Exterior Painters in London
First Impressions: An Elegant Period Property Back to Its Absolute Best
A project built on trust, precision, and flawless logistics
Read about how Ignas London’s experience and expertise as exterior painters in London made us the ideal choice to transform a heritage property from past its best to prestigious perfection.
We love the expression – your home is your castle. Don’t you?
Why? Because it sums up all that’s good about being at home. Pulling up the drawbridge to feel secure and at peace at the end of a busy day.
What we mean is, that warm, feel-good factor of knowing your property serves your needs and makes you feel safe. Likewise, how it presents to others – welcoming, smart, the best possible first impression.
Homeowner private clients have high standards, and rightly so; immaculate homes, consistent with the style and upkeep of the local area, and faultless service delivery from those they employ to make it happen.
A Georgian home in London that’s less than perfect simply will not do.
Justo, a business offering exceptional architectural, interior design, and building services in London, engaged Ignas as their external decoration partner to revive the Regency grace of a Grade II-listed residential building in Harrington Gardens, Kensington.
Why Ignas London?
Not all exterior painters in London are the same. So, the answer was simple:
- Proven strengths in delivering premium quality results within ultra-tight deadlines
- Long-term involvement in heritage properties
- The essential skills required to lead, manage and motivate skilled teams to produce excellent work with strict quality controls
What Did We Find?
As highly practised exterior painters in London, we know this much is true: The weather can wreak havoc with the outside of buildings.
In brief, we found a beautiful building affected by the elements – it rains a lot in London. And, it was showing its age, of course. Could we turn back time? Yes, of course.
What Did The Client Need?
For this exterior decorating project, the home’s 100 wooden sash windows required a full restoration, including the careful removal of paint from two-thirds of them.
The putty was old and damaged, plus the metalwork and external façade elements had seen better days. Without a doubt, they needed to be cleaned, repaired and repainted.
Grade II-listed homes deserve only the best-quality materials and tools.
Ignas were pleased to recommend a classic high-gloss finish with oil-based paint for maximum durability and aesthetic effect.
At its peak, this substantial project involved 22 on-site workers, a project manager and two supervisors to keep everything on track.
What Did Ignas London Do?
As ever, everything started with thorough, in-depth preparation. The Ignas team knows to take meticulous care with all our client properties, and this lovely home was no exception.
We carefully removed the old paint from the dilapidated windows, then repaired and reapplied putty to the wooden elements where needed. The wooden and metal parts were then treated to a high-gloss, long-lasting finish paint. Likewise, our skilled workers cleaned and repaired sections of the façade.
The team was, and is, used to deadlines, including this one: a non-negotiable, seven-week time period during the school holidays. We drew on our knowledge as exterior painters in London to operate efficiently, with no compromise on quality.
How We Worked
Teamwork was essential.
This is us at our very best – and how we shine: coordinating with great skill an at-times large and rotating workforce, to ensure best practice techniques to heritage-appropriate standards.
Our management’s proactive approach kept our client up to speed at all times.
Above all, the Ignas team were proud to have worked in full alignment with the contractor and architect.
The Results: Exterior Painters in London Par Excellence
Ignas completed the project within its challenging seven-week time frame with relative ease. And how did the exterior look?
The building’s façade and window elements are now immaculate, with full restoration and preservation. With zero compromise on craftsmanship, despite the strict deadline, they look beautiful – fully and faultlessly restored to their timeless best.
At the risk of cliché, teamwork really does make the dream work; we worked in close partnership with the other teams for an amazing improvement and protection of one of London’s greatest assets: its stylish, flawless architecture of a bygone age, preserved for generations to come.
