Interior Painting in Trowbridge
Trowbridge’s 1970s and 1980s properties have lower ceiling heights than Victorian stock. 2.4 metres is standard, creating a compact interior profile where roller marks and sheen variation show clearly in raking light from modern windows.
Low Ceiling Heights
Careful roller work is required to avoid visible marks. Sheen variation shows clearly in raking light from modern windows.
Coving and Fitted Cupboards
Masking at ceiling junctions and cupboard edges must be precise. Fitted cupboards are common in this era of build.
Wall Preparation
Hairline cracks and plasterboard joint banding assessed and primed appropriately. Preparation of joint areas is important.
Timber Details
Windows, doors, and skirting prepared for topcoat without visible build-up. The boundary between ceiling and wall coving is a detail that matters.
The compact room scale means that preparation takes proportionally more time than a Victorian terrace of the same square metreage.
Exterior Painting in Trowbridge
The flat-panel concrete fascias on 1970s properties are a specific exterior challenge. Concrete fascias and soffits were often painted correctly with masonry paint initially. Later owners have painted them with gloss, which cracks and peels within three to five years.
Soffit and Fascia Assessment
We identify which sections have been over-painted with gloss. Removing gloss from concrete requires chemical stripper rather than sanding.
Chemical Stripping
Gloss removal from concrete using appropriate chemical products. Sanding concrete is impractical and damages the substrate.
Concrete Primer
An essential base on stripped concrete before masonry topcoat. The correct system is strip, prime, then masonry coat.
Masonry System
Appropriate coating for the concrete and any brick or render sections. Exterior painting on 1970s Trowbridge stock demands the right product sequence.
Properties with original masonry paint on fascias may not need stripping. We assess at the quoting stage.
Full House Painting in Trowbridge

Decorating Costs in Trowbridge
Trowbridge’s post-war properties are typically smaller and simpler than Victorian stock. Three things affect the price: size of the job, soffit condition, and surface preparation required.
Typical Price Ranges
Full exterior repaint, 1970s semi with gloss soffits stripped: £1,300 to £2,000. Full hallway and staircase: £700 to £1,200. Single bedroom redecoration: £300 to £600.
Full interior house redecoration, three-bed semi: £3,000 to £4,800. Kitchen cabinet respray: £600 to £1,500.
Soffit Condition
If soffits have been gloss-painted, chemical stripping adds cost. If original masonry paint is present, cost is lower. We assess at the quoting stage.
Surface Condition
Accumulated paint layers and filled cracks all add preparation time. Prices above are estimates only. Every property is different.
