Local decorators who know Stoneygate homes
Stoneygate (LE2) is one of Leicester's most handsome suburbs, full of substantial Victorian and Edwardian homes along its leafy avenues. We decorate right across the area — from grand villas off London Road to family homes towards Knighton — with honest pricing, meticulous preparation and a finish that does these period properties justice.
The homes we decorate in Stoneygate
Stoneygate is defined by its period housing: tall ceilings, deep skirting boards, ornate cornicing, sash windows and generous hallways. Homes like these reward careful, sympathetic decorating — proper filling and caulking, clean lines against original features, and the right paint systems for older plaster. We also look after the area's newer apartments and mews homes, which are usually quicker, cleaner refreshes.
Popular decorating jobs in Stoneygate
Common Stoneygate jobs include redecorating high-ceilinged reception rooms and stairwells, refreshing period hallways with their original woodwork, repainting ornate cornicing and ceiling roses, and full repaints when families move into these much-loved older homes.
