Sash Window Painting & Restoration by Hampstead Painting Company in Hampstead and North London

Sash Window Painting & Restoration

In Hampstead's conservation areas, uPVC replacement windows are often prohibited, making professional sash window restoration the only route to weathertight, beautiful timber frames. Our sash window specialists remove each sash completely, splice in new timber sections where rot has taken hold, replace broken cotton sash cords, rebalance lead pulleys and weights, and re-glaze with traditional linseed oil putty. We then apply specialist microporous gloss paints that flex with seasonal timber movement, eliminating the cracking and peeling common with standard oil-based gloss. Draught-proofing brush seals are installed discreetly within the frame rebates, dramatically improving energy efficiency without altering the original character of the window.

Key Features

  • Sash cord replacement
  • Timber rot repair and splicing
  • Microporous paint application
  • Draught-proofing brush seals
  • Lead putty and glazing repair
  • Conservation area compliant
  • All NW3 postcodes covered
  • Farrow & Ball exterior gloss available

Heritage & Breathable Coatings by Hampstead Painting Company in Hampstead and North London

Heritage & Breathable Coatings

Pre-1919 buildings were constructed with flexible lime mortar and should only be decorated with breathable, vapour-permeable coatings. Standard modern acrylic and vinyl paints trap moisture within solid walls, leading to blown plaster, structural timber decay, and rapid paint failure. Our heritage coating specialists are trained in the application of traditional breathable systems: limewash (calcium hydroxide mixed with natural pigments) for internal lime plaster and external masonry; casein distemper and soft distemper for decorative internal ceilings and cornicing; and Keim Granital mineral silicate paint for exterior facades. Keim, developed in Bavaria in 1878, works through silicification — the liquid potassium silicate binder penetrates masonry and forms a permanent covalent chemical bond, turning the paint to stone. The result is a vapour-permeable finish with extraordinary UV resistance that can last decades without fading.

Key Features

  • Limewash application (internal and external)
  • Casein and soft distemper
  • Keim mineral silicate paint
  • Earthborn Claypaint (EU Ecolabel, zero VOC)
  • Breathable masonry coatings
  • Listed building and conservation area compliant
  • Prevents moisture damage and blown plaster
  • Authentic period property aesthetics

Our Process

1

Moisture survey and substrate assessment

2

pH testing of existing plaster or masonry

3

Removal of any modern impermeable coatings (chemical stripping or steam)

4

Stabilisation of friable surfaces with Earthborn Wall Glaze or appropriate primer

5

Application of limewash in multiple thin wet coats (maintaining a wet edge)

6

Or application of Keim Granital primer followed by two finish coats

7

Final inspection in raking light to verify uniform coverage

Kitchen Cabinet Spraying & Hand Painting by Hampstead Painting Company in Hampstead and North London

Kitchen Cabinet Spraying & Hand Painting

A full luxury kitchen replacement in London now ranges from £15,000 to £50,000+. Professional kitchen cabinet respraying or artisan hand painting delivers a completely refreshed aesthetic for £1,000–£4,000, depending on size and methodology — roughly 10% of the cost of replacement with zero structural disruption. We offer two distinct methodologies. For contemporary kitchens with MDF and smooth shaker doors, we use high-velocity low-pressure (HVLP) spray technology: all doors and drawer fronts are removed, de-greased, sanded, and spray-painted in a dust-controlled environment to achieve a showroom-quality, perfectly flat factory finish with zero brush marks. For heritage, in-frame, and solid timber kitchens by makers such as Plain English, Mark Wilkinson, Tom Howley, or bespoke cabinet makers, we offer artisan hand painting using specialist furniture brushes and fine-filament rollers, preserving the subtle character and warmth that distinguishes a traditionally crafted kitchen.

Key Features

  • HVLP spray for factory-flat finish
  • Artisan hand painting for heritage cabinetry
  • Plain English, Tom Howley, Mark Wilkinson specialists
  • Full colour consultancy included
  • Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Mylands colour matching

Specialist Architectural Finishes by Hampstead Painting Company in Hampstead and North London

Specialist Architectural Finishes

The interior design expectations of Hampstead's luxury residential market frequently surpass the limitations of standard emulsion. Our specialist finishes team delivers bespoke, highly tactile surfaces that elevate architecture into art. Venetian plaster (polished plaster) is applied in multiple translucent layers of aged lime putty and fine marble dust, then burnished to a glass-like sheen — ideal for entrance halls, feature walls, and fireplace surrounds. Microcement is a polymer-modified, waterproof, seamless coating applied at just 2–3mm thickness over existing substrates including tiles, making it perfect for contemporary wet rooms, open-plan kitchen floors, and commercial interiors. Tadelakt is an ancient Moroccan lime plaster technique, polished with a smooth river stone and sealed with natural olive soap to create a velvet-stone, naturally waterproof surface. For bespoke joinery, wardrobes, and architectural woodwork, we apply high-gloss polyester lacquer — a three-component mineral resin system that cures to the hardest, most UV-stable finish available, wet-sanded and machine-buffed to a 97% mirror reflectance.

Key Features

  • Venetian polished plaster
  • Microcement (waterproof, seamless)
  • Tadelakt (traditional Moroccan lime)
  • High-gloss polyester lacquering
  • Mirror finish woodwork and joinery

Eco-Friendly & Zero-VOC Decorating by Hampstead Painting Company in Hampstead and North London

Eco-Friendly & Zero-VOC Decorating

Traditional petrochemical paints off-gas Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) for months after application, degrading indoor air quality and triggering respiratory sensitivities. Our eco-decorating service eliminates this risk entirely. We use Earthborn Claypaint — EU Ecolabel certified, zero VOC, free from acrylics and vinyl — and Graphenstone, a revolutionary paint system combining natural lime with graphene technology for superior durability and zero toxic emissions. Both brands require specific application techniques: Earthborn needs surfaces stabilised with Earthborn Wall Glaze on powdery lime plaster, and Graphenstone benefits from a mineral primer to maximise adhesion. In addition, we address the primary anxiety of homeowners contemplating redecoration: airborne sanding dust. Our Mirka CEROS electric orbital sanders connect directly to HEPA vacuum extractors, capturing 99.97% of particulate matter before it enters the room. This effectively eliminates the need for you to leave your home during preparation works, protecting HVAC systems, fine furnishings, and soft goods.

Key Features

  • Zero VOC Earthborn Claypaint (EU Ecolabel)
  • Graphenstone natural lime and graphene paint
  • Mirka CEROS HEPA dust-free sanding
  • 99.97% dust capture — safe for allergy sufferers
  • Ideal for nurseries and children's rooms
  • Carbon-neutral product options available
  • Safe to remain at home throughout project
  • Full eco-disposal and recycling of materials

Our Process

1

Indoor air quality consultation and VOC assessment

2

Substrate testing and eco-appropriate primer specification

Mirka CEROS HEPA dust-free sanding of all surfaces
