Full House Painting in Battledown
Whole-House Programmes for Large Properties
Battledown draws families that have invested seriously in a property. These are large houses with multiple reception rooms, wide hallways, substantial staircases, and up to five or six bedrooms.
A full interior programme here is a significant undertaking — and it deserves a coordinated approach from a single team.
One Team, Every Room
Cheltenham Decorators manages Battledown whole-house projects as a single programme. One team handles every room, all joinery, and the exterior in a coordinated sequence.
There are no handoffs between contractors and no scheduling gaps. The ground floor and upper floors are finished to the same standard.
Realistic Timelines, Delivered
Work at this scale typically runs two to four weeks for the interior alone. We give a realistic timeline in the written quote and we work to it.
Battledown’s professional community notices delivery as much as finish quality. Both matter.
Interior and Exterior as One Project
We cover interior painting and exterior in a single programme. Facades, woodwork, garages, and outbuildings are all included in the scope where required.
Interior Painting in Battledown
Period Features and Edwardian Character
Battledown’s Edwardian houses have wide entrance hallways with original staircase balustrades, front reception rooms with deep chimney breasts, and original ceiling cornicing.
Period joinery runs throughout. The decoration needs to support that character — not work against it.
All Joinery Included as Standard
Cheltenham Decorators paints all joinery as part of the full interior scheme. Skirting boards, architraves, door frames, window reveals, and staircase balustrades get the same preparation and finish as the walls.
In Edwardian houses with rich original joinery, these surfaces are central to the interior — not optional line items.
Chimney Breasts and Alcoves
Chimney breast alcoves in the principal reception rooms are a regular feature on Battledown properties. We handle recessed shelving, original timber surrounds, and the chimney breast itself as part of the room scheme.
Extensions, Loft Conversions, and Garden Rooms
Where properties have rear extensions, loft conversions, or garden rooms, we match new spaces to the existing scheme. The full house reads consistently when we finish.
How We Work
1. Free Site Visit
We visit the property, walk every room and elevation, and assess all surfaces. For large Battledown properties, this is a thorough process. We note surface types, paint conditions, period features needing individual preparation, and any exterior areas needing repair.
2. Written Quote
A clear, itemised fixed-price quote covering every room, surface, and elevation. Materials, access equipment, and scaffolding where required are included. No additions after the quote is agreed.
3. Scheduled Work
We agree a start date and work through the property systematically. Furniture is protected, floors are covered, and each room is left usable at the end of every day.
4. Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished property with you before leaving. Anything that falls short is corrected before sign-off.

Battledown Property Types
Large Edwardian Detached: Ashley Road and Stanley Road
The detached houses on Ashley Road, Stanley Road, and the upper slopes of Battledown Hill are among Cheltenham’s most impressive family properties. They have wide frontages, multi-bay elevations, and full period features throughout.
Full house programmes on these properties are our most comprehensive Cheltenham briefs.
Edwardian Semi-Detached: Battledown Approach
Substantial Edwardian semi-detached properties make up a significant portion of the Battledown Estate. Well-proportioned rooms, original hallways, and period joinery are common.
Full interior programmes typically run two to three weeks for a four or five-bedroom property.

The interwar detached homes on the estate’s outer streets have solid construction and more straightforward interior profiles. These are excellent family houses with fewer period features.
