Nottingham’s Interior Painting Specialists
Living Rooms and Reception Rooms
Reception rooms are the most visible rooms in the house. Victorian reception rooms in Mapperley Park often have decorative plasterwork, deep cornicing, and ceilings above 3 metres. We also offer dedicated ceiling painting services.
We use the correct sheen level and application method for each surface to avoid patching failure and visible brush texture. Bay-windowed front rooms require careful cutting-in around the reveals and frames. We also offer dedicated dining room painting services.
Bedroom Painting
Bedrooms in period properties often have picture rails, original coving, and wide timber skirtings. These need preparation as much as the walls. We also offer dedicated bedroom painting services.
We strip flaking paint from joinery, fill and sand before priming, and apply a consistent finish throughout. We can work room by room so you can stay in the property throughout the job. We also offer dedicated home office painting services.
Hallways, Staircases, and Landings
Hallways take more wear than any other area of the house. We use durable finishes in hallways, not standard matt emulsion. We also offer dedicated hallway painting services.
Properties in West Bridgford and Sherwood often have tall entrance halls with original cornicing and a period staircase. These spaces set the tone for the whole interior. We also offer dedicated plasterboard painting services.
Kitchens and Utility Rooms
Kitchen walls and ceilings need coatings that resist moisture and grease. We use specialist kitchen and bathroom emulsions in these areas. We also offer dedicated bathroom painting services.
Kitchens in extension projects across West Bridgford and Wollaton are often where a whole-house repaint starts. See our house painting page for coordinating interior and exterior phases. For a complete cabinet refresh, see our kitchen cabinet painting page.
Ceilings and Woodwork
High ceilings are common in Nottingham’s Victorian and Edwardian stock. Ceilings above 3 metres require proper access equipment and the right paint system. We also offer dedicated radiator painting services.
Original joinery throughout Mapperley Park and The Park properties includes panelled doors, deep skirtings, and window seats. For Victorian property painting with specialist period detail, see our dedicated page.
Here’s How It Works
1. Assessment Visit
We visit the property before quoting. We check ceiling heights, surface condition, and plasterwork. We note any areas of concern, including lime plaster walls that need specialist primers. We also offer dedicated feature wall painting services.
2. Preparation
Furniture is moved and protected. Floors and fixed surfaces are covered. We fill and sand walls and woodwork before applying any paint. On period plaster, we apply the correct sealing coat. We also offer dedicated staircase painting services.
3. Priming and Undercoating
Bare or repaired surfaces are primed. Woodwork gets a full undercoat before the finish coat. Cutting-in on cornicing and architraves is done by hand.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats throughout. Ceilings first, then walls, then woodwork. We work methodically through each room to maintain a consistent wet edge. We also offer dedicated living room painting services.
5. Check and Clean
Once the final coat has dried, we inspect every surface. Touch-ups are completed before we leave. The property is left clean and ready.

Interior Painting Costs in Nottingham
Prices below are estimates only. Every property is different. Call 0115 647 7772 for a precise quote.
Property Size and Ceiling Height
A 4-bed Victorian semi with 3-metre ceilings takes significantly longer than a 3-bed 1930s detached with standard heights.
Surface Condition
Older properties with bare plaster patches, hairline cracks, or peeling woodwork require more preparation time. Proper prep is what makes the finish last.
Scope of Woodwork
Properties with deep skirtings, picture rails, panelled doors, and dado rails have more linear metres of woodwork to prepare and paint than modern properties.
Typical Ranges
4-bed Victorian semi (Mapperley Park, high ceilings, cornicing): £3,800 to £6,200. 3-bed 1930s detached (West Bridgford): £2,800 to £4,500. Single large room (Victorian reception): £600 to £1,100.
