Exterior Painting & Decorating in Bloomsbury

Bloomsbury’s got a certain charm you can’t fake – grand Georgian terraces, tucked-away townhouses, and the odd university building that’s seen a lot of life. If you live or work here, chances are your property has a story behind it. At Primrose Painting, we help keep those buildings looking sharp with our exterior painting and decorating services, using traditional methods and proper materials that suit the area’s heritage.

Heritage & Listed Building Painting

Bookshops, cafés, clinics – we paint Bloomsbury’s businesses so they stand out for the right reasons. We keep things tidy and work around your opening hours.

DOFF Cleaning

This is a gentle steam-cleaning method that shifts years of grime without damaging old brick or stucco. Especially useful if your place hasn’t had a proper clean in a while.

Sash Window Repairs

Original sash windows? Don’t rip them out – we can repair, repaint, and get them sliding again. Good for the house, good for the planet.

Anti-Climb Painting

We apply this to walls, ledges, and other access points where you want to keep people out. It’s clear, hard to notice, and comes with the right signage.

Scaffolding

Got a tall building or tricky access? We’ll sort the scaffolding, including permits from Camden Council if needed. One less thing to worry about.

Why Choose Primrose Painting?

We know Bloomsbury inside out – the tight corners, the listed buildings, the need to work quietly around
lectures and residents. It’s not just about slapping on paint; it’s about doing the job right, in the right way.

We know the rules

Conservation areas, listed façades, restricted colours – whatever applies to your property, we’ll make sure we follow it. We can even help with planning if needed.

Solid work that lasts

We prep properly – that means cleaning, fixing cracks, treating damp, and priming before a brush even hits the wall. The result? A finish that looks good and holds up.

Local, reliable, no fuss

We’re a North London team – nearby, experienced, and easy to work with. We turn up on time, keep things tidy, and crack on without drama.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission to paint my Bloomsbury home?

Possibly. If your building’s listed or in a conservation area, you might need permission – especially if you want to change colours or materials. We can check and guide you through it.

Can you handle scaffolding in busy areas of Bloomsbury?

Yes. We regularly sort scaffolding for properties on narrow streets or near busy foot traffic. We’ll manage the permit process with Camden Council too.

Is DOFF cleaning suitable for old buildings in Bloomsbury?

Absolutely. DOFF steam cleaning gently removes pollution, moss, and grime from porous brick and stone without causing damage, making it ideal for preparing Georgian and Victorian façades for repainting.

Do you work on university or institutional buildings?

All the time. We’re used to coordinating with estates teams and working around term time. Quiet, careful, and reliable – just how it should be.
