Painters for Thurloe, Onslow & Pelham homes

Three settings, different architectural details

RBKC’s Thurloe Estate and Smith’s Charity appraisal distinguishes the gardens in front of Thurloe Square, Onslow Square and Pelham Crescent from the later gardens behind Onslow Gardens. It describes gault-brick upper floors and stucco bases in Thurloe Square, with projecting Doric porches. Pelham Place and Crescent have their own earlier composition. An exterior scheme should respond to the particular group rather than apply one treatment across these streets.

Let the entrance retain its character

The appraisal records distinctive studded, two-panel doors in Thurloe Square. Their profiles, surrounding masonry and adjoining ironwork warrant individual attention. For your entrance, describe the condition of the coating and the operation of the door; identify any hardware to retain. A proposed colour change and the preparation beneath it should be reviewed together, with the property’s consent position established before work starts.

Bring the garden-facing room into the scheme

Place colour samples where the daylight reaches the room and in the recess beside a chimney breast or cupboard. Compare them with curtains drawn as well as open. Discuss whether the window reveal, shutters and skirting will form one quiet background or have a separate finish. If a cornice or ceiling rose is present, show its condition clearly so the work can allow for its shape and any repair assessment.

Choose a sensible extent for the first phase

A connected hall and reception room can be considered as one commission, while bedrooms or an exterior remain separate. List those boundaries at the outset. For a flat, obtain the building’s arrangements for carrying materials and identify the person responsible for shared decoration. Include where furniture can be kept and which routes you need during the work. These details help us discuss a sequence suited to the home.
