Painting & Decorating in Stroud
Homes in Stroud
Stroud sits where five valleys meet, and many of its older houses are stone, built on hillsides where access is limited. Stone and lime plaster in older houses generally need paint that lets them breathe, rather than a modern plastic-based coating. On a listed building, altering the external colour or finish can require listed building consent. When you get in touch, mention steps, slopes or narrow approaches so we understand the access. The reviewer here praised how flexibly last-minute changes were handled and how the work was coordinated with other trades on site. The photo shows a window surround we painted cream, with the shutters open.

“I have recently used Alpha Renovations Ltd to carry out work on our behalf at the new Cotswold Designer Outlet, just off junction 9 of the M5. From the very start Rousit was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the job. Throughout the building process he handled all of the material orders and was able to complete a variety of skill sets from laying ceramic tiles, spray painting, plumbing and joinery work, all to an extremely high standard. He also liaised with the other tradesmen we had onsite, such as electricians and HVAC contractors. As with all jobs, there are always curve balls thrown in at the last minute. Rousit was very flexible with these and the end outcome was amazing! I was extremely happy with the work carried out and hired their services again to help us fit out another store down at Clarks Village, Street. I would definitely recommend Alpha Renovations Ltd for any building work, whether it be domestic or commercial.”

Questions about painting & decorating in Stroud
What paint suits an old stone house in Stroud?
Older stone and lime-plastered walls usually need a breathable paint, not a modern plastic-based one. Let us know what your walls are made of and talk it through with us when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth mentioning access when I get in touch?
Yes. Many older Stroud homes sit on steep hillside plots with limited access, so a note about steps, slopes or parking helps us understand the job before we price it.
