Painting & Decorating in Greenwich: What to Expect

Greenwich (SE10 and SE3) is unique among London's decorating markets in that it spans both some of the capital's most historic architecture and some of its newest development. The World Heritage Site designation covering the Old Royal Naval College, the Park, and the hilltop observatories area means that exterior works to many properties in and around Greenwich town centre are subject to conservation area controls. A decorator working on exterior painting in SE10 town centre should be familiar with the Royal Borough of Greenwich's guidelines on approved colours and paint types for listed and locally listed buildings.

Beyond the heritage core, Greenwich borough includes a wide range of property types — Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Blackheath and Charlton, 1930s housing in Eltham, and substantial new-build development around Woolwich Arsenal and Greenwich Peninsula near the Crossrail station. New-build decoration requires a different approach from period work: plasterboard walls need mist-coating with diluted emulsion before topcoats, rather than the stabilising primers often required on old lime plaster. A decorator experienced across both property types will be able to advise correctly on the right preparation for each.
