Painters in Balaclava

Balaclava's older flats and period homes cluster around the Carlisle Street shops. Older homes ask more of a painter than newer stock. Old timber moves, old paint chalks and sometimes contains lead - pre-1970s coatings get tested before sanding - and brick and render carry decades of patch repairs. The slow preparation is the job: scraping back to sound edges, flexible fillers, primers matched to aged surfaces.

A common question from Balaclava homeowners

Our home has original detail. Will it survive a repaint?

It should come up better, not worse. Old timber moves and old paint can chalk or contain lead, so pre-1970s coatings are tested before sanding, bare spots are spot-primed, and fillers and primers are matched to aged surfaces.
