Decorating Clapham Common North Side

Clapham Common North Side is one of south London's most impressive residential addresses, a sweeping run of Georgian and Victorian terraced houses and villas facing directly onto the open expanse of Clapham Common. The properties range from grand early-Georgian townhouses with original sash windows and formal facades to later Victorian additions, all enjoying exceptional views across the Common's mature trees and open grassland. The street forms one side of a largely intact historic streetscape of considerable architectural quality.

The exposed aspect of properties facing Clapham Common means facades are subject to significant wind-driven rain and UV exposure, accelerating wear on external paint and render. Heritage-compatible masonry systems and well-prepared timber window frames are essential on this prominent streetscape, where the quality of the external finish is highly visible from the Common.
