Leicester’s Whole-House Painting Service

Full Interior Repaint

A complete interior repaint covers every room, every ceiling, and every painted surface including all woodwork. Skirting, architrave, door casings, dado rails, picture rails, and window surrounds all need treating individually in a period property.

In a Stoneygate Victorian villa with 14 to 18 rooms across three floors, this is a multi-week project. We plan the sequence so the family always has usable rooms. For the full detail on what our interior work covers, see interior painting.

Exterior Walls and Woodwork

Once the interior is complete, we move to the exterior. We cover rendered masonry, painted brickwork, original sash windows, fascias, soffits, and front doors.

On Oadby detacheds, this typically means rendered gable ends and painted window surrounds. On Stoneygate villas, it means scaffold access, ornate fascias, and careful bay window preparation. For full detail, see exterior painting.

Sequenced Schedule for Occupied Homes

The biggest challenge on a whole-house project is managing the disruption for the family. We work room by room, completing each space before moving to the next. We agree the sequence at the first visit, before any work starts.

Period Properties

A whole-house project on a Victorian or Edwardian property in Stoneygate or Clarendon Park is not the same as painting a modern house. High ceilings, deep cornicing, ceiling roses, and hundreds of linear metres of period woodwork all need to be scoped and costed.

For sash windows, cornicing, and conservation area considerations, see our Victorian property painting page.

Pre-Sale Preparation

Presentation matters on a Stoneygate property. Pre-sale decorating is one of the highest-return things you can do before listing. We complete pre-sale projects to a deadline and work around estate agent viewings where required.

Leicester house painting project, exterior elevation by Leicester Decorators

Here’s How It Works

1. Full-Property Survey

We assess every room and every exterior elevation. We produce an itemised quote broken down by room and elevation.

2. Programme Agreement

Before any work starts, we agree the room sequence and the overall programme. You know what is happening each day.

3. Interior Phase

We work room by room, ceiling to skirting. Furniture is protected. Floors are covered. All preparation, priming, and finish coats are completed in each room before moving to the next.

4. Exterior Phase

Access equipment is erected once the interior phase is complete. Masonry, timber, and metal surfaces are prepared and painted in sequence.

5. Inspection and Sign-Off

We inspect every surface before the job is closed. Any touch-ups are completed. We walk through the whole property with you before we leave.

House Painting Costs in Leicester

A combined interior and exterior project is priced as a single job. Combining both phases is more efficient than booking them separately.

Leicester Decorators providing house painting cost estimates for Leicester properties

What Drives the Price

Property size and room count, condition of surfaces, and exterior complexity are the three main cost factors. A five-bedroom Stoneygate villa is a very different project to a three-bedroom Oadby detached.

Typical Ranges

Large Stoneygate Victorian semi (full interior and exterior): £6,500 to £12,000. Oadby 1950s detached (four bedrooms, interior and exterior combined): £4,800 to £7,500. Clarendon Park Victorian terrace (three storeys): £5,500 to £8,500.

Trade Insight

Combining interior and exterior into one project is meaningfully cheaper than booking separately, mainly because scaffold mobilisation and access arrangements happen once. Call 0116 493 0990 for a written quote.

House Painting FAQs

Can you do the full house, inside and outside, as one project?

Yes. Combining interior and exterior into a single project is more efficient than booking separately. We sequence interior rooms first, then move to exterior once scaffold or access equipment is in place. We provide a full itemised quote broken down by room and elevation.

How long does a whole-house project take in a large Stoneygate property?

A full interior and exterior on a large Stoneygate Victorian villa typically runs three to four weeks. Interior phases across 14 to 18 rooms take the bulk of that time. The exterior phase usually runs five to eight working days.

Can we stay in the property during a whole-house repaint?

Yes. Working room by room while the family remains in residence is standard for us. The key is agreeing the programme before we start so you know what is happening each day and which rooms are usable at each stage.

Do you provide a phased quote so we can choose what to do now?

Yes. We price whole-house projects in sections by default, broken down by room and by exterior elevation, so you can choose to proceed with the full scope or select phases.

Is it better to do interior before exterior, or the other way around?

Interior first is the standard sequence. It lets us complete all interior rooms before scaffold goes up and prevents delays caused by exterior access equipment.

How do you handle the staircase in a three-storey Clarendon Park townhouse?

The staircase is the main access route throughout the property. We paint landing sections in stages, keeping the main treads accessible at all times, and completing the staircase walls as a final stage once all rooms opening onto it are finished.

Do you cover Stoneygate conservation area requirements for exterior colour?

Yes. We are familiar with Stoneygate’s conservation area guidance. Repainting in a similar colour does not require permission in most cases. For colour changes, we advise on palettes appropriate to the conservation area.

What is included in the interior phase of a whole-house project?

Every room, ceiling, and painted woodwork surface throughout.
