Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire
Painter and decorator in Tewkesbury
Interior and exterior decorating in Tewkesbury, from the timber-framed buildings around the Abbey to the newer homes in Northway, Ashchurch and Walton Cardiff.
Redecorating after flooding or damp
Tewkesbury stands where the Severn and the Avon meet, and the town has a long history of flooding, most famously in July 2007 when water reached homes across the borough and even entered Tewkesbury Abbey. Walls that have been wet need time and the right approach before they are decorated again.
We wait until plaster has properly dried out, treat any staining so it does not bleed through, and use breathable paints on older solid walls so moisture can still escape. If an insurer or loss adjuster is involved, we can give a clear written quote for the redecoration part of the claim.
Timber-framed and period buildings
The historic centre along Church Street, High Street and Barton Street is a conservation area with many listed timber-framed buildings. Changing colours on the outside of a listed building may need consent, so check with Tewkesbury Borough Council first; repainting like-for-like is usually straightforward.
Inside, older buildings have uneven walls, exposed beams and old joinery that need patient preparation rather than a quick coat of paint.

FAQ
Tewkesbury decorating questions
How long should I wait to decorate after a flood?
Walls need to dry out fully first, which can take weeks or longer depending on the wall and how wet it got. Painting too early traps moisture and the paint fails. We check the walls and tell you honestly whether they are ready.
Can you quote for an insurance claim?
Yes. We give a clear, itemised written quote for the decorating work that you can pass on to your insurer or loss adjuster.
Do I need permission to repaint a listed building in Tewkesbury?
Repainting in the same colour is normally fine. Changing the colour of the outside of a listed building may need listed building consent, so check with Tewkesbury Borough Council before choosing a new colour.
Do you decorate timber-framed houses?
Yes. We work carefully around exposed beams and old joinery and use paints suited to older, breathable walls.
Do you cover Northway and Ashchurch?
Yes, along with Walton Cardiff and the rest of Tewkesbury. Send us your postcode to confirm.
