Exterior painting may need colour care on conservation streets and an address-specific consent check; internal redecoration still needs honest photos of cracks, stains and previous coatings before a safe price basis is written.
Premium ranges (for example Farrow & Ball or Little Greene) are used when the brief specifies them — brand, sheen and colour references belong in the written scope, not as a generic claim on this page.
Woodwork, radiators and both-sides door painting should be listed separately from walls so the Highgate Village package is not under-scoped as a single room rate.
