Exterior painting costs across Hampstead, West Hampstead, Highgate, and St John’s Wood vary more with access and repairs than with postcode prestige alone. A tidy front elevation on a terrace is a different job from a multi-storey villa with soft timber and hollow render.
Guide ranges (after survey)
- Front elevation / joinery package: often £2,500–£5,000
- Full house exterior (typical terrace/semi): often £3,500–£10,000
- Detached, multi-storey or heritage facade: £8,000–£22,000
What moves the price
Storey height, scaffold design, masonry repairs, sash condition, and weather windows drive cost more than square metres. Quotes that skip repairs are not cheaper — they are incomplete.
Area notes
Heath-edge and Highgate elevated homes often need tougher systems. Hampstead Village and Regent’s Park edges may need breathable heritage coatings. West Hampstead terraces often need honest bay-window timber work.
