Walls to woodwork, kitchens to fences — one team for every painted surface in Dalston.
Kitchens and cabinets
Sprayed factory-smooth finishes that transform kitchens without replacing them.

See prices guidePeriod Property Decorating in Dalston — FAQs.
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.
Are you local to Dalston?
Yes — we're a local team covering Dalston (E8) and the surrounding area, including Dalston Junction, De Beauvoir Town, Haggerston, De Beauvoir. That means a nearby crew, fast quotes and flexible dates with no travel premium.
How soon can you start in Dalston?
Smaller Dalston jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
Do you cover the rest of Hackney?
Yes — Dalston is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Hackney, alongside Dalston Junction, De Beauvoir Town, Haggerston, De Beauvoir. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
