Arthur's Hill is just west of the city centre and only a few miles from our Westerhope base, so we are always happy to work here. If you need a room painted, a flat refreshed between tenants or a whole terrace redecorated, get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote.
The area is full of older terraced streets, many split into flats or let to students and hospital staff. That makes for practical decorating: walls that have seen years of use, woodwork that needs proper preparation, and owners who want a finish that lasts. We explain our plan clearly before starting, protect the property throughout and leave things tidy. Tell us about your home and we will arrange a convenient time to visit.

Arthur's Hill grew in the late Victorian period as terraced housing for workers in the expanding west end. Its long, regular streets of brick terraces and Tyneside flats run between Westgate Road and the edge of Nuns Moor, with the Royal Victoria Infirmary and the universities close by. Nearby Summerhill has grander Georgian and Victorian houses within a conservation area.
Because so many homes here are rented, decorating often happens between tenancies, sometimes on a tight timetable. Walls may have scuffs, picture hook holes and patched plaster, and kitchens and bathrooms often show signs of condensation. Our rental decorating service focuses on sound preparation and tough, washable finishes, so properties look fresh for viewings and hold up better through the next let.
Owner occupiers in the area often want to bring back some character. Many terraces keep original fireplaces, ceiling roses, four-panel doors and sash window recesses. Older plaster can be uneven or crazed, and in some cases lining paper gives a smoother base before painting. Old woodchip is still common in the area too, and removing it carefully, then repairing the plaster underneath, is often the first step.
Outside, terraces here are mostly brick with painted sills, lintels and front doors, and some have rendered or painted rear yards. These small exterior jobs can make a real difference, especially when sills have weathered badly. For interior work across the whole home, our interior painting covers walls, ceilings and woodwork, and we can quote for a single room or a full house.
Yes. Woodchip often hides tired plaster, so we soak or steam it off slowly to limit damage. Once the walls are bare, we fill gouges and cracks and assess whether the surface is smooth enough to paint. If the plaster is very uneven, lining paper or a skim by a plasterer may give a better base.
Use a consistent, neutral colour throughout and choose scrubbable emulsion for walls and satin or eggshell for woodwork. Keep a note of the exact colours so touch-ups are simple between tenancies. Hallways and stairs take the most wear, so it can be worth recoating those more often than bedrooms, which tend to stay in better condition.
Mould usually points to condensation and poor ventilation. Clean affected areas thoroughly with a suitable treatment, let them dry, then use a primer and a bathroom paint designed to resist moisture. Improving extraction, fitting a more powerful fan or opening windows after showers helps the new finish last much longer and keeps mould from returning.
Not always, but they need more careful preparation. Ceiling roses and cornices can be clogged with old paint, and original doors often carry many layers of gloss. We clean, fill and sand before applying finishes. For older lime plaster, breathable paints are usually a better choice than standard vinyl emulsion.
Yes. Small exterior jobs like front doors, sills and lintels are worth doing well, as they take the brunt of the weather. We scrape back loose paint, treat bare timber or stone, prime and apply a durable exterior finish. It is a quick way to lift the look of a terrace.
Their colour advice was spot on, our Arthur's Hill living room has real character now.
Brilliant interior colour consultation and perfect execution in our dining room.
Very tidy workers, respectful of our space, and delivered an impeccable finish.
Yes. Arthur's Hill is very close to our base in Westerhope, and we work regularly across the west end of Newcastle, including Fenham, Elswick and Benwell. Arranging a visit to look at your property is easy.
Yes, wherever possible. Let us know when the property becomes empty and when new tenants are due, and we will plan the decorating to fit. Early contact gives us the best chance of meeting a tight window.
No. Our quotes are free and come with no obligation. We visit the property, look at the condition of the surfaces and then provide a clear written price that sets out what is included, so you can compare it with confidence.
Yes. We can decorate individual flats or several within one building, including shared hallways and stairwells. We agree the order of work with you so occupied flats are disturbed as little as possible and residents can still use the stairs.
We will tell you before going any further. Small cracks and holes are normally part of our preparation, but larger areas of loose or blown plaster may need a plasterer. We explain the options so you can decide.
We can supply the materials or use paint you have already chosen. Either way, we will advise on suitable products for each surface, such as washable finishes for hallways or moisture-resistant paint for bathrooms and kitchens where steam is common.
Send us a few details and we will be in touch to talk through the work and arrange your free quote.
