.
Surface Condition
Period properties with original lime plaster and multiple paint layers need more preparation time. Exterior render in poor condition adds cost.
Paint System
Standard trade paint is the most economical option. Heritage ranges such as Farrow and Ball add cost per room.
Trade insight: New owners buying a 1950s or 1960s large detached in Cobham or Esher often inherit a dated interior. Multiple layers of emulsion in clashing colours require a logical room sequence and primer on previously painted walls.
Typical Price Ranges
- Whole interior (four bedrooms, two reception rooms, hallway, staircase) in a 1960s Cobham detached on Between Streets: £7,500 to £12,500.
- Whole-house interior and exterior (large Esher detached on More Lane, 5 bedrooms, substantial exterior): £12,000 to £18,000+.
- Period property full repaint (Victorian villa, Weybridge, 5 bedrooms, original features, specialist finishes): £14,000 to £20,000+.

Here’s How It Works
1. Consultation and Colour Design
Your decorator visits and assesses all surfaces inside and out, discusses colour scheme options room by room, and provides a schedule showing which rooms will be occupied each day.
2. Interior Preparation
Ground floor rooms are prepared and primed. This includes fill, sand, wash down, and primer application. Period features are assessed and appropriate primers selected.
3. Exterior Work Begins
While interior prep continues, exterior surfaces are cleaned, assessed for repairs, and primed. Surrey’s weather is monitored to plan application windows.
4. Interior and Exterior Finish Coats
Interior painting proceeds room by room, starting with the ground floor. Exterior finish coats are applied as soon as conditions allow. The schedule keeps the house accessible.
5. Snagging and Final Walkthrough
Once all rooms are finished, we perform a final inspection and touch up any missed spots. A full walkthrough with you confirms the standard before we leave.
