Charlton Kings, Gloucestershire
Painter and decorator in Charlton Kings
Careful interior and exterior decorating for Charlton Kings homes, with plenty of experience on older houses, sash windows and traditional joinery.
Sash windows and exteriors
Painted timber sashes need regular maintenance to keep water out. We sand back, fill, prime bare timber and repaint frames and sills, and paint front doors, render and brickwork details to keep the outside of the house protected.
We also make sure sashes are not painted shut, so the windows still slide freely once the job is finished.
Older houses with character
Charlton Kings lies on the eastern side of Cheltenham towards the Cotswold escarpment. Much of its housing is Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war, with high ceilings, deep skirtings, panelled doors and timber sash windows, alongside newer homes.
These features look their best with careful preparation: stripping failing layers where needed, filling and sanding joinery smooth, and cutting in cleanly against picture rails and cornices.

FAQ
Questions from Charlton Kings homeowners
Do you paint sash windows in Charlton Kings?
Yes. We prepare and repaint timber sashes, frames and sills, working carefully so the windows still open freely afterwards.
How often should painted sash windows be redone?
It depends on how exposed they are, but south and west facing windows usually show wear first. When paint starts to crack or lift on the sills and bottom rails, it is time to repaint before water gets into the timber.
Can you strip old paint from doors and skirtings?
Where layers are failing or have built up so much that detail is lost, we strip back before repainting. Paint in older houses can contain lead, so we use safe methods and keep dust under control.
Do you work on high-ceilinged Victorian rooms?
Yes. Tall rooms, cornices and picture rails are normal work for us, and we bring the right steps and platforms to reach them safely.
Who do I ask about changes to a listed house in Charlton Kings?
Charlton Kings is in Cheltenham Borough, so listed building and conservation questions go to Cheltenham Borough Council.
