GRADE LISTED BUILDINGS

If your house is listed you may need to get permission for external redecoration if this would change the character of the building, for example by painting outside walls if they have never been painted before, or using bright colour. In some conservation areas there may be special controls on the colours you can use, so check with your local authority first. If your house is in a terrace there may be a tradition of using different bright colours, or for all houses to match; it’s a good idea to take account of local approaches. Interior decoration is very much a matter of personal taste, but there are some things that you need to remember if you live in an old house there may be traces of interesting earlier decoration.

Take extra care with redecoration because there may be layers of old paint that tells the story of the house

There could be unusual wall paintings hidden under later plaster, paint or wallpaper, which need to be kept and may be worth restoring

Seek specialist advice and conservation, rather than just redecoration. Stripping paint or lime plaster can take away layers of history that can’t be replaced

Painted or stained, rather than bare woodwork is the norm in most historic houses and in some cases was an important design feature. In such cases stripping these finishes would be damaging

Try to work with the character of your house, finding out how it would have looked, and make the most of any original decorative features

Original features such as plaster ceilings or hardwood panelling - may need special treatment, so look for firms that specialise in restoring or repairing historic interiors

Wall-panelling, plaster cornices, picture rails and timber mouldings around doors and windows are valuable and you would need consent to take them out
