Painters & Decorators in Newington Green N16: Historic Georgian Gems

Newington Green N16 contains a rare survival: a terrace of Grade I listed houses from 1658 on the west side of the Green. The surrounding streets also contain significant Georgian and early Victorian properties. Working here requires specialist knowledge of historic building fabric.

Breathable Paints for Historic Walls

For pre-Victorian properties, the use of modern vinyl paints can be disastrous, trapping moisture and causing damp. We use specialist breathable paints — often clay-based or limewash — for these historic walls. These materials have a unique, powdery aesthetic that looks incredible in a period setting, enhancing the age and character of the building.

Restoring Panelling and Shutters

Many Newington Green houses retain original internal shutters and panelling. We meticulously restore these — stripping back layers of gloss paint to reveal the sharp details of the wood, then repainting with a traditional oil eggshell or a high-quality water-based equivalent that flows out to a smooth finish.
