Hand-finished interior and exterior painting and decorating across SW3 / SW10. Sash-window restoration, full redecoration, period-sympathetic finishes for Victorian and Georgian terraces, mews houses, Edwardian mansion blocks, period apartments.
The housing stock between Sloane Square and World’s End is unusually consistent: Victorian and Georgian terraces, intimate mews properties, and the mansion blocks that line Cheyne Walk and the Embankment. None of them were designed around a contemporary decoration, and none of them respond well to a decoration designed for somewhere else.
The brief in Chelsea is almost always the same in shape, even if the materials differ. Strip back to sound surfaces, lining paper where the plaster demands it, finish in premium paints specified to suit the period and the room’s light, with sash-window restoration and exterior touch-ups as required.
This is the work we do. We prepare surfaces properly, prime correctly, and finish by hand to a level you cannot reproduce with a roller. The painters are trusted members of our crew, not a sub-contracted team brought in for the day.
Every painting and decorating project we deliver in Chelsea is end-to-end. One team. One point of contact. One standard.
Fillers, sanding, prep coats, mould treatment, lining paper where needed. The work that decides whether a finish lasts five years or fifteen.
Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Paint & Paper Library, Edward Bulmer. Specified to suit the room’s light, the finish you want, and the rest of the house.
Cut-in by hand, not masked. Crisp lines at cornicing, skirting, panelling and door frames. The visible quality difference.
Sash window restoration, panelling repair, door refurbishment, hand-stripping where the building demands it.
Stucco, render, sash window exteriors and front doors, prepared and finished to specification with appropriate masonry, wood and metal paints.
Walk-through with you before sign-off. Touch-ups handled on the spot, no return visits needed.
A decoration in a Chelsea Victorian terrace is not the same brief as a decoration in a new-build apartment. The variables that matter are different, the constraints are different, and the assumptions that work elsewhere fail here.
We have refurbished decoration projects across Chelsea for long enough to know what those variables are, where the planning friction lives, and how to design around the constraints rather than fight them. Original ceiling heights, narrow stair access, mews delivery windows, party-wall sensitivities, freeholder rules in mansion blocks — all of it is factored in at quote stage, not discovered mid-project.
Real reviews from ProCraft clients in Surrey and Windsor. Further verified reviews available on request.
I’ve hired Igor to do the flooring in my kitchen and I can assure this has been one of the best decisions I made. My kitchen now looks immaculate and I couldn’t be happier with ProCraft’s services. Fast, reliable and delivers quality to your needs. Very well recommended.
We needed help with repairs after a water leak. Igor came back to me quickly with a quote and completed the job that weekend. Would highly recommend.
Many of our Chelsea clients commission us for the surrounding work too — kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, complete refurbishment. Each can be delivered alone or as part of a single programme.
If you are just outside Chelsea, we almost certainly cover you for decoration. Explore our adjacent area pages.
