Decorating Period Properties in Melton Mowbray
Melton Mowbray has a high proportion of Victorian and Edwardian properties, particularly around the town centre and on roads like Scalford Road and Thorpe End. These properties often present unique decorating considerations:
- Higher ceilings requiring longer roller poles and more paint coverage
- Ornate coving, dado rails and picture rails needing careful cutting-in
- Older plaster that may need filling, bonding or skimming before painting
- Sash windows with complex woodwork profiles
- Heritage paint ranges work beautifully in period properties — authentic chalky finishes
- Listed buildings may have restrictions on external painting colours
🏛️ Our decorators have extensive experience with period Leicestershire properties and can advise on the right preparation and paint choices for older homes.
Melton Mowbray New Builds & Estate Properties
The Melton area has seen significant new build development in recent years, particularly on the eastern and southern edges of the town. New build properties are typically straightforward to decorate — smooth walls, standard room heights, and modern fixtures. However, many new build owners choose to redecorate within the first 1–2 years as the developer's magnolia emulsion begins to look tired.
We offer competitive rates for new build decoration, especially when booking multiple rooms together for our 10% multi-room discount.
