Much of Kingston upon Thames's residential identity was shaped by the grand Victorian and Edwardian building boom, which built red-brick villas and decorative terraced homes. Featuring ornate lime-mortar brickwork, sliding timber sash windows, decorative plaster detailing, and steep slate roofs, this historic architecture is highly sought after but demands meticulous care. These traditional breathable materials must be handled correctly, as applying modern, non-breathable exterior coatings can trap moisture within the brickwork, leading to damp and structural decay.
Our team is also active across the rest of the KT1 and KT2 postcodes. We provide painting, decorating, and restoration work for historic riverside properties surrounding the Thames Path and the bustling town centre. We also work on homes and prestigious properties near Coombe Hill and the conservation areas of North Kingston, and regularly maintain the modern developments along the water, including Charter Quay.
These contemporary riverside properties, with their mixed timber cladding, render, and powder-coated metal elements, require a much more frequent inspection and resealing schedule than traditional masonry. Spanning from the leafy riverside lanes to the grand upland estates, we keep Kingston upon Thames protected against the elements.
Our team is led by Michael Brebe, who set up KHS in September 2011, so he has a wealth of experience under his belt.

FAQs on painting and decorating in Kingston Upon Thames
Q: Do you offer overnight commercial painting for independent shops and cafes around Kingston Market Place?
A: Yes, we often work for small shops and cafés in and around Kingston Market Place. When trading hours are tight, we’ll plan the job for evenings, nights or weekends so you don’t lose business. We use quickdrying, lowodour paints so you can welcome customers again the next day.
Q: Can you repair and paint cracked lath and plaster ceilings in historic Kingston Wick homes?
Yes. We regularly work on older properties near the bridge and Hampton Court, where original lath and plaster ceilings are still in place. We secure any loose areas, fill deeper cracks with flexible, breathable materials, and then finish with traditional flat paints that let the ceiling breathe and help prevent future problems.
Q: How do you handle painting the metal railings on modern apartment balconies at Charter Quay?
A: We look after a lot of balcony railings on the riverside blocks at Charter Quay and nearby developments. Because the metal is exposed to river air all year round, we thoroughly clean and prepare the surfaces, use specialist anti-rust primers, and then apply hard-wearing topcoats. We’re careful to protect the glass panels and the walkways below while we work.
Q: Do we need local council permission to change the exterior colour of our home in the Liverpool Road Conservation Area?
If your home is in a conservation area in Kingston, you’ll usually need to keep to colours that fit in with the surrounding street. Refreshing your home in a similar shade is usually fine, but a bold colour change may require council approval. We can talk through what’s typical locally and help you choose a colour scheme that feels right for the area.
Q: Do you offer professional wallpaper hanging for high-ceilinged Victorian homes in the area?
Yes. We hang all types of wallpaper, including detailed designs from brands such as William Morris and Sanderson. Many older houses have slightly uneven walls, so we normally line them first to create a smooth base. This helps the pattern sit neatly, reduces joins showing and keeps the paper secure for longer.
