Interior Painting in Southville
A whole-house refresh is a big first step. Most owners here have only ever painted one room before. Brunel Decorators provide interior painting that takes the worry out of the rest.
We start by walking the house with you. We agree colours, order, and which rooms matter most. You get a clear plan before any work begins. No guesswork and no pressure.
Terraced houses in BS3 share a few traits. Tall ceilings, picture rails, and bay windows all need careful cutting-in. Older plaster can hide small cracks until the light hits it. We fill and prepare these before the finish coat goes on.
On a Southville interior we work in phases, decorating in a sequence that keeps part of the house usable so you are rarely without a room. We use low-VOC, low-odour paints that matter when you are living in the house throughout, and they clear faster, which helps with children at home. Wall preparation comes first, with hairline cracks and old filler sorted before anything else, because a finish is only as good as the prep beneath it. And if you are unsure on shades, we talk you through the options and provide sample patches before you commit.
You stay in the house while we work. We plan the order so daily life carries on. That is the whole point of a phased job.
Exterior Painting in Southville
Many fronts in BS3 are rendered or painted masonry. Bristol gets a lot of rain, so exterior paint takes a beating. Our painting of rendered terrace fronts protects the wall and timber beneath.
Exterior painting on a Southville terrace usually means a few things. Rendered or painted front elevations. Timber sash and bay windows. The front door, which sets the tone for the whole street.
We check render condition first, repairing cracks and blown patches before any paint, since painting over them guarantees an early callback. Bare timber on window and bay woodwork is primed correctly so the top coat bonds and lasts. And the front door, the quickest lift a terrace front can get, is prepped properly for a smooth finish.
A correctly prepared exterior should last several years. A rushed one rarely sees out a single wet winter. We do not cut the prep to save a day. Many owners pair this with their interior refresh and take the whole lot as one project.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Southville
A new kitchen is a big spend. Often the cabinets are sound and only the colour feels dated. Brunel Decorators offer kitchen cabinet painting that gives fitted units a fresh look for far less.
Cabinet painting lives or dies on preparation. Factory lacquer and old finishes must be cleaned and keyed first. Skip that step and the new paint chips around the handles within a year.
We do it properly. Doors are degreased, sanded, and primed with a specialist primer. Then we apply two or three hard-wearing top coats. The result holds up to daily kitchen use.
This works well on modern fitted kitchens and on older painted units. We match the finish to how the kitchen is used. Busy family kitchens get the most durable system we offer.
Here’s How It Works
1. Site visit
We visit before quoting. We look at every room or surface, check the prep needed, and listen to what you want. First-time clients always have questions. We answer them all.
2. Written quote
You get a written quote with a fixed price and a plain description of the work. No vague figures and no extras added later.
3. The plan
We agree start dates, colours, and the room order. You know what is happening each day before we arrive.
4. The work
Our team protects floors and furniture, works tidily, and clears up each evening. Preparation comes first, then two finish coats as standard.
5. Walk-through
When the last coat has dried, we check every surface in good light. We fix any touch-ups, then walk the finished job with you.
Decorating Costs in Southville
Prices below are estimates only. Every property is different. Call 0117 463 3348 for a precise quote.
Most Southville homes are mid-terrace houses of a similar size. That makes pricing fairly predictable once we have seen the property. A first whole-house interior typically starts around £4,500.
Three things shape the final figure. How much you do at once: a full house costs more upfront than a room at a time, though it also works out cheaper per room. Surface condition: heavy old paint, wallpaper to strip, or cracked plaster all add preparation time. Finish level: premium paints and detailed cutting-in around bays and rails take longer than a basic coat.
Trade insight. Doing the whole house in one visit saves money. We set up, mask, and protect once rather than several times over. First-timers often underestimate this saving.
Full interior refresh, 3-bed terrace (North Street, Raleigh Road): £4,500 to £8,000.
Single room, walls, ceiling, and woodwork: £450 to £900.
Kitchen cabinet repaint, standard fitted kitchen: £1,200 to £2,500.
Exterior front, render, bay woodwork, and door: £1,500 to £3,200.
A home decorated recently sits at the lower end. One untouched for years, with layers to strip, takes longer and costs more. Call 0117 463 3348 to arrange a site visit and written quote.
