Why Choose Primrose Painting?

Heritage and listed buildings need more than just a standard paint job. They need a thoughtful approach, the right techniques, and people who understand what’s at stake. For years, we’ve been trusted to work on heritage and listed properties across Camden – from listed Georgian townhouses to Victorian terraces – and we take real pride in helping preserve the character that makes these buildings so special.

Listed building regulations

Listed buildings come with their own set of regulations, and we’re well-versed in what’s required. We liaise with conservation officers and follow the proper processes to make sure everything’s done by the book – so there are no surprises or hold-ups along the way

Craftsmanship that respects tradition

Our team has hands-on experience with traditional materials and painting methods, using tried-and-tested techniques to restore and refresh your building while keeping its original features intact.

Careful project planning

From the first site visit to the final touch-up, we plan every detail with your property’s age and structure in mind. Whether it’s protecting period windows or working around delicate render, we’re careful, considerate, and always focused on getting the best results without putting your building at risk.

Our Heritage Building Painting Process

When it comes to heritage and listed buildings, a careful and considered approach makes all the difference. We don’t rush or cut corners – we take the time to do things properly, so your property gets the protection it needs without losing any of its character.

Getting to know the building

We start with a proper look at your property – checking what it’s made of, the current condition, and anything that might need fixing before we pick up a brush.

Planning & approvals

Listed buildings often need extra paperwork. We’re used to working with local authorities and conservation teams, so we’ll help you handle the consents and make sure everything’s in place before we begin.

Surface preparation

Preparation is everything – especially with older buildings. We clean and repair surfaces carefully, using techniques that respect the materials and avoid damage.

Traditional materials & techniques

We stick to breathable, heritage-friendly paints and finishes that let the building’s structure do what it’s meant to.

Finishing touches & final checks

Before we call it done, we go over every inch of the work to make sure it meets our standards – and yours.

Clean-up & walkthrough

We’ll tidy up, pack away, and then walk the site with you to make sure you’re happy with everything. No mess left behind.
